RT @AustinTunnell@twitter.com: Topping out tower. With masonry: you can corbel out half the thickness of the masonry. For veneer, this is like ~1-3/4” (less w/ king). Not v much. But when you have a 12” wall? You can corbel out 6”. So you can get real depth; it opens up all kinds of detailing like here. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/89cb6ced42483f1c52f3a23cdd4d142682e897d8bf0536b351c85a29590e57d2.file
If you are building something new in a mature, established neighborhood, always build something that looks like it was there first. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/27089efdc9800840f3809cd993fcb783c57c9b0f47936ec6cdcf5f51789f9ff1.file

"A repository of miscreants" is a most beautiful phrase. I will try to use it from now on.

Wolfgang Braunfel's three rules of cities: 3. In every century, anyone who planned only for necessity did not even achieve what was necessary. Humanity had need of an emotional relationship to its dwelling places; it demanded aesthetic uplift, a creative culture that could lend more than polish to the everyday. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/0b51c48e32ee4ee2f9f8670f989263cdb13fe71c6fb3c760871301f025ac522c.file
"Europe is a continent of urban personalities. Wherever a human community sought to establish itself as best it might, there it established a town. Towns were the prerequisite for the existence of all the world's major cultures. Towns formed the field of experimentation out of which the main achievements of civilization have sprung. The versatility of urban individualities and their diversity, from Amsterdam to Rome, from St. Petersburg to Venice, from London to Vienna, are manifestations of uniquely successful creative activities." — Wolfgang Braunfels, 1976 https://hell.twtr.plus/media/6c9600e8514301dff1ff80668f4701864d4d4942ad1812ecf7aed67cecf22050.file

"If we are truly conservatives today, then we must want to revolt against this contemporary, anti-conservative world. Does anyone seriously believe that Burke would want to conserve what we have right now? Of course not."
