What does /fa/ think a good house looks like? Interesting article/podcast

I gotta admit I like the look of the gaudiest McMansions. I find symmetry boring and they kind of have a baroque appeal that more tasteful architecture doesn't have.

you can have modern without tacky though. Have you ever seen the house from ex machina? It looks beautiful and elegant, not a conglomerate of things that look expensive.

It's not an effay career, but it is effay to actually rake your lawn yourself when it's necessary, on a cool november sunday afternoon

I've considered doing architecture at university, anyone who's done it themselves or know someone who has?

>>11877090
I don't like modern, I don't like elegant, I like conglomerates of things that look expensive (which is what baroque is about).

>>11877229

Not just that, also the labyrinthine look. Makes it seem like the house has plenty of hidey-holes for me to crawl into.

>>11877247
Yeah, I can appreciate that. Just have to balance the line between baroque opulence and tacky.

I have been in both mcmansions and mansions and mansions are of course more effay. mcmansions are mall tier effay. its better to have a cozy small house in a nice part of town than a shit big one in some lame suburb.

>>11877082
what's labeled as crown moulding is called chair rail moulding and looks lovely if done right.

crown moulding lines the top of walls and is butted up against the celing. there is crown moulding in this pic, but it's being used in a nontraditional way as some weird backlit affair to create drama, i guess.

haven't listened to the podcast (or 99% for at least a year), but mcmansions are trash designed by non-architects and contractors, who lack taste and build homes that maximize square footage and real estate value (adding unnecessary bathrooms or bedrooms, etc) and appeal to people who lack taste. mansions have work done by actual craftsmen (carpenters, tile layers, bricklayers, etc) who are doing custom work, not just plugging in whatever they can get a deal on at home depot.

in short: fuck both, because both are ridiculous and tasteless, but fuck mcmansions and the mindset behind them even more.

This is one of my favorite less outlandish homes.
I'm an architect so I hope to one day have enough money to design my own home, I'd rather have something modest than large, but I don't think less of people who do like more standard or traditional styles. I think the more you study something the more likely you're pushed to appreciate the contemporary within that field.

That's pretty cool. You know what her experience was like? The impression I got is that it's a blend of technical and artistical know-how which would suit me just fine. Issue is that some of the universities in my country seem to be almost entirely focused on the artsy side of it and as a result the education comes off as pretty fuzzy.

As far as I can tell there's a shitload of standardization and stuff that she deals with, which honestly isn't that interesting to me, but she seems to like it. She's recently further educated herself in the art of restoring old buildings, which she really seems to like. She and her husband also bought an old village church in the countryside a few years back, and she's drawn lots of schematics for needed expansions.

It doesn't seem to be very artistically oriented though, not like she's designing eiffel towers and shit from scratch. Maybe that depends on your orientation and on your seniority.

>>11877690
Yeah, KTH is the school I was the most interested in. But like I said; its education seemed a bit fuzzy according to the people I've asked. If I were to seriously consider it I figure it's between the three big boys; KTH, Chalmers, and Lund.

It always amused me that the most prestigious architecture school in the country was holed up in what might aswell have been Stasi headquarters. The new building's not really my taste either; pic related.

>>11877707
theres some good quiality well built homes in that size range

>>11877713
I don't know if I like the new building or not. On one hand the large, curved windows can look really neat when reflecting the blue sky, on the other hand le industrial construction material without any ornamentation or even a coat of paint meme. But fuck, it's not really that bad. Makes the space around it sort of flow pleasantly too.

t. walk by it on my way to classes sometimes

>>11877726
The feeling I get is that it's a bit naked. It's a big, oval industrial thing that's been mysteriously seperated from the early 20th century brick building it should be anchored to.

They have a private gym in the basement with a lightwell, and all the most expensive art the school has outside the museum.

>>11878015
Its not just about money/riches metaphors. It's environmental as well. The ever present and unrelenting sun, the mirage-like visions made in the reflection which are common in desert lore. Reflections of the mountains, the sky, putting a pop-up city in its place along a geologic timescale. And when viewed from an elevation in the heat of the, it blends beautifully with the dust and concrete and sprawl stretching to the horizon. Go to the desert sometime. Architecturally and aesthetically gold looks wonderful there. Which may account for it being so loved more generally in the Middle East.

>>11878059
>Go to the desert sometime.
I live in Sweden so that might be a bit difficult. That said, I definitely get your point. Scale and context is so important for architecture; it's often a bit unfair to judge a building based on a few pictures alone.

>>11877222
there is an abundance of architects in the job market and there has been for the past 10+ years.

do not go into architecture.

>>11878073

definitely do not go into architecture tho.

>>11878084
The alternative is medicine. I figure I can cultivate my knowledge and interest in architecture as I study to become something else; the opposite is seemingly way less meaningful.

No, not really racist at all. Because I just wanted to point out that people still like to look at beautiful buildings, don't they? No one really likes looking at this po-mo garbage.

by the way, the dude telling you to stay out of architecture is talking out of his ass. It's a challenging field, and there is competition, but it's a rewarding field that rewards creativity and technical skill in equal measure.
If you work at some joggers bullshit firm yeah, it'll suck, but if you care about the field and want to do interesting things you'll meet interesting people and go to the coolest places. On the West Coast they're struggling to get as many designers in that they need. On the East it gets a bit shittier, and most firms expect graduate degrees since the field is so closely tied to academia for innovation.
The European market is great, and is Asian, but you do not want to work for an Asian architecture firm, they work you to death and have no creativity unless its some cool Japanese firm like Atelier Bow Wow, but even then they work isnt worth it.

But yeah if you want to make money be a doctor. If you want to do well and be creative I'd still recommend design though.

something else to know, archtects and other designers love to self-flaggelate about how hard what they do is and how you shouldn't do it. They're insinuating they're better than you because they can and do practice it. I would always be cautious of people who consider themselves martyrs.

these guys are building new eichlers based on his old midcentury floor plans. originally you could move into one of these houses the 1950s for $700. approximately $8000 in today's dollars.

i have my eyes set on a muji hut, honestly. or something like it. 30k or so. of course buying land to put it on, having a foundation put down, plumbing/sewer/water/electrical hookups, and code will probably bring that cost up to 130k easy. still feels more within reach than anything in my area though.

i like the idea of having a few of these in different locations that i can use as vacation homes and rent out when i'm not there.

but then i'd also like to live in an urban high-rise, at least 30-40 stories up.

or maybe i don't actually want to own anything, i just want to stay in hotels and apartments and cabins and travel the world, switching cities/countries every 3 months.

The California/Texas aesthetic for new home construction these days, as it has been for 20 years, is literally the mcmansion. There may be small regional differences, but they're mostly the same.

I wish they had stuck to the art deco style with ridiculous quotes carved into the walls style that all the buildings on campus from the 30s to 50s have. Too bad they didn't really have the budget at the time to make them super over-the-top like art deco is supposed to be. There's so many horrible ugly concrete buildings shitting up the campus instead. The new glass and steel style is at least better even if all the new buildings look exactly the same in a bad way.

Pic related.
I live in the Med so it's not out of style.

Only problem is, this is the back of the hill. The front side has views to the sea, which is near by.

My roommate is an architecture major (RPI). It's a lot of work, he frequently pulls all nighters and on multiple occasions works multiple days with single digit hours of sleep. That being said, he loves architecture and finds it really rewarding, so for him it's worth it. The architecture market is not an expanding one, however, so networking is very very important during your undergrad.

You are all uneducated and out of your league.

I'm interested in learning about architectural theory and history. What would be a good book to start with?

I just want a 1500-2000 sqft open floor plan ranch house with floor-to-ceiling glass on the south facing wall (or north facing wall if on the southern hemisphere). maybe a cantilevered deck on the south face also, with a car port on one side and the master suite on the opposite side of the house as the car port. preferably steel construction also so there's no need for vertical support beams on the interior

I went to an arch school (didn't major in architecture though, I did industrial design) and man it was the same thing for me. Not all, but a lot of the teachers were such pretentious modernist faggots I couldn't stand it, even some of the arch students complained about it. The most annoying part was that a lot of the architects held themselves as better than the industrial designers and basically thought if they could do arch they could do ID too. They actually tried to do ID projects in the arch studios sometimes and it was always super low level garbage like faceted flower vases and wood slat chiars, as if no one's seen that 1000 times.

Yeah, it's not like words have commonly accepted meanings or anything. It's not like "modern" means "shit that's happening right now" or anything.

>>11885629
He was being a pretentious twat but he's not wrong. Modernism gets shortened to modern all the time and when talking about things that are happening right now contemporary is the correct term. If someone is talking about modern architecture it's pretty easy to assume they mean Modernist since Modernism was such a distinct and influential movement.

Ugh… why are north americans so shit at building houses?

All those shitty, cheap cardboard houses in suburban hell. And the "better" parts of town are just as bad. Same shitty cardboard houses, now only with more outside lights, more fake stone walls and more different roof and window styles in one building. Fuckin McMansions. How can anyone like that shit? Its horryble quality and even worse taste.

Us euros also have (and continue to) build some ugly shit, but at least you cant simply break into a house by kickin in the door.

I'd love to have some modes sized, modern and practical house, but urbanization (not suburbanization, that is just the worst idea ever) is probably the future. So, a flat it is. I really love my small and comfy 2 room appartment in a historic building, right in the middle of the city.

>tfw nobody ever appreciates the comedy stylings of Postmodern architecture.

Honestly my favorite style of architecture, even if there is a lot of shitty stuff that falls into the same catagory.
Maybe it was the year of architecture classes I had to take where the professors sucked modernisms dick as if it was the be all end all, but something about Postmodernism's intentional silliness is endlessly entertaining to me.
Strictly modernist buildings are super uninspiring after you've seen like ten of them, I also hate the totalitarian aspects of the whole philosophy (not to imply that postmodern philosophy is good, I just like the architecture and design).

I just want a house with some FUCKING MASSIVE DORMERS.
Something like this but even bigger if possible. If that means the roof has to have some insane pitch I'm down for it.

I've got an idea where you have a box with highly pitched gable and a fucking huge dormer (maybe 2), and on the side of that dormer goes another dormer and you just keep on going with the dormers until it's basically impossible to add any more because they're getting too small. You could probably get about 6 or 7 levels deep before it became impractical.

Or I want a house that has a wall-like flat facade on the front that looks like a traditional American house, and then behind that is just a corrugated metal box. Like the facade is basically just a wall with a traditional house front on it.
Or I want a house that looks exactly like a fast food restaurant from the outside, like those old red roofed McDonald's with the big indoor play place.

>>11889504
Something like this but it would obviously look more like a traditional house with a gabled roof and everything. I'd want the little diagonal support beams to be visible too and the whole facade would be slightly wider than the box behind it.

Oh I just got another idea for a house. So basically it's a 2 story house that looks like a one story house sitting on a giant plinth. So the first story is a big white box with no windows or doors on the front, and the second story is just a little traditional one story, like a typical suburb house from the mid 60's. The 2nd story would be smaller than the 1st story by around 3 feet on every side to really give the feeling of a house on a plinth.

>Rem Koolhass, Frank Gehry, Peter Eisenman and others are deliberately designing these disastrous, anxiety-inducing mothership UFOs in order to mystify people into thinking they’re supernaturally brilliant. And then we’re stuck with these Gillette Blue Blade-clad fun houses for decades.

I like Victorian homes a lot though the ones that look like the Carson House give me anxiety.

Does that house have horizontal heaters and AC units to keep it comfy? Or is it more of a spring/fall sun room?

I've had a house idea for awhile and was wondering if someone wanted to chime in: want a walk-in freezer....thought it'd be cool and functional
been thinking about it for like 4 years
