Some countries have trained builders in the informal sector in safe building techniques.

They REALLY like making pools of one kind or another, it’s fun to see.  Plus they have a few tree houses they’ve made and the like

I just spent over an hour lost on that channel. It’s actually super soothing. They don’t talk ever, just ambient building noises.

I love this

There’s actually hundreds of channels doing stuff like this on YouTube you just gotta follow the rabbit hole

but! (and I don’t mean to be a buzzkill, but I figured I needed to share) it’s likely that a lot of them are using large crews and modern equipment

here’s a video about it that breaks down some of it down, and it’s disappointing, but really interesting! and it shows how deceptive people are when it comes to making things look good for clicks.

From the Artist:

Architecture is the environment inside which we spend our lives; it inhabits the landscapes we travel through. Like architecture, furniture is designed around the space of the body; the difference is one of scale.

Working at the intersection between the space of the body and that of architecture I seek to enliven our awareness of the spaces where we live and re-examine the objects we associate with.

Objects can tell us a story about those who made and used them. Adopting these stories, each piece gives that history a literal and proverbial home.

In this work, every intervention draws a measure of its design from the object itself; referencing vernacular architecture, model making, sheds, tree houses, bridges and other structures. Separating themselves from the world of functional buildings through change of scale and context the works reveal and celebrate the logic of stick-frame construction.

It’s just funny to me how I’ve always been a builder. As long as I could remember, taking things apart and putting them back together. Tinkering with things. I suppose I got it from my dad, he was a mechanic, a tinkerer, an architect. He spent his whole life building, building, building. From car factories to building our house, he was good at it. And so I grew up building. Cars, science projects, catapults and slingshots, virtual building with programming. But what I think I was actually building up was a determination. A determination that anything can be done if you just put the pieces together right. If you just take a step back and look it over, you can find a way to make it work. It was a determination that got me to where I am now. It was a determination that when you met a wall, you built a ladder. It gave me this sense of not only was anything possible, bu I could make it possible. And that’s exactly what I’m doing. And so now my dad helps me build furniture for my new house, while I build particle accelerators and neutrino detectors.

Damn right she’s building robots in there, she’s a cybernetics genius, she’s running Danger’s restoration program at age 22. If the stuff on her desk isn’t jaeger-related she’s probably making incredibly advanced little machines out of old spare parts just to like relax and unwind after a long day

Wasn’t her father a sword maker? That’s why she built one in Gypsy Danger, to honor him. Maybe those are the swords his father made. Could be only thing she has left of him.

It really says something about the US gun policy that students are largely unfazed in the midst of a school shooting. As someone who’s been through 3 “gunman in the building” incidents throughout my school career, I can tell you that students aren’t scared. These kids, they think like soldiers. Getting news of a threat in the building is met more with annoyance than fear

Any states in particular you've been looking at universities in? Because if you're thinking about Denver at all I can highly recommend Metropolitan State University. The tuition is hella cheap, the professors are great, small class sizes, beautiful campus right in Denver. They recently finished building a new aerospace building and because it also shares campus with CU Denver you can take some of your classes through CU but still pay metro tuition.

Ooooooooooooooo

Anonymous asked:

When you said that buildings facing certain wat bothers you I immediately thought about where I work and how the entrance is facing away from the busy streets and is on a corner. It faced south though.

I get bothered by how the building faces aren’t like “true north” and whatnot like if the face of your building is like 5 degrees off true north I hate it

“Dorian” is such a lovely name, but every time I look for its origins, the internet tells me that it wasn’t a thing before Oscar Wilde, and, knowing Oscar Wilde, that probably means he did actually name the protagonist of his only novel after a historical Greek style of architecture.

sherlock-overflow-error

Actually, we do know the origin of Dorian’s name!

Before Oscar Wilde, the last modern work where the word “Dorian” was prominent was J. Addington Symonds’s “A Problem in Greek Ethics” (1883), where he talks about all the different tribes of Greece–especially the Dorians–and how they were all fond of comradely love ™ and alla that. It’s basically the first article to go, “Actually…the gays are cool? We stan?” and all the gay kids went completely crazy over it for, like, the rest of the century.

So yes, Oscar Wilde absolutely sat down and read this article talking about the “heroic ideal” of “Dorian love” and then went and wrote his book 8 years later like, hell yeah, this is FOR THE GAYS, and I’m going to give my protagonist the GAYEST NAME POSSIBLE.

helloitsbees

wait so he was named after a group of people from a specific area of Greece who were known for being gay? that’s…that’s like if someone wrote a book about a gay woman and her name was literally Lesbian
