Reference excerpt

The Mr. and Mrs. Louis P. Butenschoen House is a single-family home located at 1212 Helen Street in Midland, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.

History Louis Butenschoen was a technological chemical engineer at Dow Chemical Company. In 1941, the Butenschoens hired architect Alden B. Dow to design this house. They signed a contract with the Alden Dow Building Company to build it, and construction was completed in the summer of 1942. The Butenschoens lived in the house well into the 21st century.

Description The Butenschoen House is a single-story brick house. It is located on a spacious corner lot on the Midland Country Club, set well back from the road. It has an intersecting hip roof with deep eaves. The front facade has a broad blank garage wall on one end, is balanced by large living room windows on the other. A large central entrance is in between. A walkway runs from the driveway to the front entrance, sited under the protection of the eaves. A large, low concrete planter is located at the end of the walk.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Mr. and Mrs. Louis P. Butenschoen House

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Mr. and Mrs. Louis P. Butenschoen House claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Mr. and Mrs. Louis P. Butenschoen House before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Mr. and Mrs. Louis P. Butenschoen House ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Mr. and Mrs. Louis P. Butenschoen House

In research
Mr. and Mrs. Louis P. Butenschoen House appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry
Engineering practice reuses Mr. and Mrs. Louis P. Butenschoen House in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom
Mr. and Mrs. Louis P. Butenschoen House is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Alden B. Dow buildings, Buildings and structures completed in 1942, Midland, Michigan, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life
Look for Mr. and Mrs. Louis P. Butenschoen House outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
