Arbitrary?

But this ranking  of the best architectural schools of the United States is necessarily arbitrary because it includes many criteria. Indeed, for a student living in New York, a nearby school but less prestigious will be preferable to a school in Los Angeles more prestigious. The criterion of employability can also be considered essential. Leaving a school with a degree is not enough. You have to be able to find an interesting and well paid job. But it also depends on the reputation of the school, for example internationally. To make a big project in Asia or Europe, we will rely on the reputation of the school in addition to the CV of the candidate.

Important criterion

Finally, the most important criterion is the following: whatever the level of school, it is the motivation of the student that is important. Being first in school, even if it’s average, will sometimes be better than being the last of a prestigious school.

We will return regularly to this post to modify it and take into account the evolution of the reputation of these schools.

Sadly, two designers died in February 2019. Of course, we all know Karl Lagerfeld, Chanel’s famous fashion designer. But who knows Italian architect and designer Alessandro Mendini? He is known for having designed the Groninger Museum and the Proust Armchair.

Home building designs with good home plans, house plans or floor plans

Home building designs have become increasingly important. The architects’ efforts to find a solution to the difficulties of our time are there to testify.

Take climate change as an example. Many experts predict that the climate will change, that the melting of glaciers will raise the level of the seas and oceans, and that storms and hurricanes will become more and more powerful resulting in larger rain events. A British project plans to build floating houses to overcome this difficulty:

A second project plans to build a simple structure including a canoe and kayaks, with a container containing all the material. The whole is raised so as not to be damaged by the soil and the water:

Finally, a modular housing system makes it possible to store equipment to allow people to live, like refugees. This system was initially planned to find a housing solution in the event of an earthquake but it could quite be adapted in case of global warming:

Want to create your own surviving housing system in case of climate or other problem? So, start by making a plan on an online software like archiplain, then build a propotype that you install in your garden. And finally, take a week of vacation and vice versa to perfect autonomy in your home. Last point: write down all the problems you encounter, they will help you improve your home.

Today we are in the recycling age. Everyone wants to have a little idea about recycling: we reuse plastic bottles to make sweaters, we use car tires to make insulation, organic materials to make compost. But we had not thought about shoes.
And yet, there are many used shoes in the world.
Here is the solution: make flowerpots!

You’re fed up with classic cars? Porsche, Ferrari, Rolls Royce? Want a car that really comes out of the ordinary? I have the solution for you.
Try this prototype car. This car can be rented via an application. Everything is almost entirely transparent, even the control box.
You will find a storage space at the front, like a drawer in a chest of drawers.
Some think that these cars represent the future. Why not ! In any case, the design is interesting and the transparent appearance allows to be indoors and outdoors at the same time. I hope technology has provided air conditioning when there is a lot of sunshine …

The 1000 Knowledge Library

There are people who prefer to borrow books, and others who prefer to buy them. In the latter case, it may be a need to keep books for later reading. It can also be a collector who loves old books. Finally, it can be a municipal library that needs to have a large stock of books. Here, the solution was found: very high walls and book shelves up to the ceiling. The result is quite aesthetic.

Windows are often very classic. And it is going to the South found a little more special windows, simply because you need protection from the sun.

We have perforated shutters that allow you to filter the daylight, wooden slats on the walls, and plants in wooden boxes.

We must first have a project of purchase or house construction. We will not see the house plan in the same way if we had built, and in this case it is conceivable size and number of rooms as desired, or if you buy an existing home, and this case the rooms are already existing. But in any case, we need to have an intelligent software to make all possible plans, such as https://archiplain.com/makeyourplan. The ease of use of this software is critical, because home buyers do not like to waste time with the explanatory notes, and they like precision. Finally, this software should be able to give in meters or feet dimensions to satisfy all users.
