    Im excited to trick out a basement workshop in 4 months

    I've got a band saw, circular saw, jig saw, mitre saw, table saw, planer, drill press, wood lathe, grinder, and a dremel with a plunge router attachment

    Next up I'm looking into a better router and maybe a radial saw

    Definitely need a better work bench

    My exact first thought as well. That house is one giant bug trap (though it does look cute)

    From the 1950s to the 1980s, Paris was booming. Foreign migration and urbanisation of the city caused a huge surge in population and a crisis for housing. France’s solution came in the form of vast housing projects and so during this period massive, modernist and really quite unique estates sprung up across the city — aiming for a new way of living.

    Just a few decades later and these towering buildings look dated, discarded and forgotten. Often stigmatised by the media, they divide opinion in France and have been left mostly occupied by the ageing community of ‘urban veterans’ who first made it their home, as the younger generation are drawn to more contemporary city living.

    Local photographer Laurent Kronental has become fascinated by the ‘ambitious and dated modernist features’ of these estates, known locally as ‘Grands Ensembles’. Since 2011 he has developed ‘Souvenir d’un Futur’, a series of stunning photographs documenting these neglected communities and capturing what he calls ‘the poetry of ageing environments’.

    I am probably late to this party but I just discovered Kate Wagner's delightful McMansion Hell.

    I like the ones with the giant round tops, they kind of look like those 25cent binoculars that you see in national parks.

    I'm more impressed that that balcony is functional. More often than not when I see that on a building it's inaccessible.

    those false balconies are called juliets or balconets

    I don't much care for them

  • chromdomchromdom Who? Where?Registered User regular
    I started liking juiliets better when I realized they were just guard rails for big open windows. The... protruding? is just an architectural artifact I (and presumably Xaquin) can live without.

  • XaquinXaquin Right behind you!Registered User regular
    My firm did a fire station with a bunch of them

    They were originally actual balconies, but the budget went down and they were pretty quickly turned into juliets

    We also lost the super cool green roof portion

    When Spanish architect Ricardo Bofill stumbled upon an abandoned cement factory in 1973, he saw opportunity in the ruins. Bofill bought the early twentieth-century compound and, together with local Catalan craftsmen, transformed the sprawling structure of silos and compounds into an incredible fairytale home that blends surrealism, brutalism, and modernism.

    As far back as the 18th century, people have been fascinated with ruins as picturesque compositions, but our collective obsession with the shells of forgotten architecture is not limited to quaint abbeys, run-down warehouses, and rural cottages.

    In the town of Fregene on the outskirts of Rome, Italy, photographer and urban explorer Oliver Astrologo has been documenting a very different kind of deteriorated building: architect Giuseppe Perugini’s Casa Sperimentale (experimental house), a wild, eclectic ode to Brutalism that is slowly crumbling away on a wooded plot near the coast.

    like I'm not even saying that as a diss against brutalism, I genuinely think the graffiti adds an interesting element to the aesthetic

    The very edge of a city: Mexico City's deepest hinterlands – in pictures

    The triangular neighbourhood at the back of the picture – another hillside site with few entrace points – is one of Greater Mexico City’s most dangerous neighbourhoods, La Presa in Ecatepec.

    The city centre seen from La Caldera volcano in La Paz. The bright lights are the headlights of cars driving back to the city’s poorer eastern periphery as they come back from work in central parts of the megalopolis.

    Self-built stairs – such as these in Ecatepec – are one of the most successful adaptations made by communities in hilly neighbourhoods.

    I'm like two months late to the depressing American mall talk but a few years ago one of my city's older malls closed up and I was waiting for my wife one day, for...I don't remember why.

    Anyway, I decided to kill some time walking around the empty mall and maybe eat at the food court. I was just about to leave when I passed the greatest store I'd ever seen. It was an old art gallery selling paintings and posters and the like. The sign said "Going out of business. Art for sale." It was a professionally made sign.

    Below it, in hastily scrawled letters on a white banner, was "Also Scooters." Sure enough, there were about two dozen moped scooters just like chilling in the art gallery ready to be sold.

    I'm not sure if two stores combined to save rental costs or if the art gallery owner decided to branch out and it failed and he was trying to liquidate or what.
