Think Beyond Material Lifespan
Understand why a hundred-year building does not mean every component has to last a hundred years.
Design for Repair and Replacement
Learn why components should be repairable or replaceable without unnecessarily destroying other parts of the building that could have remained.
Prepare the Building for Change
Think about whether the building can adapt as materials, equipment, technology, owners, and needs change over time.
About Stick Thirty-One — The Century
A long-lasting building does not need every part to last forever. Stick Thirty-One introduces The Century, using one hundred years as a horizon for thinking about how buildings are designed, repaired, changed, and understood over time. It is not a prediction or guarantee that a building or component will last one hundred years. The course focuses on repairability, reversibility, adaptability, service life, and replacement paths. The goal is not to create a building that never needs work. It is to make sure the work it eventually needs does not unnecessarily destroy the parts that should have lasted. The key questions become: What would end this? Can it be repaired? Can it change? And will anybody know what it is?
