Architecture

Am I the only person here who is interested in architecture? You know, cool houses and stuff? I use Minecraft to build houses from my imagination alot, and there is some really cool houses in the world.

Near my middle school, there's a house that's ASIAN STYLE! I love Asian style houses so much, and it's so awesome.

Anyways, my uncle is getting his own house soon and I visited the construction site all the way in Cali (go there for a bit of the summer some years, but always go for Christmas) and its modern, but has that California style. There is a really cool rooftop, with a little box where you can open up a can of Coke on a Saturday night and watch stars. Also there's a really cool pool that's pretty deep.

Discuss cool houses and architecture!

Re: Architecture

I like architecture but I really dislike a lot of popular modern architecture like Frank Gehry. I'm OK with modern art because even if it's terrible it just wastes space, but if an architect makes a building that sacrifices safety or something for looking neat, it could actually kill people or at least be stupid. Once Gehry designed an orchestra hall for Disney and it had a wavy metal roof that looked amazing. The thing was, the inside had terrible acoustics because of the wooden floors and the roof reflected the sun and got to ridiculous temperatures.

I don't pay attention to architects, but I like a ton of cool houses.

Re: Architecture

Around here there aren't a lot of interesting houses :\ Mostly they're the same thing but with different colors.

also you don't need to quote something if it's the only other post in a thread.

Re: Architecture

I'm taking a *green* architecture course at school. Basically architecture, green technology, and how to integrate them.

Re: Architecture

I sort of like architecture. It's cool and I want to be an architect and author when i grow up. (hopefully author will be earlier, I'm thirteen though...)
I also use Minecraft for building but I have it on the iPhone, not PC. I used to play it with my sisters a lot but now I hate playing with them. Well, one of them.

The other day I was playing with her and night was falling so i started building a nice brick house to spend the night in. After I'm done I stand inside for like five seconds when I realize that she's pushed me into a corner. Panicking I run for the door and out into the darkness. I run off to a winterwonderland with my sis one my tail. Zombies pop out of the shadows in every direction and i know i'm doomed. After a while of chasing me she leaves and I feel safe. I go and try to build a house on a brick pole but when she can't get back home my sis comes back to find me. She walks all over the Minecraft world, hunting me down. When she finally finds me she ambushes me and murders Stevie. I go back to the spawning point and go AWAY from my building site. I decide to build a house underwater, (possible if you know how to do it) hoping against hope that she wouldn't happen to take a swim in the same lake as my house. But while I'm still building it, who should happen upon me other than my sister, the master assassin. My back is turned and she sneaks up on me. Then, suddenly, she shouts a war cry, (in real life and we're sitting close by so the phones' connection doesn't fail so it startles me) next thing i know i'm back at the spawning point. she's moved on and I continue working on my house. But unfortunately, nigfht has fallen again and when i get to my house it's flooded with zombies.
THE END, or so I had hoped....


Where can I find the best book ever?
