MacTheRipper Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 That house is a piece of shit anyway, architecturally speaking. People forget that houses are like cars and if a $150,000 car costs $11,000,000 to fix, it's probably a bad design. Those cantilevers are solid concrete and are basically destroying the home. Plus it's built over a river, in a humid environment, which is kind of a bad idea if you dont want your structure to rot and smell like mildew. Even Frank would be embarrassed and want it demolished. the concrete is out of place, I disagree on the setting. I worked at Lucas arts in San Rafael, Gorge has many sound studios, theaters and offices mixed in that look like amazing homes in a similar setting. One in particular the brook house has a large stream running through a stone arch designed in to the foundation. Oh and....... about Frank........

Soup Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 No the concrete isnt out of place. It's literally tearing the house apart from the sheer weight of it. Unless you're one of those northbay twats who think architecture is just "art" that looks nice you wont give that house a second look. If you like it it's all yours. Enjoy living in the middle of bumfuck nowhere with hot humid summers and fridgid winters in a house that smells like mildew, is always too hot or too cold and will cost you millions of dollars a year to upkeep. It's a bad design. Get over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soup Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Cool bro, you made a building stand up with only 4 foot solid concrete walls. I keed. Virilio was a kook, but im all for Frenchies obsessed with existentialism and cultural theory. Post some GOOD architecture for a change. You people drive me crazy. http://architizer.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountain dew Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Yeah that house over the water "looks" cool but the design of it probably wouldn't last long at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Cool story bro you just said what i said to make yourself sound smart, except you wrote "wouldn't" instead of "hasn't" which makes me think you dont even know that you're talking about a building that's already been built... 70+ years ago.

Soup Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 You are a tit. Your comments on the structural integrity of the home are mindless.You are nothing more then a wedge. Uh, If you want to be ignorant that's something you gotta live with. Just like you think spraycan cartoon characters is graffiti, or think your moped is a motorcycle. For everyone else: Keep in mind that building cost $150,000 to build in 1937 (Approx $2m by today's standards) They spent $11 million in 2004 in TAXPAYERS DOLLARS to keep that building from collapsing because there is almost nothing holding those concrete cantilevers in place (Frank's fault and he knew it). You have any idea what you could do with 11 million dollars? You could build 5 more of those houses from nothing and engineer them properly. Those cantilevers were sagging on day one back in 1937 and the whole building has been slowly eroding since, requiring two major rebuilds in less than 70 years. There are immaculate ranch houses in California that cost 10 times less than the initial cost of that building and they're still around with no need for refurbishing for over a hundred years. People forget houses are like cars, planes, motorcycles or anything else: beauty is in the performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
