Concrete design enhancing architecture

[Asher Kelman]

I am impressed with architects now moving away from forming the expected square pavers out of poured concrete and instead being bold.

It could be that these two houses used the same architect as the houses do seem related.

Alternatively, it’s likely that once a departure was made from the usual square pavers, this use of paving geometry to compliment the house lines became an obvious design asset to follow!

Hi, Asher,

Nothing makes me feel so old as seeing California license plates that start with "8".

Best regards,

How does that work?

BTW, what about the architecture, LOL!

Hi, Asher,

How does that work?

Well, in 1980 California instituted a new scheme for the assignment of license plate number passenger cars (and I suspect for certain other vehicle classes). The new format numbers were initially of the form:

1ABC123

As each series was exhausted, the initial digit was advanced. Thus we can easily tell in what year a certain number was assigned. The initial digit "8" was supposedly first assigned in 2017; "9" was supposedly first assigned in 2024.

After this plan is exhausted (expected for 2026), the next numbers assigned will be of the format: 123ABC1.

But it seems just the other day when I first saw a plate of the (modern) "1ABC123" format.

Best regards,

Doug

Doug,

That may be true, but it’s also appears that the subject of the thread has not enough inherent value to rise above car number plate designations to even be noted in passing!

It looks like I may have erred in what I thought was likely to be of artistic interest!

Still you retrieved some worth of my efforts, so they are not for naught!
