As per the client brief, we had to curate and design an office building built on two adjacent plots. Therefore, instead of going for two separate structures, we resorted to using the facets of Fluid Architecture and create a unanimous facade that is flexibly connected yet separate. This idea gave rise to a sleek glass corridor for an interesting commute between both buildings. . . #buildingarchitecture #fluidarchitecture #officearchitecture #officebuilding #architecture #facadedesign

The green future: trends in sustainable architecture Harmonizing aesthetics and durability The evolution towards innovative practices that embrace aesthetics and environmental responsibility redesigns architectural designs. Innovative solutions minimize the environmental impact by promoting a balance between form and function. Technology and energy efficiency: an unbeatable duo The future of sustainable architecture is shaped by the integration of technology. Smart energy efficiency and home automation systems become the backbone of green buildings, providing comfort without harming the environment. The role of construction in sustainability In the innovation landscape, work plays a crucial role. Ecological materials and sustainable methods transform construction sites into conscious ecosystems. Vertical gardens and sustainable roofs The futuristic sustainable architecture is distinguished by the incorporation of natural elements. Vertical gardens and sustainable roofs offer not only a high green refuge, but also a fight against urban heat, offering ecological solutions. Innovative materials: Beyond the conventional The future of sustainable architecture requires innovative materials. From translucent concrete to cross-laminated wood, architects are exploring alternatives that reduce carbon footprint without compromising durability.

The architecture will be changing! 🔄 Technological innovation, the development of high performance materials and a sustainable approach to building and urban design will create new standards across the industry, worldwide. Do you know what the symbols and signposts of sustainable building of the future are? Here they are: 👉 Monumental glazing 👉 Spectacular revitalisations 👉 Green space and breathable roofs 👉 Inclusive architecture Which one do you think is most relevant to how we build in the future?

Sustainable architecture: innovative and inspiring building design. 🏛  Sustainable architecture is a complicated, complex task. Architects need to consider the materials, construction, performance and origin of everything when designing, as well as their maintenance.  Here are some examples of sustainable architecture:   👉 Stream Building by PCA-Stream - opened on 31 May 2023 in Paris, bringing with it a vision of 21st century urban design. It is a multifunctional structure based on sustainable architectural principles, accommodating office and commercial functions.   👉 Congregation Kol Emeth synagogue by Field Architecture - is the first LEED Platinum building of its kind. The project involved redesigning and extending the existing structure on site - while creating an impressive building with zero energy consumption and net zero water for irrigation.  More examples can be found here 👉  #architecture #buildings #sustainability  

With World Architecture Day approaching next week with the theme ‘Architecture for Resilient Communities’, we are excited about the possibility which outdoor spaces provide in enhancing societal well-being. Balcony spaces provide the optimal connection between urban life and nature, utilizing design that is fundamentally simplistic in nature, but resilient and practical. To summarize this idea, we’d like to borrow a few words from Design Expert Jouni Teittinen: “With our skills, experience, and expertise, we can influence societal structures with our strengths – in this case, with quality products influenced by thoughtfulness, comprehensiveness, and systematic development. Lumon’s products aim to create more room for life, and to construct a future where outdoor living transforms the way in which we interact with our homes.” Architecture is a centerpiece to the development of resilient societies, and the way in which we interact with our world. As the benefits of glazed spaces continue to be studied, we move forward to a future, hopeful about the attention which balcony spaces deserve – not only for the benefit of residents, but for the sake of the longevity of our homes and our environment. You can read more about balcony architecture its connection to a larger societal discussion on building design in our most recent PRO blog: https://lnkd.in/d_Sd8hGX #betterhomes #moreroomforlife #sustainabledesign #productdesign

While many buildings are noted for their striking street-facing exteriors, the cladding on the other three sides frequently do a lot of the "heavy lifting" in the building envelope. The project below cited by The Architect's Newspaper, 37 Hillside Senior Apartments in northern #newyorkcity, is a case in point. Designed by Architecture in Formation PC, and co-developed by RiseBoro Community Partnership and Coconut Properties, this nine-story building sits on a sloped, hillside site formerly occupied by mid-century Baptist chapel. The building offers a striking copper panel on the street-facing facade, and it is backed by ROCKWOOL Group insulation. The copper will change color as it oxidizes over time. Because the building puts a premium on #energyefficiency, the other three sides of the building are understandably clad in #EIFS. With the "I" n "EIFS" standing for insulation, EIFS helps the building attain extreme #insulation, #highperformance, #airtightness, reduced #thermalbridging and other components that helped the project earn NYSERDA and Enterprise Community Partners ECG designations. Moreover, EIFS was a logical choice for this building because it addresses the goal of #costcontrol and #affordablehousing too. EIFS is much more #costeffective than #legacy building materials, and RSMeans Data from Gordian reports that an installed #brick wall costs 58% more than an installed #EIFS wall on a new apartment building in #manhattan, and an installed #curtainwall costs 32% more than EIFS. With #continuousinsulation integrated into a singular wall system that can mimic brick, #stone, #metal, #wood, #stucco and #multiplematerials, there has never been a better time to consider EIFS for a #newconstruction or #retrofit project. #eima #housing #construction #design #affordability #performance #climatechange #carbonemissions #engineeredsolution #modernbuildingmaterial

The Earth Royal Residence stands out as a key feature in the Rammteck International project. This innovative design consists of two rectangular volumes, with one housing the main living areas and the other serving as the service wing. The volumes are strategically arranged in a staggered fashion, creating a dynamic sequence of verandahs, entrances, and courts. Constructed using excavated earth, the walls showcase an inclined profile and are beautifully finished with natural mud plaster. www.Rammteck.com #eartharchitecture #sustainableconstruction #sustainablearchitecture #vision2030 #rammedearth #rammed_earth #architecture #architecturelovers #architect #architecturedesign #architectures #lookingup_architecture #sustinability #creative_architecture #architecturephoto #architecture_view #architecturaldesign #Concept #amazingarchitecture #oldarchitecture #architecture_minimal #RRarchitects #rammedearth #sustainability #naturalbuilding #ecofriendlydesign #SustainableConstruction #RammedEarthWalls #InnovativeBuildingDesign #ConstructionMethods
