Gerlinger Hall, south elevation (all photos by me). This is the next in my Eugene/Architecture/Alphabet series of blog posts, the focus of each being a landmark building here in Eugene. Many of these will be familiar to most who live here but there are likely to be a few buildings that are less so. My selection criteria for each will be threefold: The building must be of architectural interest, local importance, or historically significant.

Historically, brick has been the preferred material for a wide variety of habitable spaces. Famous for providing the basics such as enclosure to the advanced feature of protection to the building framework, bricks have been steadfast and unwavering. Brick offers an economical and aesthetical answer in terms of texture, color, and durability. The use of brick as a primary construction material can be seen all around the world.

Right out of the gate I’m going to say that you have to craft your own particular description of what work-life balance means in order to achieve it. It has been incredibly interesting to see how the emails and questions relating specifically to this topic have exponentially increased over the last 4 years, and I am at a loss as to why they are specifically coming in now.

Too much working. Not enough blogging. But last week I found the time to paint a small canvas. So far, my paintings are all based on photographs that I have taken over the past decade or so. They deal with places that have caught my imagination: human settlements in different parts of the world. The process of painting runs in parallel to digital work that I also share on this blog, with Revit as the primary tool for figuring things out.

Stephen Drew. Some people take a long and winding route to realize that architecture is the field for them. Stephen Drew is not one of them. He always knew that he wanted to be an architect. He did temporarily entertain the idea of becoming a doctor, but his love for drawing and designing won out. Even his friends always assumed that he would become an architect. .

Photo-voltaic modules (otherwise known as solar panels) have been around for a while, allowing us to use sunlight as a source of energy. The issue with solar panels is that they need sufficient space on rooftops or on the ground to produce enough energy for them to be worth it, space that is limited in big cities. In recent years, companies have been working on a solution to this problem: solar glass (often referred to as “solar windows”), which can turn windows into power-generating panels.

An ADU is an additional living unit with kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping facilities in addition to those of a main residence. It may be physically attached or detached from the primary residence. Also known variously as “granny units”, “second units”, or “carriage houses”, ADU’s provide opportunity to use what may be surplus space on a residential lot to house in-laws or relatives, or to provide supplementary income to make one’s mortgage more affordable.

Eighty-six of the world’s tallest 100 buildings have been constructed since 2001, the year that terrorists crashed two jets into the World Trade Center towers in New York. In fact, 84% of all buildings 200 meters (656.2 ft) or taller have been constructed over the last 20 years, including the 1,776-ft-tall One World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan, according to the Council of Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, which has released a white paper on the global impact of 9/11 on tall buildings.

Stand-out steeple When it comes to skylines in small towns, it’s often a church that dominate the scene, not necessarily a large industrial building like the flour mill in my previous post. But here in St Neots, where I noticed that flour mill, is a fine Victorian church tower that makes another notable contribution to the skyline. Like the mill, it’s also (mainly) in brick, and it turns out to be the work of the same architect, Edward Jabez Paine (1847–1926).

Sustainability begins with a conversation, and acquiring customer buy-in is entirely dependent on how the conversation is framed. Clients may not see sustainability as a priority out of fear of operational costs and quality. While these are legitimate concerns, it is our responsibility as architects to listen and foster a collaborative culture that answers client issues while also reducing our carbon footprint.

Architecture only exists in humanity. Burrows, hives, nests and anthills are creations of instinct, not design, despite their exquisite beauty. Humanity is distinct from all other life on earth because, for us, instinct is inadequate. So it is with architecture. Outcomes in architecture are twofold. First, like the designs of instinct, any building must protect those who use it – the construction must resist gravity, shield against weather, fit its site and be buildable, or it fails at its Prime
