I didn't quit architecture. I diversified.
The intense amounts of work I had to do as a young architect made me feel demoralized, especially when clients expected me to work for free (or for extremely low compensation). In the last year, I discovered what I wanted to work with, and how to thrive under these conditions. Which also meant I haven't been creating content. But I'm working on that

    I hate how YT has now put "play" & "scroll down" buttons right in the center of all short vids. Is there nothing I can do to get rid of them?! It makes it hard & at times impossible to read or see things that are integral to fully understanding the short! All the text near the bottom of the shorts for channel name, subscribe button, video title, hangtags, & the music track is frustrating as it is & now they have to add MORE visual obstructions & distractions? The developers/ designers or whoever they are who make these changes to YT apparently don't give two hoots about YT users' satisfaction or experience & it makes me wonder if any of them even use the mobile app or mobile site at all.

    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:47 *Sustainable architecture involves more than just adding green features like trees; it requires considering the materials used and their environmental impact.* 01:26 *Greenwashing occurs when sustainability claims are exaggerated, leading to confusion about what truly constitutes sustainable architecture.* 02:09 *The short lifespan of buildings, combined with the use of non-biodegradable materials like styrofoam, contributes to environmental waste and degradation.* 03:04 *Styrofoam (EPS) is commonly used for insulation despite its negative environmental impact and poor recyclability, highlighting the need for more sustainable alternatives.* 04:32 *Current building practices prioritize cost and aesthetics over sustainability, leading to unsustainable structures and practices.* 05:16 *Understanding the sources and end-of-life destinations of building materials is crucial for promoting sustainable practices in construction.* Made with HARPA AI

    Thank you for correctly calling it Yakisugi. ("grilled cedar".) Yep, cedar. I know there's some dispute over exactly which conifer, is involved. Here's a Japanese carpenter making a repair and near the end of the video is adding some to the exterior of the house. ua-cam.com/video/yjcqeItTdxA/v-deo.html He's using cedar and about thirteen minutes and thirteen seconds in he calls it yakisugi. When they are "grilling" the wood, there is also a specific side they use. The side of the plank closest to the center of the tree is the side that is burned. A Japanese carpenter would consider that the back or bottom of the plank, and in most cases in the interior would be the side you don't see. But on the exterior that side is burned and faces out.

    That bit at the end, lol ok. Seems we need to tell Italians that the Chinese own pasta now since there's no such thing as cultural exposts, two or more versions of the same things can't exist at the same time, and something, something cultural appropriation, time to give China back a _huge_ number of things, but at least the French get to have cars (even though people think Germany was the first). Or we can accept no one owns culture, language changes over time, all cultures are subject to misunderstandings and mistranslation, then therein, thereby, and thereafter collectively grow up.

    Hi Ms. Kathryn. I am located here in the Southernmost of the Philippines, specifically in the BARMM region. We are the top producer of seaweeds here in the Philippines and I would really love to focus my thesis for my master's degree in Chemistry on seaweeds with the aim of furthering its application. I am fascinated with now I discovered other applications of bioplastic on the manufacturing of utensils, in replacement of synthetic plastics. Using bioplastics from seaweeds is obviously more sustainable. Where can i personally reach you? Hope you can give me insights. Thank you!
