BC Building Safety Branch seeking Kelowna Input


The Building and Safety Policy Branch is seeking public input on three proposals for changes to Provincial building regulations:

High-Efficiency Toilets - Building Code requirement for high-efficiency toilets (including dual-flush units) and urinals in new construction. The requirement supports greening the BC Building Code and Living Water Smart, BC's water plan.

Solar Hot Water Ready - Local government option to require Solar Hot Water Ready construction for new single family houses, which supports the 100,000 Solar Roofs Initiative and the Province's commitment to reduce GHG emissions.

Letters of Assurance - Update to the Building Code's Letters of Assurance. The update responds to industry requests and supports the Modernization Strategy's shift toward more clearly defined
responsibilities and accountabilities.

It is important that we hear from you. You are invited to comment on these proposals through the public review until September 14, 2009. The public review is available online through the Building and Safety Policy Branch website at:

http://www.housing.gov.bc.ca/building/consultation/

Please feel free to forward this information to your colleagues and other stakeholders.  We look forward to receiving your
feedback.

Best regards,

Modern Furniture Design (livingroom set)

















        • We all have it and we all use it, but some of us place more importance on furniture in our homes. What makes a Chippendale stand out from another piece of nicefurnitureisn’t just the name. Of course the name can add that extra finesse to the piece, but you have to delve into the history offurniture making to understand how makers such as this built up their name and reputation. An apprentice in the olden days could take between seven to ten years to be considered anything like worthy of the title junior carpenter. It took years more to hone their skill into an art that produced the finest shapes,colourscontours and fretwork that combined into a masterpiece.

Modern Furniture Design (Isamu Noguchi)

Furniture Design


Isamu Noguchi's influence on Modern Furniture
Every design is different, and every designer is different. For some, the beauty of  is that it is offered in 100 colours. Others would never consider using  in anything other than white.
 Its colour palette includes whites, neutrals, pastels, earthy hues, dark and black tones and bright solids. Some colours are offered with interesting aesthetics – such as veining, ‘lustra’ or added translucency - or with varying degrees of graining.
 And if more choice is needed, DuPont offers a custom colour service, allowing designers to match, exactly, a customer’s corporate colour scheme, or devise an original colour for a specific design.

Furniture influence by Isamu Noguchi is still seen in today's products. Born in Los Angeles in 1904, Noguchi spent the majority of his life in America and Japan. An early life experience which later lead to sculpture and furniture design began in Chigasaki, Japan in 1913 where he began an apprenticeship as a carpenter's aid. At the early age of almost nine he began working with his hands to create things.In the summer of 1922 Isamu began an apprenticeship with sculptor Gutzon Borglum in Connecticut. In 1924 he took evening classes in sculpture at the Leonardo Da Vanci Art School. His talent was recognized early and in 1927 he won the John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship which allowed him to travel to Paris and Europe and further refine his skills.

Luxury Furniture Design by Richard Frinier

Outdoor Furniture

There is no mistaking that Dedon is one of the top manufacturers ofluxury patio furniture on the market. Each piece is constructed by hand of the finest wicker around. You can see the level of detail that goes into each piece. I always admire their amazing designs and think of how dramatically different they are than the old standby plastic stackable chair! The designs are the creation of Richard Frinier, a California designer. Richard's canopy chair has become a symbol of what patio furniture can be. In the pictures of their products, there is a canopy chair in the first image. That is the Orbit chair which retails for $7,800. Dedon's products are truly for the luxury oriented.

Modern Furniture Design (Digital Technology)

Luxury Chair

Thanks to digital technology, designers don’t need to be in or near the factories where their work is produced, and they have far greater control over prototyping. That’s why British furniture design has flourished in the last two decades after a very long drought, when it was hampered by the poor quality and lack of imagination of British manufacturers. The first wave of successful British furniture designers, like Jasper Morrison, worked principally in other countries before securing commissions in Britain, and they didn’t have government grants to help them.
