This was written in a very confident way, but I can say with at least as much confidence that my house was mass produced in a factory and assembled locally in the middle of nowhere without any regard for local architecture.

- the_gorilla 2y agoThe statement is still wrong. Awnings and local architects are both extinct so clearly the architects didn't kill the awnings.
- 082349872349872 2y agoMy house has strategic overhangs (and trees with summer foliage to the south) leading to drastically different winter/summer insolation. (in addition, the dark stonework on the ground floor functions to passively clear light snow in spring and early winter) It was built in the XX, but according to local vernacular, which likely (we have a few examples surviving from the XIII) predates both the modern profession of "architect" and metal-framed awnings. (my friend the architect has plenty of local work, but maybe that's because we live in different countries?)
- rascul 2y agoLocal architects are certainly not extinct.
- ska 2y agoDefinitely not, although most laces I’ve lived they have a superficial at most involvement with single family homes.
