enriquewx91 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I spend most of my weekends in downtown now. Bar and clubs line Main St and Market Sq, mostly I spend it here because my buddy from college is living at Aris now and it's near everything. The one gripe he has is that he has to drive to Midtown or Montrose for groceries but other than that he loves living there. His commute is walking downstairs and to the rail line and going to work in TMC. I've pondered moving myself but not with my salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is actually one of the better garages downtown in that it has a lower ceiling height so that it can accommodate many cars without being as obtrusive as a more modern garage. In a city where most people get downtown via car, this is significant. Otherwise I agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It merely states who is fully responsible legally speaking for the building. If something is to go wrong with the building than you turn to the "architect of record". I think in this case Munoz + Albin are more the design firm and House + Partners are putting together to Construction Documents and will be managing the project. Sometimes its reverse though.

Luminare Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 3 minutes ago, H-Town Man said: Ok, thanks. So difference between broad strokes creativity and nitty gritty. Thats a good way to put it. Again it just depends on the focus of the project, the firm, the client, etc... In other circumstances with firms that don't have offices in Texas, but still provide a design, they may not have anyone in their office that is licensed in Texas and normally will partner up with a local firm. Local firm stamps the project and is "architect of record", but the designers of the project still get recognition. Another situation is a firm that has some interesting ideas for a building type they are working on, but doesn't have the experience in assembling the drawings and details or hasn't had experience in getting that particular building type permitted and will partner with another firm for that reason. There are a ton more, but these are common occurrences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
