 Posted: Mon Apr 27, 2009 2:00 pm Post subject: Rut: IBC & Architectural community, & where do they |
    |
|
NOTICES: Salutations;
To all Investors, Developers, and regular folk tired of the same old stile of home & business structures. Only to find you can’t sell do to the mundane & repetitive design rut the Architectural Community has been in for the last 30 odd years? Want a designer that can plan for anything & brake through to a NEW EVOLUTION in ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN.
I am ready to step up & create standards of building design no other has thus far & where the IBC, and Local Codes have not.
OBJECTIVE: To CONVINCE you, the INVESTOR, the ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING FIRM, and all Others that apply, I HAVE A DESIGN IDEA addressing issues that THE IBC AND LOCAL CODE HAVE NOT. I BASED this opinion on the FACT that if you LOOK(ING) AT Homes & Businesses in TORNADO ALLIE, they are still crumbling do to Tornadoes & no revisions in site. As well as the fact that we are still selling windows & doors in these areas without Shutters that “Lock In” to the frame system. (Lumber costs go up do to board up!). Furthermore, we have NEW ORLEANS, TSUNAMIS, AVALANCHES of earth or snow, and VOLCANOES & FLOODS.
MY VISION: with the right team of engineers is to;
1) Built a home or business in tornado alley, and know that after a category 5 tornado goes through my structure stands 75% to 100% better chance it will still be standing.
2) Have a home built in the 2000 ft above sea level with no cares if you became snowed in or warriors of suffering “Cabin Fever”.
3) Know in flood zones with life pods in place in everyone's backyard, no one would have to die from floods anymore. As while as with my new foundation system in place home and business has 75% to 100% better chance of no water damage to the structure.
4) Create for you the Investor a impenetrable resort, hotel, or home along the coast lines where tsunamis are prevalent.
Eliminate the endless cost of Mother Natures furry. No more boarding up windows, packing sandbags, NO MORE NATURAL DISASTER ZONES do to everyday weather for that particular reign
These are just a fraction of what I have in mined. The Keywords being “Environmental Survival” of said structure.
NOTE: Elements being, wind, water, Tornado, Tsunami, land erosion, lava, tidal waves, fire, avalanches, extra.
For me Environmental Survival means:
To build a structure that in design according to the environment with witch it must exist in. Thereby insuring it's further existence even after being subject to the elements that be.
Virtually no one, not even the IBC, UBC, or Local Codes have addressed the issues when arguing the cost to the American tax payer or the ever increasing insurance cost do to deficient configuration of buildings for the elements that be. Lute alone the ecological damage to the surrounding area. Every year to board up, sand bag, and rebuild do to inadequate structural design. Buildings being built disregarding the environment with witch they are intended.
With our renewable resources running out, you have to ask yourself how much longer will they last rebuilding what should have never fallen. If proper building practices were in place that addressed the environment with witch their in & the elements that be, we would not have losses year after year. How many homes could we have built with those same resources used to board up and/or rebuild every year.
A BUILDING CAN ETHER ALLOW NATURE TO FLOW AROUND IT AND THEREBY BEING ONE WITH NATURE OR IT CAN HINDER NATURES NATURAL FLOW AND SUCCUMB TO IT’S FURRY!
I have found a new way of Architectural Thinking. To build with nature and not against it, to allow the elements and the building to flow as one, nether one upsetting the others path or existence. Harmony

Now that is a new "why" of architectural thinking, especially if I can avoid cabin fever. Unfortunately what I really suffer from is mid century modern daylight rambler fever. Fortunately not in a lahar zone, so it needn't survive a volcano.

I will make sure I hirer you as my secretary when the company manifest! Right now though, changing the way the IBC codes, Local codes, and the Architectural Community view our world and how we build within it, is my biggest concern!!

The building codes are not the reason buildings are not built to resist and survive the ravaging forces of Mother Nature; THE LAW OF DIMINISHING RETURNS is the cause why governments, architects, engineers, and builders can not build 100% quake, fire, and hurricane/tsunami resisting and durable homes and commercial structures.
Technology is available to construct 100 story skyscrapers, quake resistant, fire resistant, and wind resistant, but the average Joe can not afford this technology in their homes. Besides the average Joe if the house does not look like a white fenced frame house, it is not a HOME and will not purchase if offered at a very reasonable price.
The cost of reconstructing homes ravaged by Mother Nature is much chipper than building all the houses to resist quakes, fires and hurricanes.
Even the Federal government do not build 100% safe bridges, highways, etc. because is much chipper to paid for a lost of life in a highway accident that invest in adding an extra lane to the road and avoid such accident
- The law of diminishing returns is a classic economic concept that states that as more investment in an area is made, overall return on that investment increases at a declining rate, assuming that all variables remain fixed. To continue to make an investment after a certain point (which varies from context to context) is to receive a decreasing return on that input.
The law of diminishing returns has broader applications than economics. In fact, it is one of the most widely recognized economic principles outside of the economic classroom. In a call center, for instance, service level improvements decline in rate in relation to each additional successive agent added.
Other real-world examples abound:
• A student considering one more hour of study after 2 AM.
• A prospective car buyer evaluating the benefits of a higher grade of luxury vehicle
• A farmer weighing adding an extra bushel of fertilizer to a saturated field of corn
• A marketer analyzing the ROI of additional media buys in a long-running campaign
See also the law of increasing opportunity cost, which states that returns on an investment decrease as the opportunity costs for that investment rise.

You are still thinking in the box! Quake resistant, fire resistant, and wind resistant, the key word being RESISTANT! As long as we continue to build to RESIST NATURE we will lose. I dare you to help me just bring one of my design to realty, and then we can settle this matter! Until then, don't knock it till you try it as MOM use to say!
