Material Joints (+ why they matter)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 янв 2025
- For a young architect, the realization that lines on paper represent actual physical materials is transformational. An architect's work is to infuse these seemingly simple intersections between materials with meaning and beauty.
To illustrate how architects artfully compose joints (and the different types) I dissect two projects, which differ in their execution but support the same thesis: that even the tiniest of joints matter to architecture.
Concepts:
Articulation
Function
Spatial definition
Rainscreen
Composition
Pattern + Form
Orientation
Sealing

great that there is an architect who is open to share his knowledge, great stuff thank!
I did framing and finishing for a number of years. I have been a certified A&P mechanic for 34 years. I firmly believe that engineers and architects should do the hands on work for 2 years before they start designing anything.
FYI. I absolutely love this channel. I have learned a lot!!
cheers Will...I couldn't agree more. And, actually, I think the trades can benefit from learning about the soft skills that critical design theory teaches as well. I attended a program as an intern some 25 years ago called "Masonry Camp" held on Swan's Island here in Maine. Intern Architects traded places with Journeyman Masons for a week. The masons designed structures, completely the construction documents and were subject to all the pressures of budget, site and various agency "critiques." The Intern Architects were tasked with interpreting and constructing the structures the masons had designed. It wasn't perfect - as you might imagine - but both groups left with a better appreciation for the skills required of each position. Thanks for watching!
We need more of these Eric, thank you!
Loving your channel for information and learning to love architecture. I also love your cinematography on how you present every topic rolled into one great story telling! Two thumbs up!
Why is the camera zoomed in so much?
to show detail
Nice breakdown on all the beautiful highlites of these homes
Really great ,as a young an Architect thank so much 30x40 Design Workshop Studio for always sharing. :3
Your shared knowledge is a true treasure. Thank you!
Another GREAT video! Extremely informative and helpful. Thanks for your efforts and willingness to share your knowledge. It is very much appreciated!
Hello, I'm learning a lot from your videos, i'm always able to find useful and practical information.
+Paulo Poffo cheers...!
I liked #1 but it is a very common look in northern California. #2 however was pretty spectacular, especially the kitchen, stair, and bath photos. Very nice!
These videos are great. Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks am following.....
Dude, why are so close to the camera?
You are the best architect
hi 30x40 it would be great if you could show some section details of the presented case studies and do such videos again. please that would be like a great great video.
Please can you do a video on Roofs?
Can you credit the examples shown, I would like to see more pictures of the projects. Thanks for sharing!
I love these videos!!
What are your thoughts on angle shaped architecture and their particular way of solving the structure? or architecture that manipulates the topography it's on? Alvar Aalto kind of stuff... Man, the possibilities for these videos are endless LOL
+fabroc8 great ideas, thanks! Will keep them in mind as I build out the channel content...
Your the best architect
Who could give an idea for a facade..😥😥 i really need help to render a facade for my home
That extreme closeup made me nervous lol
Feels like he's judging you
As a musician first, I think of articulation in art and architecture as an extension of the definition we tend to use in music performance. If I were playing, say, the Ride of the Valkyries on my trumpet, the fanfare wouldn't sound right if I played the notes with a sloshy, slurred sound - the rhythm would get lost, and I wouldn't be able to achieve the bombastic, regal sound. On the other hand, something like Ariel's song from The Little Mermaid when Ursula captures her voice is supposed to have a rich, flowing, almost overlapping sound with few breaks between the notes. In the first case, separating the notes to give a sharp, pointed rhythm is called staccato, while in the second, that flowing, organic sound is called legato - and the difference in how you separate (or don't) the notes in a passage of music is called the articulation you use to play it.
The slip geometry of the Oregon house reminds me of the distinct, separated staccato of the fanfare in the Ride of the Valkyries, with the striking contrast in color, orientation, and texture of the plaster and wood sections of the exterior - and in both cases, the individual pieces are meshed perfectly together into a cohesive whole. The street side of the North Carolina house seems more like the legato articulation of Ariel's song, where the color and orientation are the same, and only small gestures are used to divide the space to add some expression - that way, the end result is a seamless field, but with enough character to lend the elements visual clarity and a gestalt (greater than the sum of its parts) effect. In music as in architecture, articulation has to be done while treading the line between separating elements to the point of feeling disjoint, and blurring their borders until they meld together into an immaterial conglomeration, and these were great examples that push the opposite bounds of the spectrum without shattering the effect. Well done!
Your videos are just too good
dude your videos are really good, but don't you think you need to sit back a little. That super zoomed face covering half of the screen is disturbing
Lol
you the best out there man
It does feel like your face is joining with my phone screen in the beginning 😅😅 very eloquent presentation indeed. in my practice usually we call it material interfacing instead of joints, which I guess will work as well.
its beautiful nice work..
I just love this... thank you
Dears, which platform do you use to suit the materials?
The 2nd house in Charlotte NC is fabulous. Who is the architect?
GREAT !
Hi Eric. I appreciate your videos. They're very informative and helpful. What are your thoughts on SIPS, structural insulated panels ? I'm considering using them in a home that we will have built. I want to build the most energy efficient home we can feasibly build utilizing sips, passive solar energy and a simple small design (Im thinking 1000-1500 sq ft with a shed roof). There is a local manufacturer of sips in my hometown of Alaska. -Jen
+Jennifer Williams ...glad you're enjoying the videos. I'll plan to make one on SIPS soon. I really like the product (and have used them a few times) but they're a hidden driver of costs on many other subcontracts related to the work that it's not often that I can justify using them. More details in the upcoming video...
Subtitulos en "Español" ¡Por Favor!🙏
Beautiful examples, but every reveal joint requiring slow, careful craftsmanship is spending the client’s money by leaving no margin for error. Overlapping materials allow for thermal movement and don’t require every joint to be perfect.
what makes a good architect ?
Sadly, In modern time, all u need is to know how to bullshit.
@@willtolife9323 And make sure you follow the guidelines you've been given.
hi.. its cool.
I love your videos and have learned a lot of valuable knowledge, but you need to zoom out 😂
😀
this is drugs to me
But it ugly
30x40 you realize that no1 looks at those things; ppl look at the bills and tv; they dont care about shadow lines and other fancy stuff; build a cube, insulate from the outside, add windows on the S side and dont make them at N and you re done and their bills will low
MhUser
That is a very ignorant thing to say. A lot of these details are there to subconsciously maximize comfort to the dweller.
A window on the south should not be default either. I live in Texas where a window on the south should be limited and carefully thought through or those people only looking at the bills and tv will wonder why they hate their lives.
