Guys, every time you write about Rhythm, I start singing Miami Sound Machine! 😛
Sidewalk architects, eh? This is why I never buy anything from the UM store. Also the outdated logo-age.
Jeramey, quite question. Do you mean wood framing is only suitable for 4 stories atop whatever concrete base/foundation is built, or 4 stories total? (Confused, as North End IV and other 4+ story buildings have used wood framing)
Quick*
@Jerad – My understanding from discussing the issue with Gokhman, is that it’s four contiguous floors in the building. I would have to go look at construction photos, but I assume many buildings use a concrete floor as the base with four floors of wood above.
Thanks, Jeramey. Riding my bike home yesterday, I became more puzzled, since the North End phase IV is 5 continuous floors above the concrete poured first floor ceiling. Either way, seems like The Rhythm should be able to withstand a nuclear blast.
@Jerad – Interesting observation. I’ll follow up. I would guess the rules are a bit more complicated than I was led to believe.
