To give you a better idea of what they are...

They look great. I especially liked the first photo and the two pics demonstrating a practice exercise with escape ladder. You must feel very proud to have masterminded their construction, Plankton, and you clearly create a real niche for yourself if you designed 1000 of them.

I wish I'd created a niche for myself, telling architects how to design new buildings adjacent to old buildings. I could've flown to this city, for instance, to advise against this building, which seems to be playing a cruel joke on the older building underneath:-

Reminds me a bit of this.

^ Well that's two against one then as DWV liked it too.

^ This new plus old gets "not-too-bad" from me: it makes the old building look a bit like a museum exhibit, but perhaps the ruin was in danger of collapse anyway.



^ And talking of museums - Maidstone Museum, UK. I would've been happier with the modern infill if they'd just lowered it a bit so that the new roofline tucked in under the old gutter level.



^ At first glance I liked this juxtaposition of old and new, but now I have a complaint: why didn't they make the glazing bars of the new line up better with the horizontal and vertical lines of the old facade?

^ That's interesting, Mindfulness. Nice terrace and pool, but I didn't like the style of the interior: too much shiny opulance, and a living room suite that looks like an offshoot of space technology.

^ I don't know about you, but with a body like mine I don't have to be shy by the pool. Knowadahmsayin?

I just updated to AutoCad 2019 and it comes with AutoDesk ReCap and ReCap Photo, which has been around for a few years now. I've been living under a rock. Really cool ****. Most of the designs I do are from the ground up, but I really wanna play with this now and see what the benefits/limitations would be.

^ HaHa, very nice [MERIT] ! In fact, as a building material, Lego has a lot going for it: easy to clean, bright colours that never need repainting. That particular house is clearly a bit cramped, though its appearance would be improved if only Lego Man would park his car in the garage.

Buildings, they say, should look nice from a distance and invite you to get closer to explore them in detail. This building, called Innovation Curve, does that imo. It's in a tech park in Palo Alto:-





^ Looks to me like it's been repainted recently - the cost of that should be down to architect for not using Lego.
