who does what?
Comments (12)I can't speak to the landscape part of the question, but as to the architects conference and the question, "should urban projects have an artist on staff?"... Not all architects do the same thing or have the same strengths. Some architects are "designers". Others are more detail-oriented, engineering-oriented; more practical. Frank Gehry is a designer. His staff worries about how to build what he designs. In that sense, Mr. Gehry is an artist. Different aspect: public buildings present better if they include public art. This can be sculpture, or, (I hesitate), landscape design. Not landscape design in the sense of paths, trees, borders; but landscape desing in the sense of the design of the Vietnam War Memorial, for example, or the gardens of the Getty Center.

Comments (9)ccoombs1... one of the few times I actually managed to think ahead and worked this all out on graph paper. Luckily, all of my outlets are ok. claybabe. . .now I understand what you meant. Unfortunately I only have 6 of the red tantrums to use in over the back of the cooktop. My first design only used four (for the "corners" of the "frame"), but I got a couple extra in case of breakage. . .now I'm thinking since I have them, I might as well use them! They are special order w/ 7 - 10 day delivery and my tile goes in this Saturday. I suppose I could do the second one, but I really want to use the 3 deco tiles. Guess I'll sleep on it!! Thanks again to everyone for your input....See MoreWould love input on our kitchen design before I start finalizing
Comments (32)If there's no sink in the island, then turning the island doesn't gain you much since without water in the island it's not equipped to be a good Prep Zone. A well-designed Prep Zone has: Key component -- Direct access to water -- in the Zone (not across an aisle) Key component -- Sufficient work/counterspace -- bare minimum is 36" straight counter with 42" or more much better Key component -- Near the Cooking Zone -- adjacent to it or directly across the aisle Trash & recycling in or right next to the Prep Zone No barriers b/w it and the refrigerator No DW In the way However, if you want to be able to have two people working in the Kitchen at the same time, be sure the aisle b/w the sink/refrigerator and the island is wide enough -- 48" at a minimum. That's 48" b/w the refrigerator handle and island counter (unless it's a true built-in/fully integrated refrigerator, it will stick out 5 to 6 inches beyond the counters (for counter-depth), more if it's a standard-depth (9 to 10 inches)). Aisle widths are measured to/from the items that stick out the farthest, not cabinet-to-cabinet....See MoreOutdoor Kitchen on Sloped Deck
Comments (1)Yes you want it level- either build a platform on top of the tpo before the Ipe goes down if you are using stock pieces, or adjust the feet or cabinet base. Regardless it needs to be level for all the same reasons a kitchen has to be level...See MoreMark Bischak, Architect
