Sustainable design for the laboratory space that is building the sustainable technologies of the future.

Portugal's natural beauty and rich cultural heritage have always been a draw for tourists and residents alike. However, the country's susceptibility to natural disasters, including earthquakes and wildfires, poses a constant threat to its built environment and the safety of its people.    To combat this challenge, we are increasingly focusing on disaster-resistant architecture as a means of safeguarding our clients and their homes.   Building resilience in Portugal's architecture is not just a matter of necessity, it's a commitment to preserving the nation's cultural heritage and the safety of its people. By embracing sustainable materials, earthquake-resistant engineering, fire-resistant design, sustainable landscaping, CORE Architects is taking significant steps to fortify its buildings against natural disasters. As architects, we continue to innovate.   In our new blog post, we delve further into the techniques and initiatives we have undertaken in our studio to advance the design of homes resilient to natural disasters. Learn more by clicking the link below: https://lnkd.in/dfJw_nGu . . . #architectureblog #blogarchitecture #architecture #architecturelovers #architecture_best #architectureinlife #architects #urbanism #archdaily #modernarchitect #newblog #naturaldisaster #resistantarchitecture #algarve #ecofriendlyhome #sustainability

Teamwork and collaboration: two keys to how we best serve our clients and help them meet or exceed their goals

*APPEAL ALLOWED* We at Avalon are delighted to have secured consent at appeal for enhancements to Sideshore’s fantastic offer on Exmouth seafront! The proposals for a new multi-use hub building for Sideshore CIC provides purpose-built accommodation for the site operations, meeting space for use by local community groups and additional ancillary space to support events on the adjacent green space. The consent also secures WC facilities in a modest extension to the existing buildings all powered by renewable energy. The application was refused at Planning Committee against officer recommendation for approval in February 2023 on matters relating to impact on the character and appearance of the area. We submitted an appeal via the written representations route in June 2023 and are pleased to see that The Inspector fully agreed with our case that the proposed innovative, high quality and low impact design developed by HiltonBarnfield Architects was an appropriate response to the character of the site, it’s landscape setting and the constraints and opportunities it affords. The proposals have been underpinned by an ethos of delivering the lowest impact building as possible and incorporates reclaimed materials and “wildlife walls” into its façade while utilising light weight ground screw foundation design to minimise the need to break ground. A great result for talented multidisciplinary team including Sideshore CIC, Hilton Barnfield Architects, Coreus Group, Airey & Coles Consulting Engineers, Greengage and Avalon Planning & Heritage (Archaeology). #planning #planningapproval #planningappeal #consultancy #avalonplanningandheritage #sustainabledevelopment

Materials library: MarksBarfield Architects! Julia Barfield, Ian Crockford and Thomas Henderson Schwartz discuss how the #ClimateEmergency is reshaping the practice’s approach to design, construction and materiality. "We’ve been ‘on a journey’, as they say, and this has included introducing a strategy for change (based on the original Architects Declare strategy for change), where the practice has stated its environmental aims and then outlined the various stages/operations needed to achieve them," says Julia Barfield. "Our principal objective is to become a regenerative practice aligned to the planetary emergency, and where everything it does is set within planetary limits. This includes becoming climate literate and increasing our Passivhaus design capability." Read the full feature interview in the link below! ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/eqMemee7

Truly impressed by the Jacques Chaban-Delmas Bridge, showcasing the significance of effective project management in delivering complex mega-projects like this vertical lift bridge. #awp #leanconstruction #workfaceplanning #advancedworkpackaging #constructionmanagement

Dears, Excited to share my latest paper: "Embodied carbon comparison between vernacular architecture and modern techniques in Albania." It uncovers how traditional methods significantly reduce CO2 footprint compared to modern construction. Read it for insights on sustainable building practices. Best,
