The Arcadian School is for you.

I've met many enthusiasts and practitioners of good building that desire to be part of a larger network. We need a place to connect, inspire, and exchange best practices and technology. This is the place.

Welcome to The Arcadian School.

@aaron_lubeck @jasonc_nc Menacing statement @aaron_lubeck.

Not a miracle. A planning choice.

Utrecht, 1982 → 2020.

The same street tells a 40-year story: fewer hard edges, more trees, safer walking, better cycling, and public transport still at the center.

Urban change doesn’t always need a landmark.
Sometimes it looks like shade, space, and a street people actually want to use.

Keeping the whole section in compression basically eliminates the internal tensions that would otherwise arise from bending moments. I can imagine the behavior you're describing here. Great work!

If I can cross examine: what advantages (structural or architectural) are we trying to achieve with this system?

Relative to alternatives, does it currently achieve those advantages? If not, is the hope that it will in the future?

@trevoracorn Important information.

Friends, I think we may have forgotten our roots. Grab your scale and compass. Time to reclaim them.

I finally made it to the Great American State Fair. The columns on this fake building are something to behold.

@jihadwatchRS For those concerned: Consider the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham.

Or just google "Personal Ordinariate near me".

@steppedenizen @CSandbatch If I can make a content request: deep dive on algiers point would be very cool.

There is some awesome architecture out there. I barely knew it existed till I was in my 20s.

@EvidenceOfFaith Bro this is the biggest L take possible. Youve proved you know nothing have done no research. Brutal.

Peace be to you.

[The Vitruvian @VitruDesign]

@SlimWiggy Well then?

Notre Dame is rebuilt, Sagrada Família is finished, now the Vatican should raise money to build a new basilica somewhere in Western Europe and host an architectural competition to design it:

@mamboitaliano__ Its time to give these installations a taste of destructive "performance art".

[The Vitruvian @VitruDesign]

MoonCity One? Might a future city on the moon look like Cornwall? My tribute to @tomough & @aeronlaffere ....
