Naarden, Netherlands, and surrounding countryside

I was staying in Amsterdam, and it was A Lot. So over the weekend, I took some public transit road trips. This one was to Naarden, solely because it looked cool on the map.

The trip out took a long time, because I was depending on paper maps and made some bad choices. The bus portions of trip were delightful, though, cruising through flat farmland, sunlight slanting through the trees, fat sheep grazing. The perfect antidote to city burnout.

I arrived in the more modern part of Naarden, and walked a couple miles to the fortified old city center. It was a nice little town, in what I've decided is the model for all nice little Dutch towns: kebab shop, plenty of trees and pedestrians, modestly sized buildings, a mix of new and old. Just before I crossed the bridge over into old town, I encountered a large fenced enclosure containing two emu and several small, unidentified ungulates. There was a little sign saying not to feed the animals, but it was otherwise completely isolated from anything that might give it context: no signage, no farmhouse or other buildings nearby. One each emu and ungulate came over to visit with me, but they weren't talking.

It's hard, from ground level, to see the star shape of the fortifications, but they rise impressively above the wide moat. The one-lane road in had an open gate and empty guardbooth, so it's still defensible.

The tiny old town inside the fortifications was tiny, and old. It's very much still a residential area, with perfectly maintained buildings, plenty of street parking, a small school, a home furnishings shop, and a few cafés and pubs. And a huge, imposing church in the center of course. I only saw one other little group of friends that looked to be tourists, everyone else seemed like they were just hanging out in their own neighborhood, on a Sunday afternoon. Buildings were low, mostly painted in traditional dark, high-gloss colors. In addition to brass doorknockers, many had little, sculpted metal shutter holders. 

Of the two museums Google maps showed, one was closed for renovations, and the other I couldn't find, so I only got to absorb the culture I could find on the sidewalks. The best thing I found, really in all of the Netherlands, was an odd shop (de Oude Markt). It looked as if it had existed since the last rebuilding of the city in the 1600s, perhaps under the same proprietor. He was very old, spoke not a word of English, and fit perfectly among the crowded wares. The ceiling was entirely hung with pots and kettles. Shelves held maps, carvings, glassware. Picture frames, both with and without contents, hung in clusters from the wall. Nothing made sense and it was perfect. Overcome with joy, I bought a coffee carafe shaped like a gourd, with little sculpted vines around the stem at top.

Dreamed Jesse and I went to China. We took a plane that turned into a subway that was bright and yellow and hardly anyone was on it. Other passengers faced away from us. It was a smooth ride.

It was springtime. We were driving the countryside in a little burgundy sedan from the 80s, looking at a map that wouldn’t quite work right. The cities kept moving. We were in a broad flat valley prairie surrounded by unfathomable mountains. The landscape was an expanse of golden crops. The sky was a blanket of purple cloud that seemed far away but also close. There was a building in the distance. We turned down the drive.

The building was a Maoist city-mall, Grey and brutal and alone. In the Revolution, I somehow knew, armies of comrades lived entire lives without leaving its gates. They were fed, clothed, taught, trained, had children, grew up and died at the mall.

We pulled up to the gate. The guard took our gun and my Green Card. He said we could have them both back when we left. I didn’t like that. We gave him cash, he returned our stuff and let us leave.

We turned around at a loop behind the guardbooth. A woman in a black pantsuit was standing up the drive, looking run ragged by the horde of maybe twenty other women, dressed in yellow uniforms—maybe prison jumpsuits—who advanced on her. One brandished a tube of mauve lipstick, fully extended, like evidence. It matched the pantsuit’s smeared face. It didn’t look good.

At the hotel, we drank beer and ate dumplings.

The Importance of Wind Load Safety

Building Codes: Wind Loads

In order for a structure to be sound and secure, the foundation, roof, and walls must be strong and wind resistant. When building a structure it is important to calculate wind load to ensure that the structure can withstand high winds, especially if the building is located in an area known for inclement weather. The main wind force resisting system of a building is a vital component. While wind…

Why Modular Construction will Continue to Grow

1. Quality of Materials

The quality of modular building materials has improved and continues to improve, which will make this method more attractive going forward. Modular buildings are innately stronger than traditional ones because each individual section is designed to withstand the stress of transportation and assembly.

2. Advancements in Prefabrication

Modular construction continues to…

Labor Efficiency of Modular Construction

• Modular buildings are 60% to 90% completed “offsite” in a factory controlled environment, and transported and assembled at the final building site.

• Because construction of the building can occur simultaneously with the site work (or even before the site work), the traditional construction schedule is significantly compressed using modular.

• This allows for most projects to be completed 30…
