This video describes the basic idea and implementation or Architecture Decision Records, or "ADRs".  It describes the idea behind them to document design decisions with their context and alternatives considered. 

Some additional resources:
The hydrocoptic marzelvane, turboencabulator, sidefumbling and waneshaft are all inspired from The Turbo Encabulator (Youtube)The original article by Michael Nygard (which itself is an ADR!) can be found here: https://cognitect.com/blog/201....1/11/15/documenting- Although documenting decision is not a new practice, the template of Mr. Nygard has been very succesful in making this practice widespread.Some parts of the introduction (among which the pixelating image) were inspired by Michael Keelings talk at Saturn '17. If you found this video informative, youi'll also like (at least) the first 10 minutes of his talk (YouTube).For ADR templates and tooling, take a look at http://adr.github.io/ More info on passive / active voice can be found in the Technical Writing course from Google.

Delivered by Harlan Harris, Director, Data Science, EAB, at the inaugural New York R Conference in New York City at Work-Bench on Friday, April 24th, and Saturday, April 25th.

In this video I answer a viewer's question and describe the 5-step framework I use when making difficult decisions. Marcel from Wisconsin asks whether he should continue on with graduate school or get started building his design-build architecture business.

My framework for making difficult decisions consists of 5 essential questions. They are:

1 - Which choice best supports my definition of success?
2 - Which route provides the most optionality?
3 - Does choosing one option preclude exercising the other or others at a later date? (Linear progression - i.e. licensure or a parallel one - i.e. business)
4 - What is the opportunity cost? What do I give up by selecting one route over the other?
5 - Is this actually a false choice? Can I do both?

Although I initially dodged the question, I offer my honest opinion beginning at the 7:30 mark. What do you think, do you agree? Disagree? Let's help Marcel out by sharing your thoughts in the comments.

Have a question you'd like featured here? Send a short video to: eric@thirtbyforty.com and I'll add it to the queue.

In his talk, Adrian argues that the world we are designing lacks meaning and as a result, we’re unable to connect with the world around us. The buildings we enter every day are unable to evoke the emotions they once did. Adrian aims to shed light on this issue, so that once acknowledged, we can together rebuild the lost relationship between humans and architecture.

Think back to the last time you were completely immersed in an experience. Whatever the moment was, it managed to capture you. Buildings can operate in the same way, according to Adrian Bica. Over the course of his architectural education, he’s noticed that buildings have lost the emotional attraction that was once there. Now, in the last year of his Masters of Architecture, Adrian believes the relationship between people and architecture has diminished, and that the loss of intimacy has fueled a wave of stale and technological buildings. Buildings like the Colosseum are an example of structures that Adrian says invoke an emotional attachment. Instead of becoming technological tools in modern society, Adrian advocates the idea of how our overall attitude towards buildings can change our emotional experience with them. This change, says Adrian, is more obvious than we think.

This book brings together Kenneth Frampton's essays from the 1960s to today which epitomize his reflections on the historical–theoretical entanglements of architecture with place, the public realm, cultural identity, urban landscape and environment, and the political question of the “predicament” of architecture in the new Millennium. The essays explore Frampton's contention that architecture's imperative is to assume a significant responsibility for the edification and stewardship of the Arendtian 'public world.'

One of the most theoretically sophisticated and politically committed architectural thinkers, Frampton's work breaks emphatically with the limits and norms of much contemporary practice and restores a sense of richness and social consequence of architecture's 'unfinished project,' while offering abiding lessons not only for architecture but for social, cultural, and design criticism alike.

We are delighted to welcome Kenneth Frampton alongside the editor Miodrag Mitrasinovic and Clive Dilnot to the AA Lecture Hall to celebrate the launch of this new publication.

Climate change and energy scarcity are both inhuman problems. These issues are monoliths, transcending cultures and generations, and it’s unclear what decisions need to be made today in order to combat them. Student architect Davis Richardson wants the structures we build to be just as dynamic, vast, and elaborate as the problems we face. By putting ourselves in situations that are sustainable and shockingly different from the status quo, we can inspire a new wave of environmentalism and challenge humanity’s obstacles into the future.

Thanking Driss Elmeloud (@iamdriss) for the opening gears animation reel. Davis is a Bartlett Cocke Scholar and M.Arch I Candidate at UT Austin's School of Architecture (UTSOA). He is also the Editor for Essays and Interviews for ISSUE, UTSOA's student publication of the best projects of the year, and a designer at THOUGHTBARN, an architecture studio in Austin. His writing has been featured in PLAT, an architecture journal from Rice University, on CritDay, an architecture-student feed, and more; he's spoken at events on architecture, affordable housing, and sustainability, including SXSW, Mensa, and the American Institute of Architecture Students, following the success of the tiny house he built himself in 2016.

Did you know that architecture and engineering are not the same thing?

Building cost has a direct impact on our design and it's one of the most basic and obvious concerns for architects and clients. In this video I'll show you how I use it as a creative constraint that informs our building design.

Building cost is divided into two general categories: soft and hard costs. Soft costs are the indirect cost of design: architectural fees, consultant fees, permitting, financing, and legal fees. Hard costs are all the cost directly attributed to the construction of the physical building.

Early on in the design process we know little about the building and so we use square footage as a means for estimating the building's cost to construct. But square footage alone won't provide all the information we need to properly describe the cost of a structure, some spaces cost more to build than others. Factoring the square footage provides an added level of precision and allows clients and architects to better plan how design affects the overall budget.

Planning for unforeseeable conditions is important as well and I describe how much of a contingency to add to the project at each phase of the work.

Cost considerations are crucial to realizing both our client's project and our vision for the work in the world and this video shares the framework I use to get there.

In this talk, Jon Wolski explains how to avoid meeting wildfires by documenting all architecture decisions in a light-weight decision record.

Speaker: Jonathan Wolski, Principle Software Engineer, Disney
Slides: https://docs.google.com/presen....tation/d/1pMOMU4H9mt

All architecture begins with a concept. If you’re struggling to find one, curious about what one is, or wondering how architects begin their projects; this short course will walk you through the process I use and some of the techniques I rely on to develop architectural concepts all illustrated with one of my residential projects.

Design is a dialogue, and the concept ensures you have something to talk about. In this video I discuss the precise steps I take when beginning each project and how those steps lead me to an architectural concept.

Before we can develop the concept, we have to first understand the practical constraints. My design process begins only after gathering and assessing all the given parameters for a project. Now, this primarily consists of three types of information. There’s information derived from the site - things like: local climate, the prevailing winds, the solar aspect, vegetation, neighboring structures, the site’s history, and any unique liabilities or opportunities. The site of course also comes along with legal frameworks for development, which describe where and what we can and can’t build.

The second type of information we’ll gather is from the client. Every client has a set of cultural beliefs and preconceptions, preferences and agendas. Of course, we’ll want to determine their budget, and understand the personality traits and organizational politics which might also shape the design. The client and the building type together determine what architects call, “the program” which is essentially a detailed accounting of all the spaces the building will contain.

And the third type of information I gather is related to the building typology – is it a museum, a home…or a school for example? To learn about a building typology we often conduct an analysis of notable or relevant historical precedents. We want to know the essential problems these types of structures grapple with. Understanding the history of the archetype allows us to approach a problem from a fresh perspective.

All of this is necessary information that we collect for every project. This inventory can also serve as the progenitor for the design concept – our seed idea. And, rather than shunting creativity, these constraints often incite the creative process.

Concept Inspirations Discussed:
- Site
- Client
- Narrative
- Materials
- Structural
- Mainifestos
- Formal

As with a good film, the setting, the characters, the cinematography, and the plot all conspire to make it what it is. It’s the experience you’ll recall rather than the concept per se. Sure, the concept sets the film in motion and it’s the starting point for all that follows. But this concept – the one or two-line description – can’t possible capture the richness and depth of the finished film…or in our case the architecture. Yet without it, the work is unfulfilling and so it should be clear that the concept is necessary for all our work as architects.
