minus-squareCelloMike@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoIf engineers had our way all buildings would look like this This is the ideal building. You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like 😆
minus-squarerecklessengagement@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoThis is what’s known in the Midwest as “tornado bait”
minus-squareRubberElectrons@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoDogshit R-factor, poor impact resistance, I mean that’s the obvious stuff lol Peak performance is highly dependent on who’s defining it 😝
minus-squareKusimulkku@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoBrick? Pfft. Concrete elements all the way. There’s no equal.
minus-squarePilon23@feddit.dklinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoMind explaining why this is peak performance? ELI5 if possible
minus-squareCelloMike@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoEngineers love these things because they’re real easy to design, and very efficient in usable volume vs materials (which is why they’re used for every warehouse/big store/factory) Obviously not great for living in or anything but that’s the joke :)
minus-squareAngryCommieKender@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoWhy not continue the brick shell at least to eye level? Why does it stop at waist level?
minus-squaregrue@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoThe real question is, why is there any brick at all? (The answer is almost certainly that somebody other than the engineer imposed the requirement.)
minus-squareAllYourSmurf@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoBrick waterproof. Brick termite-proof. Brick fireproof.
minus-squaregrue@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoPanel same (probably, depending what kind of panel).
minus-square...m...@ttrpg.networklinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month ago…masonry wainscots look tacky-as-heck but they provide impact and moisture resistance where it’s needed most…
minus-squaregrue@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoIs masonry really cheaper than using a slightly thicker gauge of steel and a decent epoxy paint for the bottom few feet?
minus-squareWanpieserino@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoMy neighbour shop looks exactly like that. It went bankrupt cuz it’s ugly as fuck
minus-squareLetsdothisok@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month ago“Shop”? Depending on the type - and I don’t want to jump to conclusions - I doubt it being ugly was a major part of its bankruptcy.

Brick expensive :(
panel cheap :)

…it’s far more durable, mostly…
