Still from the uncertified Builders Week ![]() ![]() Here’s something cool from the conceptdesignarchitect.com THE ARTFUL RENDER MASTERCLASS You can grab this course for $497 pere or do $170 in 3 installments. I got this for my licensed but inexperienced junior architects as a resource to expose them to modern design practices.

megacontrol: I'd really like to know who exactly you are and what is your profession and certification. If you can't respond to this then certainly you're also a quack ![]() ![]() I am maybe a quack with a B.Tech, PGD, MSc and MBA degrees all in engineering/construction related fields. In my early years in this thread one of your likes have put up such childish attitudes. Try not to make me play that game again. If you're looking for people to toy with find someone else. I don't tolerate careless words.NL is not an authority over my kind of person. You want to help me with a job.....please how much did you pay the last person you gave a job..............let me use that as a yardstick to see how well you could assist me!!!!! 2 Likes |

Here’s a great tool for architects, builders, designers and integrators to help you design sustainable buildings. Climate Consultant You could buy stone-coated roofing tiles and still live in discomfort. The dysfunctional construction industry had little or no idea about materials and elements and their effect on buildings. A lot of people see materials and designs in a basic way. Climate consultant is an app that helps you generate datas/decisions that can help you clients avoid discomfort. May I ask “How did you arrive at your decision to use gypsum as your ceiling covering?” “Your friend had it in his house” “It’s luxury and match your taste ![]() Have you heard about embodied carbon? How about operational carbon? In today construction landscape, we have dysfunctional industry problem and bad materials problem. The latter is worse than the former. We just do things irrationally “as the spirit led.” ____ ...back to my baba lati class

bixton: Bros.. Please.. let us cool down our temper always when addressing issue.. Proffessionally is wrong.. in the rule book of NSE.. it is not allowed to use insulting words at your fellow professionals either in the presence of clients or in open forum like this.. There is nothing wrong in person calling for professional Certification.. is what we do normally on construction sites... Apart from the baba latis.... we even professionals steal our jobs... for example, a n Engineer doing job of QS... or QS drawing architectural drawings.. Way forward... All we can pray for is God to keep us busy as professionals.. there are quacks everywhere in different fields... The country too is not helping.. the proffessional bodies that are suppose to enforce professionalism on site are just ready to collect annual dues from members... But .. two wrongs to make a right..

micgray100: Designing sustainable building is not just about the structural design but everything else including the materials used for the building. If you find yourself relying on artificial lighting, then you’ll have a higher energy cost. We actually discussed what you said here “Structural Engineers already for see wind load in their design according to the wind speed in the area..” in the class. Many architects and designers feels the backend stuffs are process that the client do not need to know about and we were encouraged to use datas to show our clients why certain decisions are made in our designs. Security is no issue bro. There are thousands of smart solutions out there to explore. I love this quote from the class “Buildings are the problem but they are also the solution.” Naija is not an exception, let’s stop making naija look like it’s another planet ![]() ![]() If you don’t know it, Broking House is in Ibadan for almost 4 decades and nothing has happened to it. It’s an ALL glass building. The world is constantly evolving and interestingly we are going to keep building, if we are going to keep building with the same strategies and materials, how do we know ensure we are designing buildings that’ll respond to ever changing climatic conditions. _____ I have atrium designed in my current build not because I just wanted to have fun but improve indoor health - least emission, indoor plants etc Naija building industry is filled with people who just want to take in (stone-coated roof, pop ceiling, spanish tiles, concrete flooring, upvc windows etc) and not to give back. Yet we wonder why we die. Read up Volatile Organic Compounds and hiwnto conduct VOC testing. My 1 cent ... Brabus (Baba Lati 1) _____ Pic - Broking House, Ibadan (almost 4 decades old)

Their attention to details in such designs is out of this world. Those old buildings were built in a slow-paced era. It might not have been precast after all. / |

n3xt: OGA N3XT.... YOU MAKE MY LAUGH IN SPANISH .... PROFESSIONALLY I WOULD HAVE FINE YOU PROFFESIONALLY FOR YOUR STATEMENT ABOVE THAT "BROKING HOUSE IBADAN IS MADE OF GLASS" * READ UP.. TYPES OF RENDERING OF TALL BUILDINGS. THE TWO POINT I RAISED WAS 1, STRUCTURAL INTERGRITY OF A BUILDING SUBJECTED TO WIND LOAD WHICH HAE BEEN TAKING CARE OF ALREADY BY THE ENGINEER DESIGNING... SO BRING IN WEATHER CONSULTANT EXPERT YOU INTRODUCING IN YOUR WORKSHOP YOU ATTENDING IF OF NO USE IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION. 2, DUE TO SECURITY CHANLLEGES IN THE COUNTRY, I SAID USING OF BREAKABLE GLASS FOR BUILDING LIKE A STOREY BUILDING IS NOT ADVISABLE.. BECAUSE IT WILL BE EASY ACCESS FOR INTRUDERS IN NIGERIA.. DO ME ONE FAVOR, BUILD A GLASS SHOP IN IKORODU ROUND ABOUT FILLED WITH CEMENT.. I BET YOU.,, 24 HOURS IS TOO MUCH FOR IT TO BE VANDALISED BY HOODLUMS THAT NIGERIA GOVT HAVE NO DATA BASE FOR. NIGERIA IS A DEVELOPING NATION... ONE EXAMPLE IS.......THERE ARE SOME OLD BUILDINGS WITH WOODEN SLABS.. WHY HAVE WE ADANCED TO RCC SLABS... THESE ARE THE KIND OF QUESTION I EXPECT FROM YOU.. THAT A BUILDING HAS A GLASS RENDERING DOESNT SAY THE BUILDING IS MADE OF GLASS. SEE THE PICS WELL.. YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE GLASS RENDING DID NOT START FROM THE FIRST 3 FLOORS.. ASK WHY ![]() ![]() STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS WORK IN BUILDING IS THE MOST ESSENTIAL IN REINFORCE CONCRETE STRUCTURES LIKE TALL BUILDINGS.. THERE IS CALLED "CORE"OF TALL RCD STRUCTURES. WITH THE CORE OF THE ABOVE BUILDING NOT PROPERLY DESIGNED BY A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER... THE FINISHING WORK OF USING GLASS IS OF NO USE.... OGA NEXT... I RESPECT YOU AS A CONTRACTOR WHICH YOU CLAIM.... BUT LEAVE THE PROFFESSIONALISM FOR THE PROFESSIONALS.. WE ALL NOTICED SOMETHING ON THIS TREND... THE PROFFESSIONAL ARE NOT REALLY GETTING JOBS... YOU KNOW WHY... WE ARE NOT TRAINED MARKETTERS... AND ALSO CANT TAKE NON SENSE FROM CLIENTS.. OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH CLIENTS IS WORST... AND WE BELIEVE THE JOB WILL FIND US... WHICH IS AFFECTING MOST PROFFESSIONALS... NOT ALL BUT YOU A CONTRACTOR ... YOU ARE MORE THAN A TRAINED MARKETER.. YOU HAVE POSITIVE DISCUSSIONS WITH CLIENTS... AND SEE FROM CLIENT'S PERSPECTIVE... WHICH AT THE END IS AN ADVANTAGE.. LET ME STOP HERE.... MY 2 CENT.. ENGR.
