Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS) are actally very common

It's called EIFS, it has had mixed results over the years.

Pure idiocy. I’m no fan of EIFS or Hardie panel cladding, but these design standards effectively outlaw everything but brick.
Under Seattle's proposed Design Standards, these siding schemes aren't legal--(slats/siding/cladding longer than 16" in one direction, cladding less than 1/2" thick, stucco or plaster either, panel) and would require a Type 1 decision by the Director to be built.
Stop the micromanagement!!!

The traditional technique of craftsmen hand-working the finest EIFS into faux-brick.

Knows as EIFS. Styrofoam with a thin „stucco“ layer over.

Oh dear gawd. I was afraid something like this might happen. Can't wait for styrofoam Palladian, EIFS Jeffersonian and polyethylene Greek.

I wonder if it will attempt to be as reverent as this thing was:

Hopefully you're working on a plan to replace this dumpy old building with new condos featuring curtainless windows and EIFS cladding.

this is the google street view of the fake aqueduct to the CVS. I should take a pretentious black and white shot of it. I should note that this is not a walkway. It is just stucco and EIFS.

EIFS is expanded polystyrene with a sprayed on stucco coating. You can tap it with a key and tell if it is EIFS or real stucco on concrete or masonry.

This is commonly used in hotel construction. Some states prohibit it in residential use because of moisture problems.

Think of it as napalm.

I wonder about this: “…require more robust inspections of condo exteriors, which he said would reduce the risk of defects.” Can more inspections fix this, or is there something more fundamental about the U.S. way of building that makes leaks more of an issue?

Moral Panics (and PedoCon Theory is a Moral Panic) about the sexual exploitation of children, especially when they’re EIFs / Hasty Generalisations, materially harm the victims, inavoidably.

They divert resources from investigations, from rescues, from efforts to repair their lives. For witchhunts.

Holy shit I did not expect my favourite McMansion hell character to make it so far in life. Congratulations EIFS architectural features tacked on without ryhme or reason for making it into the oval office

The architect's bold proposal for a moisture-mitigating EIFS system on the Broadmoor Tower faces fierce scrutiny from city officials concerned about safety and code compliance.

Get the details!

Architect defends EIFS use on Broadmoor Tower; fire marshal, code differences remain key concerns
Project architects told council the proposed drainable EIFS assembly meets contemporary performance and NFPA 285 test criteria; residents and staff cited form-based code language discouraging EIFS on high-rise facades and the fire marshal asked for full-scale assembly documentation before signoff.

Recessive resistance against beet chlorosis virus is conferred by the eukaryotic translation initiation factor (iso)4E in Beta vulgaris
Eukaryotic translation initiation factors (eIFs) are important for mRNA translation but also pivotal for plant-virus interaction. Most of these plant-virus interactions were found between plant eIFs ....

This is EIFS, Exterior Insulated Finishing System. Not all are the same. Most US cities now require it be UL Listed with lower flame spread ratings, but there are additional installation techniques that have not been universally adopted.

Heaven forbid they ever lay their eyes on a Philly EIFS special

Planners think of EIFS (which used to really suck) when they think of stucco.
