Haveli doors are more than just architectural elements; they are cultural artifacts that reflect the history and traditions of the regions where they originated.  https://lnkd.in/enU_uh-K

What fabulous architecture and interiors. These images are so inspiring. Full of intricate details.

I do believe that street art adds #value to a property. We need more #publicart, we need #art and #optimism in the streets, in the neighbourhoods. https://lnkd.in/ddW3XNH6

This looks right. I should have been looking at the museum and exhibits but nooooooooooo. I'm blessed with Inspectors Neck and always look up. I wonder what UL rating the ol "rag in a cast in" achieves. Frankly I think this cast in is actually a chunk of sch 40 PVC anyway.... #3m #internationalfirestopcouncil #IFC #firestop #firestopping #firesafety #lifesafety #continuingeducation #constructioneducation #construction #buildinginnovation #buildbetter #buildsmart #passivefireprotection #codeenforcement #buildingcodes #firemarshal #buildinginspections #contractoreducation #constructionmaterials #buildingmaterials #kcmo #inspectors #codesinspectors #firemashals

Our latest book, “How can we live together?,” is now out – see link below for more info and to purchase the book. This publication documents the GHETTO exhibition, which was displayed at the Museum of Vancouver between August 23, 2023 and January 1, 2024. GHETTO originally exhibited at the European Cultural Centre (ECC) 2021 Venice Architecture Biennale and Art Gallery of Ontario (2022) before travelling to Vancouver.     For the MOV exhibit, GHETTO proposed a theoretical rezoning project in Vancouver’s False Creek and sought to encourage meaningful dialogue on our collective responsibility to care for one another through the creation of inclusive cities. “How can we live together?” highlights the public input on a housing survey, which was gathered from over 15,000 visitors during the Vancouver exhibition.

And so that’s what the survey was trying to measure… to what extent are people self-interested, and to what extent are they altruistic in terms of their aspirations to help people who have less than them?’”  – excerpt from essay by Kerry Gold

“San Francisco itself is art, above all literary art. Every block is a short story, every hill a novel. Every home a poem, every dweller within immortal. That is the whole truth.” - William Saroyan Just like the city itself, every property is a unique work of art, where every block holds a captivating short story, and every hill unravels a novel of architectural beauty. #BanCal #BanCalPropertyManagement #PropertyManagementSF #PropertyManagement #SanFrancisco #California #QOTD #Quote #TenantManagement

What is a high-quality space? With the help of an AI-supported image analysis, Wüest Partner was able to assess the perceived quality of spaces and use a regression model to identify the key factors for a positive perception of public spaces. Particularly interesting: Historic buildings have a major impact on the perceived quality of public spaces. This shows how important the harmonious integration of new buildings into an existing historical and cultural context is: in other words, maintaining the genius loci.
