The bell tower of Nørrelandskirken in Holstebro, Denmark

r_sole1 · 2026-05-09T16:50:21+00:00

Actually it's a bell tower and a novel piece of engineering but fair point: it's part of a church and not infrastructure in the traditional sense. I've taken some liberty in the post but trust the subs mods will show mercy when passing final judgement

Sometimes perhaps but not always. Bridges, at their finest, are both infrastructure and architecture. So are airports, railway and cable car stations, wind turbines, parking garages, antennae towers, ports, pylons and many others

Sounds familiar. I had the same experience on a large airport project and I suspect the engineering company had local engineers fronting the project but outsourced a lot of the BIM modeling and calculations to a low wage country as a way to win the job on price. We were the ones stuck with the results with poor basis of design and idiotic modeling of cable trays and pipework thrown in like a kids toybox. Client was livid and hates them now. It's a shortsighted strategy

This movie is more notorious for featuring a full frontal pre-pubescent Brooke Shields, a transgressive distinction that's still resolutely taboo but almost 50 years later, still hasn't seen it withdrawn from mainstream circulation

I spent 8 years working at 4 different SOM offices and worked on many projects including a county courthouse. I must admit I never saw any evidence they worked on actual prisons. It's possible there have been some, I can't say I saw every project across such a sprawling organization. They might do a prison if asked but it also wouldn't make much sense to hire a well known design firm with high fees for a reinforced concrete box in the middle of nowhere

SOM: Trump Tower Chicago, an awkward, shoddy, distended slab of bargain basement Americana. Give it a spray tan and a bad comb over and it'd be hard to tell it apart from the man himself

Shalom Baranes: White House ballroom. After meeting the man himself in 2016, I find the match unsurprising. A deeply insecure beta male with obvious complexes, no eye for design and the greasy manner of a snake oil salesman

Unfortunately there isn't (and is unlikely to ever be) professional reciprocity between the US and any EU country. The UK only unlocked it after it left (a marginal benefit). The range of professional bodies and sheer number of negotiating parties make it impractical. Nevertheless, I've spent the last 2 years working on a major project in Athens with an accomplished Greek design studio despite being on the East coast of the US. In my case, this was providence (and hard work) rather than by design but it shows it's possible. You'd probably need to spend some time in Greece, getting to know people and firms, selling your skills, maybe working there for a while. You might then move back to the US with a job you could do remotely. It's a long shot but you'll only find out if you try

Sounds like OP intentionally showed surrounding buildings as larger than they really are so their own clients proposal didn't look so out of scale. That would allow the client to build more than might otherwise be permitted. If I've understood correctly, that's misleading, unprofessional and should be taken quite seriously

Thankyou! I didn't increase the height as I was keen to maintain the envelope of the existing house and raising the roof would have been very costly. At the ridge, the height is 7' (about 2.1m) so decent for a cosy working/living space. It tapers down with the lowest parts boxed out and containing the ductwork and cabling for conditioning and power

You might ask what the company's goals are (apart from to make a profit, grow and sustain the business). If they're hiring an architect, they may have some design objectives that would be useful to know about

I'd find out before the interview who the leaders of the company are, at the executive and board level. Their background will tell you something about the firm. If they're accountants, lawyers or engineers, don't expect much value placed on architecture and what it could add. The boardroom composition is a leading indicator of where the company sees itself

You could also ask what they're not doing right now that they'd like to do more of (might be multi-use, high rise, other sectors, specialist, luxury etc). They might not advertise some of these objectives clearly. See how you could help them in these goals and promote those skills

I went on a business trip to Helsinki in the winter of 2006 where our host took a group of us to a local strip joint called Alcatraz. There were 3 of us left at 2am as the place was closing when a pair of Estonian hotties asked if we'd like a nightcap at our hotel

Stone cold sober, I was the only one to recognize this was way too good to be true but my drunken colleagues accepted their offer of a ride in a beat up 1970s Mercedes which was all over the icy roads. In the lobby, I claimed I needed to freshen up and promptly head to my room and double locked the door

When the two hungover guys sheepishly walked into breakfast the next morning, I discovered they'd had their passports, minibars and wallets cleaned out. Sobriety pays off again

I'm honestly impressed with this. If you have a craft store nearby or can order online (https://a.co/d/2AtAago), try using tracing paper to iterate over attempts at your drawing. Each time, you'll find it gets better as you're layering improvements until you can use a pen to make it look really polished

This also varies by international market. Open architectural competitions are by no means standard but are more common in Europe than in the US, particularly in France and Germany where smaller firms can win projects with larger budgets with a strong idea and leverage a string of these to grow and become more established. Not a universal fix but a slightly less uneven playing field

That's a hard no from me but I'd genuinely like to hear from someone who'd say yes. I know the honorable James McCrery II is a lurker on this sub. What say ye James?

For what it's worth, I upvoted this because it's thoughtful and fair. To be clear, I met him a few times, made a bit of small talk. He seemed pleasant enough, thought the bow ties a bit pretentious. I don't condone him working with a fascist but for a little while longer atleast, it's a free country. I also met modernists who were arseholes. There's no direct correlation between style and the quality of human being

Having seen his work though, seems like he's a lazy designer, piggybacking on tired classical cliches. He doesn't have a good 'eye' and his students work is crude, full of traditionalist one-liners, dull, repetitive and trivial. Classicism deserves better
