    Binging all of these video. Always been a mystery.
  • You are an amazing teacher/ instructor. As a visual leaner I am loving your videos. Thanks !

    This is strict PARAMETRIC ARCHITECTURE. A grasshopper definition can simply give the result programming a basic algorithm. Outstanding channel.
  • @legokak
    Thanks this was really clear. You saved me some time searching through the code while studying for my license exam. I know that's it's best to understand the code fully but this is a great way to quickly understand these requirements.

    I love your videos. I have one suggestion. Could you create one video on a step by step process to work out a Life Safety Plan ? There you need not get into details of individual topics for eg. Travel Distance calculations. Those videos you already have made. You could just direct the viewer to the link of the related video like you do otherwise. The purpose of this video would be to give the viewer an idea of the process of creating a Life Safety Plan for permit. Essentially it would be a binder for many of the videos you have already made.

    Section 1009.3 is also important for stairway width. 1009.3 states that stairways must be 48" minimum wide handrail to handrail if the building is not sprinklered. 44" is the absolute minimum if the building is sprinklered.

    I never quite understood how to calculate egress widths and in school, it wasn't taught as clearly as you've explained it. Thank you for your video! For the next video, could you show how to calculate exit access travel distance?
  • thanks a ton for all of your videos. could you please make a video on how to navigate IBC. maybe differences between zoning and codes? when it comes to code what comes first or which to follow IBC, state code, jurisdiction code?

    Amazing video! Thanks! You should creaste a "Join" button, your content it is really helpful for Architects! Thank you again!
  • @mrafigh
    Great video! You discussed exit width of the stair based on occupancy of the same floor the exit stair is located. I thought the exit width also had to be calculated based on the occupant of the above floors. Is that not correct?

    Hello, Thank you so much for these short videos. I find this very helpful for refreshing my basics. I cannot find the first 10 videos. Can you upload them too?
  • @marbedesigns
    I love your videos, they are super easy to understand the subject. Can you do a video of how to calculate a layout of stairs (stairs calculation)? Please.
