quote:Dr. Joseph Waeckerle, former chief of Kansas City's emergency medical system, directed the rescue effort [2] establishing a makeshift morgue in a ground floor exhibition area,[10] using the hotel's taxicab driveway as a triage area and helping to organize the wounded by greatest need for medical care.[11] Those people who could walk were instructed to leave the hotel to simplify the rescue effort; those mortally injured were told they were going to die and given morphine.[7][dead link][12] Often, rescuers had to dismember bodies in order to reach survivors among the wreckage.[7] One victim's right leg was trapped under an I-beam and had to be amputated by a surgeon, a task which was completed with a chain saw.[13] holy gently caress

Popular Thug Drink posted:i'd love to live in a plate glass house with no curtains up on a great big hill where everyone can see it in a town with the most intrusive photographers per capita in the world okay, so it's just the glass walls. that might be arguably an aesthetically undesirable rather than impractical house. maybe a celebrity doesn't want to live there, but there might be plenty of people for whom ultimate visibility strokes their ego in just the right way. it's great for porno shoots, i bet. you could be renting it out constantly and going on vacation. it also wasn't clear from the photo whether or not the entire house was glass-walled, so i was curious if that was what the person was calling impractical or if there was something else about its design.

it does exactly what it was designed to do. that's not really how the word "problematic" is used. troubling? perhaps. revealing? definitely. problematic? not really. systems of oppression have all sorts of problematic aspects deserving of inquiry, investigation, and critique, but that they are systems of oppression is not really one of those aspects (unless you are trying to decide what is and isn't a system of oppression).

fyodor posted:all the case study houses have aspects that are not very practical and a lot of other elements that are pretty forward-thinking. they used off-the-shelf materials to make otherworldly designs by some of the best designers and architects of the 20th century. guess i'm not surprised, it's their job to take risks. some of those end up huge loving mistakes, not for a lack of trying; and some of those end up big innovations.

teenytinymouse posted:That's boring but not particularly offensive imo. this is the new style of the past 10 years. it's a shame because there's real potential in some of its gestures, but i have never seen them executed quite correctly. tons of buildings in philadelphia are like this: residential, commercial, and university-affiliated, and none of them have quite done it right. there's only one i can think of that's kinda cool looking. i have a particular beef with this in philly because it's so popular to "mix" the new textures with old-school brick (lots and lots of older houses in certain parts of philly are a certain style of brick), it's a way of... how to say... camoflauging the new buildings, and making them "pay tribute" to the more traditional buildings... but it's a complete disaster. i'm just so annoyed by it. if you're going to build new, build new, especially in a case like this where the new materials are so radically at odds with the old ones. yeah, there are ways of building new that pay homage to the old (see the hilarious giant fishing shacks) but in this case it's just a totally wrong decision. nomadologique fucked around with this message at 18:28 on Feb 20, 2015 |

Applewhite posted:I'll admit that I'm not really in the loop when it comes to the architecture scene, but are there even any visionary architects for this generation? The most recent architect who was a household name was Frank Lloyd Wright as far as I know. And the biggest guy before him was Albert Speer. more recent was i.m. pei. other than that i dunno. architecture students could tell you.

teenytinymouse posted:That building is much less than 10 years old. We have a very strong brick terrace vernacular in the area that yeah, is hard to blend into or work with so it's not the modernity I have a problem with its just the fact that it's loving ugly as poo poo and has no windows. no i know, most of these buildings are at most 2 years old, but you can find forerunners of the style going back about 10 years.

i'm okay with the one in the middle. but it looks like he designs buildings for very flat open places? like maybe the american midwest? maybe his buildings are designed to comment on and reinforce all that vast and horrific emptiness.
