I find the idea of a house so blatantly unlivablr you're not supposed to put anyone in just plain ridiculous. It's like art no one is supposed to look at...which I'm sure exists.

Any time we see stairs without a railing a bunch of you turn into bitchy old grammas screaching "DEATHTRAP!" Ate you too fat or shaky to navigate stairs unassisted?

It's not just stairs, there are no railings anywhere. It's a massive safety hazard, if you live there long enough something is guaranteed to go wrong.

No, its just that when you need to go down the stairs at 2:00 AM and you are really loving tired and it is pitch-black in your house, and the assholes who built the house didn't put any light switches between your room and the stairs, you tend to want the damned railings there because you can't see where the steps are. The railings are also nice when you have to move very large objects up the stairs. They're also good for keeping stupid loving kids from falling over the side of the stairs. Also, when you have a stairwell that goes up 3 floors, it would probably be wise to make it so there is something keeping you from falling down the pit in the center.

Here's a video of a house of a Japanese couple with cats. There are some elements of the architecture that I find interesting like breaking up the hard boundary of inside and outside without giving up privacy, but lol its a high-concept deathtrap. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgEfY4ZB8YY

It's not like handrails are some sort of nanny-state contrived horseshit. They've been around since ancient times because even non-fat, non-shaky people often slip and fall on stairs.

Cantilever stairs are cool as gently caress, but I wonder if they wear out over time and start to tilt.

My favourite part of this design is where you have to climb up and down ladders every time you move more than 8 feet.

Living in a place like that has to be great, until you get the flu. Or break your foot and come home and can't climb a ladder into bed.

They were supported by iron I-beams on one side, so they were not exactly cantilever - but holy hell was it creepy walking up the stairs that were worn down a full inch near the railing side (where people tend to walk the most) and don't even get me started on wooden beam stairs from 1910s.

That architect's early work was a little too modernist for my tastes, but when he did that library in '83, I think he really came into his own, commercially and artistically. The whole building has a clear, crisp facade, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the structural design elements a big boost. He's been compared to Frank Gehry, but I think he has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

I flipped through the thread, hopefully I'm not reposting. Ranier Tower in Seattle. I had to work in this place and I'm scared as poo poo of heights. The money was really good, so that helped.   You can feel it sway in a high wind, and when it does it creaks like an old battleship. I've seen the structural engineering diagrams of the building, and it's bottom-heavy as all hell, but that doesn't really help much when you're sitting at your desk and you can feel the building rock back and forth.
