Stucco on wood sheathing (especially OSB) is risky business in climates with an annual rainfall of 20 inches or more. The best design/construction practice these days is to install a drainage mat between the stucco and the sheathing to relieve hydrostatic pressure on the sheathing and accommodate va...

As much as I hate the new alignment with the additional wye and portal, I think there is still potential for an interesting architectural/urban-design response to the problem. Rather than try to deal with left over "open" space around the portal and wye, DART and the city should court a pr...

I don't have any experience with this, but I interpret IBC 1004.8 to apply to the entire area in which cubicles are laid out. I think you could only make a case for using the lower 1:150 occupant load in designated portions of the space if it is actually subdivided with permanently fixed partitions ...

^^ The diagram is a 3d axonometric and what you are seeing at the top is the flat roof of the tower, not a sloping roof or additional height.

I'm guessing they're going to put up stick construction on top of this? Yep, per the rendering this appears to be a "5-over-2" (5 stories of wood over 2 stories of concrete podium), currently the most cost-effective way to construct a 7-story multi-family residential building, especially ...

Per a rough area measurement in Google maps, each floor is +/- 80,000sf, X 9 floors = 16.5 acres. That's about the area of the 6 blocks located between Ross & Bryan and St. Paul & Olive.

That theater looks stellar, hope that brings people into the area. I guess with the parking garage at Cinepolis it would create a easier spot to park and take advantage of the entertainment.

There are multiple causes of pvc/cpvc piping failures, mostly a result of installation, operational, engineering and/or product compatibility issues. I suspect in this case the "caulk" they are referring to is the wall penetration fire-stopping sealant. Improper application of the pipe/fit...

Anyone else suspect that they hired the Office of James Burnett (designer of Klyde Warren Park) to design the plaza? I was definitely thinking the same regarding the landscape arch. - it does seem to have familiar OJB cues. I don't know whether OJB is involved, but local landscape architecture firm...
