They also had a 'senior project' that was a single research paper with a presentation and they stretched it out over two loving years. I could do that poo poo in less than an hour today but then, they were like, "This week you're going to put together 50 index cards with facts on them according to a poorly described organizational system." "But teacher," the student said, "We're in the 200s. Why can't we use computers?" "Don't ask unnecessary question," she replied; a gentle threat.

Speaking of windowly-challeneged schools... Mine's one. It was built in the mid 1970s. For the first 22 years of my career I was in the main building, first in room 109, then down the hall a bit in 107. 109 had an outside wall, but no exterior window. The only window in the entire classroom was a 10 inch by 10 inch window in the door, set high enough that the bottom of the window was right at my nose level. I'm exactly average height for a man, so I wonder how much good it did for shorter people. Room 107 was a completely interior room, so the lack of exterior windows is to be expected. Again, it had the same 10 X 10 window. My current classroom is in the other permanent building, the 300 wing. My classroom has an exterior window! It is exactly 18 inches wide and 48 inches tall. It has two bars that run vertically, just outside the glass, giving it the look of a prison. However, I can open my door to the exterior and see trees, grass and wildlife (well, sparrows and crows picking at the breakfast and lunch leavings). So much better than seeing the inside of a hallway. But yeah, minimal windows.

My basic school(I think this is primary in the US) had been expanded various times and subsequently ended up being a near-random mass off classrooms and hallways. Highlights: to reach groups 1 and 3 you'd have to walk through either group 2 or the toilets. This construct also reduced the school yard on that side to a narrow strip along the edge of the school grounds. Group 4 is on the opposite side of the building and ended up with all it's windows facing the school yard getting blocked by another expansion, which also cut off another exit from the yard, resulting in another winding path between buildings in order to get where where you wanted to be when you walked out of the building. The group 4 expansion also ended up connecting the main building to a storage shed, resulting in a U shaped school yard(with aforementioned group 1&3 bottleneck at the bottom). Finally, group 4's expansion needed a new exit. This was routed through the storage shed. Even as a child I found it to be needlessly complicated and thinking back about it, it's the most  floorplan I've ever experienced.

Wait a loving minute, what would you do if you had a class at group 3 but you were not of the appropriate gender for the bathroom and there was already a class going on in group 2?

Thought I'd just drop this link here: http://www.sosbrutalism.orgquote:#SOSBrutalism is a growing database that currently contains over 700 Brutalist buildings. But, more importantly, it is a platform for a large campaign to save our beloved concrete monsters. The buildings in the database marked red are in particular jeopardy. This is an unprecedented initiative: #SOSBrutalism is open to everyone who wants to join the campaign to save Brutalist buildings! It's got a nice gallery with all sorts of concrete crazyness.

red19fire posted:These are loving rad, now i know what they're called. Yeah because building living spaces out of 8' by 8' by 20' (or 490') boxes is great... Especially since those are outside dimension, the inside is a bit smaller, and thats before you put in insulation. Also they're cheaply made as gently caress. They're a step above cardboard boxes but a very very tiny step.

Also, bringing shipping containers up to code and making a liveable area out of them usually ends up being more expensive than traditional methods. The only time this works is if you actually get them at scrap value.

Maybe shipping containers are good building material if you want protection against tornadoes or hand grenades.

A shipping container in a tornado would probably not fare as well as a trailer.

This is from the University of Texas at Dallas (they call it the "Love Jack") and I am not sure if it is still there as they have redone a lot of the campus. Prior to being part of the UT systems, it was a private 2 year graduate school started by Texas Instruments. TI had its start in the beginning of WW2 to help the war effort (it was previously Geophysical Services). So sorta related? SPACE HOMOS fucked around with this message at 16:58 on Nov 24, 2015 |
