#AI #architecture Insights from Germany Planning applications that use #AI are gaining momentum, but it seems that information for architects, urban planners, landscape architects and interior designers is hard to find. The Bundesarchitektenkammer therefore compiled the 10 most important questions and answers about A.I. in architecture, which offer basic information and an initial, practical orientation on the topic. The working group, led by the BAK Berlin, is accompanying the debates on the use of artificial intelligence in planning and construction. The group is working on exploring the potential of using #artificialintelligence or machine learning in planning and developing a general recommendation for action for the professional group.

Yesterday, Sam Lubell published a thought-provoking and informative piece in the New York Post about #passivehouse architecture. This type of architecture - based on German Passive House Institute principles - is a quickly-growing approach to building that sharply reduces energy use by going simple: employing techniques like #continuousinsulation, air-tight #sealing, and top-quality windows; making better use of both sun and shade and bringing in fresh air through advanced filtering.  Katrin Klingenberg, director of Phius (Passive House USA) says that a Passive House uses between 50 to 80% less energy than a typical building, depending on variables like size and location. That can add up to a lot of money. While many exterior cladding materials can be used in this type of #architecture, #EIFS is literally wired for it. In one of the projects mentioned in the article, noted architect Chris Benedict highlighted one of her #affordablehousing projects in #Bushwick. Knickerbocker Commons is clad in a geometric pattern of EIFS panels, which serve simultaneously as cladding and insulation, assuring a constant temperature and removing the risk that condensation or other problems can occur inside the walls. The project offered roughly 70% in energy savings while costing about the same as typical construction. Moreover, EIFS is a much more cost-compelling cladding solution than #oldfashioned materials like #brick, #stone and #masonry. In fact, recent data from RSMeans Data from Gordian points out that on a 15 story, newly constructed #apartment building in #Manhattan * purchasing and installing #curtainwall costs 37% more than it does for #EIFS cladding on a comparable building * purchasing and installing #brick costs 62.5% more than doing the same for an EIFS-clad building When factoring in the windows, using #EIFS can save building owners over $1M v. brick and curtain wall on this type of building. With continuous insulation integrated into a singular wall system that can mimic brick, stone, #wood, #metal, #stucco and multiple claddings, there has never been a better time to consider EIFS for a #newconstruction or #retrofit project.

The nomination of the Hybrid Flax Pavilion for German Sustainability Award is not just a milestone for the project but a beacon of hope for sustainable architecture. 🌱 The Hybrid Flax Pavilion, developed by the Cluster of Excellence IntCDC | University of Stuttgart “Integrative Computer-Based Planning and Building for Architecture” exemplifies how we can harness biobased building materials and resource-efficient structural systems. This innovative research building has now made it to the shortlist of Europe’s largest award for ecological and social engagement. As Professor Achim Menges, the spokesperson for IntCDC, states, “With projects like the Hybrid Flax Pavilion, we aim to showcase solutions for future-oriented planning and construction while enabling a two-way knowledge transfer between research and construction companies.” More about: https://lnkd.in/eQzepKZX This recognition underscores our commitment to sustainable practices in architecture, and we eagerly await the results this autumn. 🏗️✨ The urgency of combating climate change necessitates a shift away from traditional materials like steel and concrete towards biobased alternatives wherever feasible. The Hybrid Flax Pavilion serves as an exemplary model of how we can utilize the annually renewable flax plant for regenerative building practices, thereby conserving the precious resource of wood. 🌍💚 👀 Just one more event tip: you can still admire the #HybridFlaxPavillion at the Landesgartenschau Wangen im Allgäu 2024 GmbH until 6 October. Another research building from the #UniversityofStuttgart, the Wangen Tower, can also be seen there. Landkreis Ravensburg #Sustainability #Architecture #Innovation

Complex design requirements of public projects can be a challenging task. Especially dealing with the room data (criteria) sheets. You as an architect often face strict regulations that limit creative freedom in educational environments. 👷 As architects ourselves we know the struggle. That is why we want to show you a way how to automate room data sheet corrections and compliance checks, freeing your time from time-consuming tasks.⏰ Take the freedom to focus on what you do best - designing innovative and inspiring learning spaces. As a result, you can speed up your workflow, reduce errors, and increase overall project efficiency. 📈 Read our article and save hours of manual work! https://lnkd.in/e9Aa97ec
