Architects: What are your toilet opinions? I'm an architect and have strong opinions on toilets and most if not all other architects I know do as well. What are your toilet opinions and hot-takes?

soft closing seat and lid only.
If we are talking residential, I have my own strong opinions. The WC shall be in the same room as the sink; you shall nothing but a sink to wash your hands after the business. No separate rooms, no screens or doors to separate the WC to the rest of the bathroom. Each toilet shall be provided with either a bidet, an hygienic shower, or one of those Japanese super duper automatic things. You shall wash your genitalia and/or bottom hole after the business. Natural daylight and natural ventilation is a must.

urinals for residences. wouldn't need to take up as much space as commercial use urinals, just a well-placed recess or pipe/chute that folds out to receive the stream at the press of a button or pedal.

I don't understand why toilets in non-residential buildings continue to be grouped at all, let alone by gender, an increasingly arbitrary distinction. One of the most private and awkward activities in our daily lives and we cram people within three feet of each other with no acoustic separation. Then the basic propensity for vulnerability and violence in a confined and hidden space. Just make them all separate rooms already! Amazingly in my jurisdiction the transit system agreed with all of this a few years ago and every new public toilet is now a series of completely separate rooms wide enough for baby changing, parent and child, etc.

Composting toilets should be more common. I had one for a while and miss the lack of smell. Could have been designed better. If it's on the side of a building, the emptying tray could be removed outside. Sinks should be in a separate room so people can shit and wash their hands separately. Keeping toiletries and towels were the fecal plume is is kinda gross. While it's unlikely to make you sick, toothbrushes in the same room as the toilet are covered in fecal matter. Having the sink in the bedroom would also be nice. Wake up and wash your face while your partner uses the toilet.

In multi-stall commercial restrooms I hate making stalls 30"wide with the partition door swinging in. I know building maintenance is going to install the giant Sysco TP holder and it's difficult to squeeze in when that monstrosity takes up 1/4 of the width. I wish more restrooms that might have children use them had a permanent step stool. I've seen this in a few locations & thought it was genius.

Toilets in the US sit too damn high. I don’t want a squatty potty that’s basically a hole in the floor like some countries have, but I shouldn’t need to raise my legs with my toes or a stool to get into proper pooping position. This is especially important when your stomach is upset lolol

I’m a fan of the Toto washlet, which is like a bidet or Japanese style toilet. For new construction, be sure to add an outlet near the toilet because the washlet needs power.

Working in the field professionally, Architectural Graphic Standards. At my office they use a 60 year old edition at times but I have a much newer addition and man, if you have any question about how anything is built, it's probably in there. I also know licensed professionals who would swear by their details as well. Edit: I should say this is more of a reference book, but I do peruse it for fun sometimes (huge archi-geek here)

Happy City by Charles Montgomery, if you’re into Urban Design Also can’t go wrong with a bit of Peter Zumthor Atmospheres/Thinking Architecture And if you STILL want to get into Architecture, and get bored of books, then I can’t recommend Lebbeus Woods’ personal blog enough. Full of some great thoughts…and come to think of it, has actually also been made into a book…

It's more of a technical referance book than educational one. "Architects' Data" by Ernst Neufert. It contains spesifications for many standardised items, it's a great starting point when you have no idea how to do things.

What are some of your favorite architecture books? I'm about to start grad school in 2 weeks and want to get my mind ready for absorbing as much as I can. Would love to start reading more about architecture in general as well!

[Ask] What is a good starting pay for an architectural drafter right out of a drafting program? I just finished an architectural drafting certificate at my local technology college (Salt Lake City area) and am now on the hunt for a job as a drafter. I just got my first job offer at a residential design firm and they are offering $11/hr which seems a little low to me. I could easily make more then that in tips at my last job as a restaurant server. This is the first drafting job I have applied for and my first offer. Should I turn down the offer and keep applying? Other then the pay it seems like a great job.

Ask for 15 and see what they do.
Starting salary for residential architectural designers coming out of school with a Bachelors or Masters degree in NYC averages at around $40k, which averages at around $20 an hour for a 40 hour work week. Per Glassdoor, the average salary for an architect in NYC is $88,805, while in SLC the average is $67,391 (~24% less). Based on this, it is safe to assume the average starting salary for architectural designers with a Bachelors or Masters degree in SLC is closer to $30k, or $15 an hour for a 40 hour work week. I think it’s possible to do better but based on the figures I found $11/hour for a drafting position seems in range. Never hurts to shop around looking for the right job for you!

This is your first drafting job. You basically know nothing John Snow. Your going to get paid to learn which is a pretty decent deal. Id take the job give it my all and after 6 months ask for a few dollar raise. Maybe see if they will accept a dollar or two more. What did the job offer say? I dont like when people waste my time and ask for more than the job offer stated, particularly if they are not worth it. You have no experience to leverage and with no degree of any kind I wouldnt be too picky if this is what you want to do. In 20 years you'd still be making waiter money as a waiter but if you go this route you'd be much better off over time.

Practicing architects, what kind of student were you in studio and how did that translate into practice? [ask] Did you work hard and fast in short spurts or were you more consistent and slow? Did you have to change your pace once you got to a firm? Did you know your role in group projects in school, but then did that role change in practice? Did you listen to professor then the same way you listen to your superiors?

I graduated in 2016, but school already feels so distant. My first design was almost always my final design, just with tweaks. I worked fast and managed time well, which meant asides from one project first semester, I pulled no all-nighters, was rarely stressed, and usually slept around 11pm everyday. I definitely traded a bit of social outing by working hard. My designs were never the most interesting, beautiful, nor complex. I subconsciously took a Rationalist (think Louis Kahn) approach to my projects, which was problematic until end of second year, when an older professor encouraged me to keep it up, saying that other professors will try to steer me towards avant-garde/complex/skin-driven/parametric designs, but I should stick with what I believe is "correct" to me. I challenged/discussed professors all the time. I was usually the group leader in projects. In practice, I moved up the ranks quickly, now a project manager/senior designer. I challenge/discuss with the principal all the time. Others in the office expect me to answer questions and solve problems when the principal is out. On the side, I also pick up many of my own projects, which consumes much of my time. I am still trading fun time for work. But I made way more than I expected to one year out of school, so that's kinda nice. Architecture is damn hard work, but kinda fun.
I worked my tail off through the first 4 years of my 5 year program. I was good in studio but not great. Maybe top 15% if I’m being generous. My thesis advisor stabbed me in the back, totally flipping her support of my project idea (she’d been my professor the prior summer during study abroad...), and the result was near disastrous for graduating on time. I had to pull strings and loophole my way out to a different studio, probably burned a couple bridges in the process. By the time I graduated I just wanted to gtfo, took my degree and ran with the bare minimum GPA to keep my scholarship. Working in a firm was awesome, the economy was booming at the time and we were so busy by necessity I got a ton of early management experience and 4 years out was running 8 figure jobs with some principal oversight. Group projects in school are a farce. Do not be afraid to throw people under the bus who try to ride your coat tails to a good grade. Be vocal early and often with your professors if you’ve got trouble! The difference between professors and professionals is generally that the professionals know when to stop designing and start detailing to get a buildable product. Both have great valuable things to teach you.

Do long internships count? Hate studio with a *passion*, but I love the industry. I'm still in a pre-professional undergrad, but I worked for a year at a lighting design firm w/ architects. It's so exciting to see why buildings work, and having them go up, and handle construction drawings so that even a child can understand them. Client arguments? Hah, bring em; my words become horse tranquilizer because I turn it from a fight to a problem-solving session with neutral language and warm coffee. It's glorious, because everything has an *explanation* and a *reason* to exist, that goes beyond *it looks cool*. I actually got to practice detailed explanations with lighting systems, and I felt smart for once! Studio, god awful at it. At certain points I become insecure with my design, and start avoiding it so i don't face "harsh criticisms". Time management becomes irrelevant because I fall behind regularly. I only survive through a miracle of rushing and all-nighters. Mostly because I'm insecure in my explanations; having something "look cool" isn't enough for me, I want to explain how it holds itself up and why people should finance it in the first place. But, my professors are avant-garde types who prioritize aesthetics and novelty, relegating structural systems and technicalities to the very end. Tl;dr love the work, loathe studio. Managers love my work ethic, flexibility, and understandable-yet-knowledgable explanations, professors dismiss my lack of work and I'm a little shit who wants a clear explanation as to why I should use parametric design in a neighborhood filled with old industrial remodels. But I can probably fix my perception of studio. Maybe.

During undergrad I took studio way too seriously. Burned out after graduation and decided to go into structural engineering instead of architecture . I work mostly on high end residential projects, which usually have fast track schedules and are very intense. I don't spend nearly as many hours as the architecture side of the project but some jobs have needed me to stay long hours at the office to meet deadlines. The good thing about my architecture background is that it helped me get a better grip on detailing and preparing a set of drawings, something some of my strictly engineering peers struggled with. It also helped me deal with working better when in short timelines. I did a couple of team studios in school but the dynamic is so dependent on the group it's hard to tell. Same at work, the dynamic is dependent on which co-workers I'm teamed up with. With some the workload is more balanced, while I know with others I might have to pick up more of the slack. As for studio professors I tended to listen to them a lot more in undergrad. By the time I got to grad studios though, I honestly just did whatever I wanted to do and rarely listened to my professors. At work though you need to listen to your clients and your superiors, and though there are times where disagreements come up you have to be as professional as you possibly can to present your argument and just hope they make the best decision.

I think Herzog & de Meuron is the best architecture firm right now. Solid design ideas, impressive creativity from project to project, quality materials, great construction, great details. The buildings are engaging and keep a good balance between big ideas and functional spaces. Thomas Heatherwick is a little too artistic, but at the end of the day I like his projects. I think they are just a little more elaborate and have more flair than they need to. Big is meh, it's not what I like nowadays because they seem to lack a human scale, but their form diagrams are interesting and make for cool icons, I used to think they were the greatest a few years ago. I don't get the appeal of Zumthor, the spaces feel cold and out of touch, but his buildings have a textural quality BIG projects seem to lack. Sou Fujimoto, Renzo Piano, Richard Meyer, this whole white architecture thing needs to stop. Wang Shu, his projects are dope. A little too freeform, but that is a thing in modern architecture. If I had the money I would buy his buildings.

[ASK] Can you please recommend some great books to learn about floor planning? Hi! I am not an architect by profession but I work closely in the construction industry and I want to learn about what makes a great floor plan (residential or commercial) with details of electrical, plumbing, sanitation etc. Can you please recommend books, videos, or articles? Thank you so very much.

Maybe something like this? The Interior Plan: Concepts and Exercises I have not read it yet but it is on my list.
I'd recommend you investigate functional programming, and if you don't have access to user groups then you'll want to provide that information with your own observations and experience.

Unfortunately I don't have any.... But it might be worth looking into some interior design stuff too! There is a lot of floor planning involved in that field

Neufert architect data. This contains a general variety of information and is a good thing to start with. Not cheap though.

You could probably find a book by Frank Ching for pretty cheap used. There are a few that might suit you.

What's the building which had the highest impact on architecture? I was thinking with a friend about this topic. We came to the conclusion it may the the Parthenon as it's the most famous greek building and may be one of the reasons why these distinct columns have been so popular in many other buildings even 2500 years later. However, were not architects and we have a very western view of the world. We would love to hear, what you think may be the building, that had worldwide the highest impact on Architecture :)

Highest impact (rather than "best" or "greatest") building would arguably be the Colosseum--with the Pantheon coming in a close second. Given the global influence of (Neo-)Classical architecture, I don't think it's particularly controversial an ancient Roman building takes the prize. The reason I rank the Colosseum and Pantheon ahead of the Parthenon is that the Renaissance started in Italy, and Italian architects like Brunelleschi and Alberti were studying Roman ruins. The Colosseum is the best example of what became known as the superposed order (the stacking of different styles of columns), and it was the comparative critical analysis of the orders that really kicked off modern architectural theory. The Pantheon deserves a mention because it was extremely well-preserved and so provided an excellent opportunity for the study of ancient Roman structures and proportions. Roman architecture was, of course, highly influenced by Greek architecture, but Athens was under Ottoman occupation during the Renaissance and Western Europeans weren't able to study the ruins directly or produce measured drawings until the middle of the 18th century. As a result, the Parthenon only became so important later on.
I'd argue for the Pantheon, which employs a kind of reinforced concrete

I’ll throw a hat in the ring for the Hagia Sofia due to the structural complexity for its time and the way it influenced both Islamic and church architecture. While Roman and Greek elements are perennially popular I think the influence Islamic architecture had/has on western structures is somewhat underemphasized.

Since you said 'highest impact', we need to know what is ubiquitous in the current (or any previously prominent) construction. I would say that Concrete is the most important and necessary component of construction; from roads, bridges, buildings, tunnels ... etc, all are quite difficult with out concrete. Therefore, the first building/construction which introduced or popularized concrete would be the most impactful. It would definitely be one of ancient Roman construction which stayed till 18th century to inspire for Concrete to be redeveloped. I would say Pantheon, with its magnificent unreinforced concrete dome. The colosseum would come at a close second.

Loos house in Vienna. It was completely shocking at the time when the scaffholding was removed. It was also the building that started the entire modernism movement. Sure, Loos wasn't the greatest modernist master like Mies VDH or Le Corbusier, but he was the founder in many ways and a lot of people followed in his footsteps.
I’m not sure if this counts exactly, but pyramids. There’s the Great Pyramids of Egypt, of course, but that building shape is found in many civilizations throughout the world likely due to its simplicity, stability, and strength.

My first thought was the basilica of Saint-Denis as rebuild by Abbot Suger in 1144, because it shaped gothic architecture and was therefore very influential in its time.

Interesting question. How does one define ‘highest impact’? I’d say the typical 2 up 2 down terraced house might be the most common in the UK and might be argued to have the greatest impact on the greatest number of people here at least.

The Eiffel tower had a pretty big impact on modern architecture as it was hated when it was built, but loved shortly after.

I don't think it's one building but rather a collection of buildings. With that said, I would argue ancient Rome, particularly the Forum and the Capitoline Hill.

Why can we not include some of the earliest man-made shelters? Or even a cave? Surely deciding to create your own shelter affects everything after?

We came to the conclusion it may the the Parthenon as it's the most famous greek building and may be one of the reasons why these distinct columns have been so popular in many other buildings even 2500 years later. However, were not architects and we have a very western view of the world. We would love to hear, what you think may be the building, that had worldwide the highest impact on Architecture :)

I’m not sure if this counts exactly, but pyramids. There’s the Great Pyramids of Egypt, of course, but that building shape is found in many civilizations throughout the world likely due to its simplicity, stability, and strength.
The Eiffel tower had a pretty big impact on modern architecture as it was hated when it was built, but loved shortly after.

I don't think it's one building but rather a collection of buildings. With that said, I would argue ancient Rome, particularly the Forum and the Capitoline Hill.

Why can we not include some of the earliest man-made shelters? Or even a cave? Surely deciding to create your own shelter affects everything after?

I would have to say the unité d’habitation by LeCorbusier as basically most of Europe started building like that for about 50 years on an unparalleled scale
My first thought was the basilica of Saint-Denis as rebuild by Abbot Suger in 1144, because it shaped gothic architecture and was therefore very influential in its time.

Interesting question. How does one define ‘highest impact’? I’d say the typical 2 up 2 down terraced house might be the most common in the UK and might be argued to have the greatest impact on the greatest number of people here at least.

Vitruvius is probably the architect who's had the biggest impact on Western, and later International architecture, because his theories were the foundation of Roman architecture, and he remained relevant through the medieval period. Vitruvius wasn't really forgotten when he was rediscovered in the renaissance, although he became extremely important in the renaissance period for obvious reasons. Ever wondered why medieval churches and cathedrals always have the altar to the east? That's Vitruvius. His rules of proportions are still felt in the works of modernists like Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe.

There isn't "one". The first structure ideated and built independently outside any cave or natural feature would be it, if there was.

Not a building in a strict meaning, but Roman streets were so freaking advanced and one of the main reasons Roman Empire became one of the biggest and “globalized” empire in ancient times

Since so many people are saying the pantheon I’m going to take it a step further down the ladder and say the Villa Almerico Capra or Villa La Rotunda in Venice, I’m not super familiar with the naming of the building. But really this one building is interchangeable with many others, as it is one of the many Villas designed by Andrea Palladio. While the style of the Pantheon is greatly imitated, this imitation is only possible in part because of Palladio’s “translation” of Greek and Roman traditions into a decipherable replicable language of design. Neoclassical and Palladian architecture are not one to one, but palladio’s work on the style is part of what allowed such a major revival of classical architecture, particularly in America where Thomas Jefferson was a complete Palladio simp. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palladian_villas_of_the_Veneto
