Welcome to Architect Talk, a content network dedicated to architecture and the built environment!
I’m a registered architect in Philadelphia PA, mainly working on residential and mixed use projects. Outside of my 9-5, I have purchased and rehabbed several properties of my own.
The goal of this channel is to educate and inspire those who are involved with, or interested in, the AEC (architecture, engineering, and construction) industry.

Who restores them
Restoration experts and specialists likely…
what application is this?
Revit
Jango is why this got the like...sorry
Very fair
Plywood is actually stronger than dimensional lumber. No such thing as too much construction adhesive; do not use wood glue. The nails are only there till the glue dries. Better to use structural screws than 16d nails, makes it all tighter like plywood but more like a lam beam. GRK screws come in lengths up to 4". I've done this and over-nailed (too many) with 8d ring-shank nails. Keep it all as tight as possible.
Thanks for the feedback ! There’s a lot of conflicting information regarding screws vs nails for these types of repairs. Screws do offer more clamp force but from my research can be prone to breaking or splitting the wood, as opposed to nails which can flex
Structural screws have the same strength as framing nails. As I said, they're only there the glue dries.
They nailed it
Omg I'm studying architecture design right now at my local trade school. You're literally the person I want to be. What did you go to school for/what do you do professionally?
I have a five-year degree in architecture. I’m currently work as a registered architect and a firm working on mixed-use multifamily projects and clubhouses . Thank you for the kind words
sup y'all
Howdy
Looks like most suburbs lol. Nice masonry all along the front and bottom-dollar plastic siding for the back and sides
in this case that blank wall is prob at least 18” of solid masonry
Mhm that property line kills creativity lmao
Personally, I love creative constraints!
@@architect_talk it does give a nice challenge which I like but there's times I'll have a image in my mind and be stoked to put it somewhere other than my head and then the only thing that stops or makes me change it is a damn property or any case a building block on the property and it just kills the whole idea for me so I'ma have to change it, ya I can make a change but it usually kills the original feel I had for it and honestly that's what powers my best work so it is worth just changing the idea too something else I can get into personally but no a challenge of creativity is fun when willing lol sometimes I just want my cool ideas to work lmao
Was probably another taller building there and since thst wall is shared they cant. Duh
What a ridiculous claim !
They did a far better job back in the days at designing and building Those majestic builds were erected in 1 year With horses and carts Now with our revolutionary tech, we take years to build something quite boring to the eyes ...history is a lie Look into melthology It's so worth it There was a reset that they don't talk about not long ago And they erased the Tartarian empire
For what reason did "they" "erase" this Tartarian Empire?
@@MeidoInHebuncapitalism or something idk
Hello Thanks for the video. I have a question how do I post a snap of my plan
Not sure that you can. Feel free to send me an email
Facts
It's been doing my nut in for years. I have renovated 3 properties now where most developers would have raised and rebuilt. It's incredible how many old lovely building are demolished for this modern crap. Wish i had more money to save more buildings
Get a husband and make a plan.
Unify the aesthetic? No... I guess not... They will not will they?
Why wouldn’t they ?
@@architect_talk what do you mean by unify the aesthetic? Make all stones look same color? Now you can clearly see what Gaudi did and what the modern interpretation is.
For being a architect you have difficult time stating that the sheeting on the outter walls is shear strength.
In my videos I’m mainly talking to non-architects and like to simplify things
Yeah
Yes.
How to piss off a contractor in 2 easy steps Step 1: Say words (any words, about literally any subject) Step 2: Wait
It really is that simple
My question is why the hell are you still using stucco? It is an age old substance that we have been putting on houses for years. It looks ugly as hell and it just doesn’t last go with traditional siding. Our house has had siding on it for almost 20 upwards of 30 years And it’s still going since the day that we put it in but on the other hand, I have a buddy that he has a house that was built 30 years ago and has stucco and he’s constantly always sweeping up the front driveway in the front porch because the shit just falls off the wallsdoesn’t matter if you bump it or anything, it just crumbles those reasons why traditional siding I know that there’s going to be contractors out there that would disagree to the moon and back, but I’m just going by from what I’ve seen and what I’ve been told
Homeowners and contractors like to cover original brick facades to avoid having to repoint I guess. Idk
I would be blaming the flat roof as well. If you look there's a lot of rotten wood around the roof drain on the wall.
Contractors in Australia, like sparkys and plumbers, need to be licenced.
I've built several houses in my day and its scary how many people are doing absolutely crap work, and getting away with it..
Especially in Philly
is rendering dead bc of AI? in the sense that that skill is going to be decimated with AI tools so you don't need as many people doing it
Not yet. I think for most projects you will still need a designer to “translate” from client vision to build able project
Ah yes, lets just do away with profit, forget the money people need to to live, lets make them work for the sake of making something cool, never mind their starving family and cardboard box house. You are now the record holder of the dumbest argument that has ever left a human brain.
escape the matrix trust me (I'm sure you've heard of that many times, only once is it true) come this way you'll get it when you get it when you get it, pray for us all as all of us who get it do it for the rest hurry
Belíssima! Eu conheci a Sagrada Família em 2016. Espero poder retornar a Barcelona após a conclusão das obras e admirar esta bela obra arquitetônica.
Genius
I’m a Building construction tech student, this video is really helpful, very well done 👍
Glad it was helpful! Cheers
cute
Excellent
thats silly (in a good way)
Hehe
Interesting
Relatable (im not an architect)
Agenda 21
I ain't done never mowed more than once a week thank you!
😂
I hate going to the city because you can't park. The city will fail if no one wants to go there
You’re right, we just need to figure out a way to do that, without destroying the charm of the city in the first place
Don't live in a city. It's so easy to control people when they are stacked on top of each other.
Density doesn’t always mean cities. Some of my favorite places in the country are tied to the quintessential American small town. New Hope PA. Colorado Springs. Asbury Park New Jersey.
In the 1970's urban planners shoved people into buildings. Crime escalated, ghettos formed. Concentrating a mass of people into one place leads to negative consequences
There have been good and bad examples in our past. Dense doesn’t have to mean mega urban super city. The American “small town” with a Main Street, small businesses, parks etc. were fundamental historical places. Gettysburg and Lancaster PA are both great examples of walkable towns that are rich in history, but aren’t so overwhelming
I do not care to live in city. Im from contry side of Jersey and now im Tx north of Houston. I like to take drives to the city but never live in one. More land means more beautiful and quiet privacy
I love the history and culture that cities present. Even if not a city, a small town. I also love being out in nature and in rural areas. It’s the suburbs that seem to be void of anything worthwhile. You don’t get the same privacy as you do in rural areas, and you don’t get the excitement of the urban
Why not put parking underground
You can only dig so deep before you hit hit water, or bedrock, which increase the cost of the project. In this market, an expensive project means no project.
You can have both… it’s called own some property. Stop caving in living in a dense populated over priced HOA trash or even worst a multi key card scan to get into building scan to get into elevator scan to get into unit trash.
I live in a three-story rowhouse with no HOA. I have a side alley and a backyard that gets plenty of sun. there’s a convenience, store, and three restaurants within three blocks of my house. Density doesn’t have to mean megacity, the small town has always been a fundamental component of America
We have these awesome creations called parking decks. They’re a lot like parking lots, but you can stack them. And pedestrians have their own lane, you won’t believe it, it’s called a SIDEWALK!!! The things we can do. And to combat hot cities from no greenery, we can even make green rooftops! If only we could get money out of the way, so we can actually have functional/ sustainable cities.
I think parking garages are a good resolution, but they’re just expensive. As a standalone structure developers, don’t want to pay for that. And as an integrated structure to a residential building, it takes up more space than what it’s worth.
@@architect_talk don’t act like it cannot be worked into the pricing of a large apartment complex.
Exactly, Don't move somewhere different then complain to change it. Stay in California
City should account for car parking. You Cant both. I knew you're wrong propaganda out of you is sick.
It's the builders. The City does roads. Nothing propaganda about it.
They do account for car parking, but they don’t prioritize it. If you 100% cater to the car, then you don’t get any of the benefits of urban living.
blah blah blah. expose on inadequate parking. its obvious and no matter the amount of explaining you done doesnt solve the obvious problem. fifth grader is smarter than you.
The framers will love you! 😂
Cool explanation
Glad you liked it
Thank you! Would you say the plans would allow a DIYer to build by themselves?
if the plans are good enough, and depending on your experience level, then potentially yes.
VERY INTERESTING WORK!!!! THANKS FOR SHARED
Thanks for watching !
Had to do that when my house flooded and we didnt have flood insurance it was a no flood zone untill that one rainy winter of 2005 had to do it ourselves 💪🏽
Thank you 🙏
