@aaron_lubeck @carywesterbeck That's not the School of Architecture, that building is part of the College of Design though. The architecture studios are in a modern building with a lovely outdoor courtyard

@JoshJArchitect @aaron_lubeck Beautiful Hayes Hall, originally built in 1893. Long before Gropius’ Bauhaus style infected the world.
blue state housing bill: if a project is 25% deed-restricted, built with 20% pricier labor, and LEED platinum and a city blows past a six month permitting shot clock, you may launch a quixotic lawsuit red state housing bill: if they don't issue a permit in 14 days just build

The "School of Architecture" is ALWAYS the ugliest building on campus.
@aaron_lubeck @JMGregorchuk @jasoncoxnc Poor people reside in apartments ergo, apartments are residential.
@carywesterbeck @aaron_lubeck The UW campus is just spectacular. Exactly what a university should look like in my mind.
@niqnikos @aaron_lubeck It is! The exterior is unremarkable, but the interior is fantastic.
@aaron_lubeck The guy with the MFA in creative writing is always the worst over-writer in every newsroom.
@aaron_lubeck UT Austin might have one of the most beautiful university buildings let alone architecture buildings in the world. But @CharlestonArchi or maybe even @wrathofgnon would know of a more lovely building. I am biased. The walls are 2’ thick limestone blocks.
@aaron_lubeck My school, University of WA, Architecture Hall. One of the first campus buildings.
We received our building permit on Houston’s first triplex (duplex + ADU) under their new ordinance Here’s how I analyzed it: For context, anything more than 2 units previously was automatically treated as commerical which meant it was cost prohibitive - full civil plans…
