A collection of inspiring homes for design enthusiasts that puts renewable “mass timber” front and center as a unique, and beautiful, solution to the challenges of climate change. While headlines are focusing on mass timber for commercial “plyscrapers,” here are creative, stylish solutions for smaller residential projects that retain the material’s carbon-capturing and strength benefits. By focusing on a few handpicked examples of single- and multifamily projects through an architectural and cultural lens, the author adds a vital dimension to the story of timber that’s stronger than steel—a story that’s still in the early stages of being written by architects and builders but will soon be the leading edge of design and construction. Each of the 12 global projects is accompanied by detailed stories capturing the genesis and challenges of the project, as well as floor plans and full-color architectural photographs. Several of the projects included here were designed by courageous architects who built their own houses first using mass timber—ideal advisers for clients looking to navigate using prefabricated engineered wood products. The projects included here faced the formidable variables for mass timber—from sourcing to shipping to transportation to renting the crane, to coordinating the delivery, to finding a skilled contractor who can physically assemble the panels. However, the reward is also clear in this timely look at a green material everyone will be seeing more of in the coming years.

The reformation formed a new era in the history of the world, and was one of those mighty revolutionary events which have a most extensive and lasting effect on the affairs and destinies of mankind. But men have been ever since greatly divided in their ideas and judgments concerning it. While some have hailed it as a most happy, admirable, and glorious event, fraught with heaven's choicest blessings, it has been deemed by others, and even by a large majority of the inhabitants of christendom, as an exceedingly unfortunate, pernicious, and execrable occurrence, which has produced all manner of mischief, and, like the opening of Pandora's box, filled the world with calamities and miseries innumerable. The learned and the wise, as well as the illiterate and fly foolish, have been found among each of these opposite and contending parties: their respective opinions and allegations must therefore be entitled to a serious and candid hearing. But it is not intended here to go deeply or largely into this disputed subject: nor would it well accord with the plan or design of this publication. Some cursory hints, however, on a few of the most prominent facts will not, it is presumed, be either impertinent or uninstructive.

A growing area in the sharing economy, intentional communities (co-living, communal living, and cohousing projects) are explored in this timely survey via architecture, public policy, sociology, and sustainability. In recent years, the Atlantic, Forbes, Time, and Curbed have reported on the growth of intentional communities-collective housing alternatives that initially gained popularity in the United States in the early 1990s and originated in Denmark in the 1960s. Featuring fifteen to twenty contemporary projects that address the challenges and benefits of shared resources and spaces, Intentional Communities addresses a growing population: according to the Pew Research Center, nearly one in three adults in the United States lives in a shared household. From Copenhagen to Washington, DC, this survey covers architecture, public policy, design, lifestyle, culture, and environmental sustainability.

Overwhelming Demonstrative Evidence Synopsis 08/06/2021This document is a full disclosure of experiencing Overwhelming Demonstrative Evidence. This ODE demands a total reinterpretation of consciousness itself and our place in the universe. This first-person disclosure is caveated by deep concerns and reservations regarding the primary objective--to Do No Harm. Meditative instructions along with interpretative guidance are therefore provided to facilitate the reader's ability to fully self-validate this disclosure and as a result, to subsequently access a more profound meaning and purpose to one's life.This simple process of validation begins with the establishment of a clean slate, Tabula Rasa, as originally formulated and described in John Locke's essay Concerning Human Understanding in 1690 (and dating back further to Aristotle). Subsequent Gestalt Shifts, arising directly from the meditation process and which encompassing the global elements of form, meaning, and value as previously outlined in 1912 by Maxheimer, Wolfgang Kohler, and Kurt Koffka, are sequentially triggered to ever-higher states of being and related conscious awareness.This resultant new global awareness yields staggering revelations, unveiled at each successive stage in the Gestalt Shifting process, as it builds upon the previous level of understanding. These revelations include answers to (1) The philosophical questions of Why is there both Something and Nothing--being the zero-sum reality of the Yin-Yang of the universe or multiverse itself, (2) Why consciousness is All That Is, and (3) We all are one, differentiated only by the unique programming of our seemingly separate life experiences.
