Unknown, NC - Thursday Design Appreciation
  • No, you’re correct, it’s continuing the rhythm across the facade. I guess what I’m saying is a) the little hip roof looks incredibly weak with that column and nothing else around it and more importantly b) the entire structure is superfluous and as far as I can tell, only serves the purpose of making the house appear larger than it is.

    Edit: I can’t tell from this shot, but perhaps there is enough depth to it that it actually does function as a port cochere. If so, I still feel the same way, it looks bad.

    Spouse can drop spouse off on a rainy night before parking in the garage. He/she can then enter that weird door (that should’ve been on the side) which seems better than trying to figure out how to get in the barricaded main entry.

  • Really dislike almost everything about this house. Clearly FLW inspired but so many problems with materials, massing, proportions, etc.

    Just to pick a few things as examples:

    1. The port cochere entry thing makes no sense and the roof structure is too wimpy for the massive column supporting it.

    2. The front door/porch could’ve been strong, defined and welcoming. They chose to wall it off instead. If there are sidewalks coming from the sides, they’re invisible in this shot. This says stay away.

    3. That balcony above the front entry is awful. It’s a solid wall that detracts aesthetically and functionally defeats the purpose of swinging those doors open for fresh air, light, and views.

  • Downtown Denver office vacancy tops 30% for first time in decades
  • Yes, the American experiment with segregated uses continues to fail. The solutions have existed for millennia.

    The sooner we accept this and move on, the sooner our cities can be the vibrant, healthy places they could’ve been a long time ago.

    The Fifty Fathoms!

    I don’t expect it to be as popular as the Moonswatch, but I think it looks great. Definitely didn’t see this one coming.

    Lemmy sucks but a return to Reddit isn’t the solution

    I don’t give a shit about a platform. I come from the phbb days when you sought out your communities and eventually landed with a bunch of likeminded people.

    I ditched Reddit because I will not support their greedy race to the bottom. I won’t “just check the sub I’m in to occasionally” I’m done with it.

    The only content I’m remotely interested in here in the fediverse is news related. And it’s boring as fuck. I didn’t go to Reddit for Reddit or news. I went there for the specific things I’m in to. Real shit, not memes.

    I’m not going back there. And I can only yell at a wall here for so long.

    Damn, the ads…

    Haven’t touched Reddit since 7/1 but decided to go back and unsubscribe from every sub today. Figure even if I’m not an active user, I’m also now not a number they can point to as success.

    But holy shit, the ads I had to see. They’re bigger and more more blatant than I remember. I can only assume that they throw them right at the top of every feed to get that view before you leave.

    Fuck Reddit.
