Whyyy would people put tiles in that way? Those are the ones that get me. The whole floor/wall/whatever should be stripped out and redone properly.

the pain...

in fact, ocd-triggering non-concistencies are very fascinating to me, because as an illustrator, they aid in replicating precisely that half-assedness often seen in designs and stuff. Assymetrical buildings and such... :D on my own, or for my own sake, I could never allow it :D But when imitating reality, I must try to include that stuff! :D

Some asymmetrical architecture is really nice. Bad tile jobs are annoying though.

This is a church less than a mile from my house and I drive by it a lot and it drives me nuts.  On the left is easy to see  but on the right there is a dark patch  towards the top. :zombiefuck:  Next time I think they will check the lot numbers on the siding :zoinks:

Not saying the end result is necesarily bad - but it is something my mind will not allow :D

For example, if I try to design a space-craft, or a building, or something, for some project, my mind obsessively needs things to be symmetrical "in balance", in a right order, etc

while in reality, there is often much more assymetry - and I also notice a lot of designs for movies etc, of space craft or buildings, features this assymetry as well.

To me assymetry and disorder is counter intuitive, something I must conciously remind myself and include, for the sake of realism

I see, just saying you can't personally create it. Some of the things I design are asymmetrical; usually with lots of curves, it's nice, but it's all in my head so it doesn't matter anyway. :laugh:

Designing practical things (tools, vehicles, buildings) is something I am eager to improve on, significantly and fast :D Since I need a lot of it for comic-book drawing. Everything from humble wooden houses, to large complexes, I find it very challenging, particularily because I must imagine very foreign mindsets from my own - as they have built something.
I am often too practical, and tend to end up with very "industrial" looks for most my designs, again neglecting a whole array of other potential solutions :I most of which feel unpractical, illogical or counter-intuitive to me

some solutions are simply ugly, and uglyness is often a very difficult thing to "allow" when making designs :D

symmetry has it's place too. It's good that you draw yours. Mine is just a relaxation technique, practiced since childhood, designing architecture. There's a cylinder in my head you would like, very symmetrical. Recently noticed I haven't done it in some time, not sure why; maybe ran out of ideas. :laugh:

Oh, some of those drive me crazy. I am with Pyraxis - it should be retiled. What were they thinking when they laid it?

Thinking they needed coffee or so.
What amazes me is that the one who paid for it did not demand retiling.

But then, the tiles in my kitchen are all messed up, broken even, within a week after tiling. The housing company thought it was weird that I was not content with it. They chose not to get it redone. I'm renting. So, there I am, with five long cracks in my tiles, from all the way up to all the way down.

Bah.

They broke within a week? I would have bugged the landlord into having it redone.

I had been bugging the men tiling it, because I knew it would go wrong. They did not follow the schematic drawings I had seen. They said plans had changed. I said the plans made sense, and if they did not follow them, my tiles would come loose very soon. They said the tiles would not come loose. They were right, the glue was too strong, so the tiles broke. The inspector of the housing company did not want things to be redone. He saw no problems. The only thing he wanted to offer was cutting grouts where the cracks were, and then fill the cracks with silicon. I answered that in that case, I preferred cracks.

It's surprising the housing company wouldn't demand it be corrected properly since they're the ones who paid for it.

And mine.

I think this particular inspector just did not like to bother. There were more strange things he thought perfectly normal, when I moved in here.

But, the house is well insulated, comfortable and affordable. So, it will have to do. I did demand they wrote things down about the cracks. I don't want to be held accountable when I ever will move out.

A wise policy. How easily they forget.
