Architecture and interior design thread

Thanks :-) And in your experience, is the support from AutoCAD themselves adequate?

I have never used the support service of the re-seller myself, but I am worried that by cutting out the middleman I might leave my colleagues stranded should anything happen.

Email the reseller and ask for reasons to stick with them. Hopefully they’ll have a few, if not, you’ve got your answer :)

Early days extension work.. must not forget 45 deg rights of light rule for neighbour and their shitfest of an extension

I'm sure I remember hearing somewhere that the Romans used a difference step spacing for public places that was easier to walk up.

Does that ring a bell to anyone?

Not for anything specific really just interested and procrastinating.

Curious about this too. Ever since walking a staircase with silly high steps I've started to notice the differences. Feels like it's need an episode on 99 percent invisible

Sort of similar...Crystal Palace station has really shallow steps apparently to allow for ladies in their finery visiting the Palace when it was moved there.

Yes, it's in Vitruvius:

Rules of thumb for determining satisfactory rise/run ratios have existed at least since Classical times. In De Architectura, Vitruvius suggests a unit rise of between 9 and 10 inches, and a unit run between 18 and 24 inches. To modern tastes, this proportion would create a very stately stair. Sir Henry Wooten (1568–1639) suggested that the unit rise not exceed 6 inches and that the unit run be between 1 and 1½ feet. Both authors, however, are describing public buildings or grand houses.

Cheers.

In general stair chat. Inca steps are insanely tall, although I've forgotten the reason.

Better bounce when you kick your slaves down?

Big slinkys

I don't know if there's a general reason, but I'd assume it must be determined by the gradients to be conquered. Andean hillsides can be rather steep.

Current UK standards on stair dimensions are in Approved Document Part K and some more guidance in Part M. Stairs in homes can be steeper than in public/workplace.

Pfft, I bet those don't have anything on 12-cornered dry ashlar masonry. :)

Holy shit that looks good, yours? Jelly...

edit: would recommend triple sliding doors so you can put two across one and have a larger open door area.

It's been a while now. What was the outcome of this?

Too soon to tell. ACAN and TTF got a decent crowd of responses, we'll see if it has any impact.

The first render of the city of the future on mars shows a 40 year old petrol car design.

Hey @chrisbmx116 I wish this was my scheme. But the architect i do know is well established now 10 years on setting up his practice has a few designers working for him too. I also know the visualiser another ex colleague.

lovely house

If someone gets that right (probably very easy not to), that will be a stunning house.

What a house. Doesn’t seem to be needing more work than a proper tidy up and some gentle renovations. Bet some fucker will ‘modernise’ it
