Great engineering to create a new 3rd millennium "Agorà" The Changzhou Culture Plaza by Gmp Architects it is truly a place with a magical atmosphere, created by creating enormous structures that envelop but do not completely close the spaces available to citizens The plaza is surrounded by a public park and, together with the Town Hall and the Changzhou Grand Theater located to the north, forms the new city center of Changzhou. The development comprises 6 identical, freestanding building modules that are angled towards each other and arranged in a 2 x 3 cluster. Each module is based on a footprint area of 70 x 70 meters and, as an autonomous unit with individual entrance and lobby, accommodates one of the functions of the Culture Plaza, such as the art museum, library, hotel, and offices. In the video you can perceive the atmosphere that is breathed in this extraordinary place, surrounded by futuristic structures, a perfect combination of architectural geometries and engineering virtuosity. Do you like it? Can it be said that such a grandiose meeting and exchange place can recall the idea of the agorà of ancient Greece? #structuralengineering #structure #engineering #architecture For more: 📌 Follow #ImpressiveEngineering 📌 Click on the 🔔 and select "All"

Do you know what is an architect's love language? Physical touch. An architect's love language is expressed through the tactile engagement with their designs. Each touch signifies creation and refinement. They find solace in the tangible manifestation of ideas, feeling materials and craftsmanship intimately. For architects, physical touch is more than sensation; it's a language of intimacy, conveying creativity and dedication to shaping meaningful spaces.

The terms of reference for Canada's most respected awards program—the Governor General's Medals in Architecture—must be overhauled. This awards program must be redefined to remain relevant in today's marketplace and culture and be an effective advocacy tool. As it exists today, this awards program is failing our profession. Thank you Alex Bozikovic for bringing this up in your opinion piece in The Globe and Mail on June 29th! I do not suggest that the projects celebrated in this year's list of winners are superficial or unworthy of praise. I merely suggest a lack of clarity regarding how they were evaluated and how the general public can interpret their contributions to society. A leading awards program should serve the role of an advocate for design excellence and a built environment responsive to societal changes. A well-managed architecture competition comprises a knowledgeable jury who can critically and confidently assess the entries. A relevant architecture awards program serves as a benchmark in celebrating the work of architects who have been successful and upholding design excellence while moving the needle forward and towards a higher objective such as inclusive communities, environmental sustainability, innovative construction techniques or a social agenda. It helps when such an awards program is seen as impartial while adhering to a defined critical agenda. Why? For an awards program to remain influential, it must be respected. To remain respected, it must clearly describe its evaluation methodology so the public, private sector and governments can learn from the projects it is advocating. #architecture #architectureawards #CanadaCouncil #CanadaCouncilfortheArts #ggmedals #designexcellence #advocacy

We are extremely proud to announce, Dr. Mostafa Benzazaa and I, that we have had the opportunity to take charge of the project for the new headquarters of the National Ports Agency (ANP) as a consulting firm. At EESM, our central commitment focuses on two crucial missions. On one hand, we are dedicated to conducting cutting-edge thermal and acoustic studies, while on the other hand, we are determined to support the project in obtaining High Environmental Quality (HQE) certification CERTIVEA. These joint missions play an indispensable role in the design of the new headquarters of the National Ports Agency (ANP), where our expertise has become essential. In close collaboration with the ANP, our commitment is specifically directed towards guiding the project towards HQE certification, ensuring that this future facility exceeds established environmental standards. Nestled in the dynamic Casa Anfa district, the new ANP headquarters embodies a perfect balance between modern architecture and sustainability principles. Its design, inspired by a ship, reflects the sustainable ambitions of the National Ports Agency. A distinctive feature of this project is the integration of a carefully designed double-skin facade, offering a more glassy and open aesthetic. This characteristic enhances the harmony between modern architecture and sustainability principles while establishing a visual connection with the surrounding landscape. Thus, our combined commitment and innovative approach significantly contribute to the realization of a unique headquarters, both aesthetically and sustainably. #PaquebotInspiration #CertificationEnvironnementale #DéveloppementDurable #ArchitectureDurable #HQE #ProjetImmobilier

We’re excited to announce Jeanne Gang’s new book, The Art of Architectural Grafting! As reusing and adapting our existing buildings becomes ever-more critical to combatting climate change, the book proposes a fresh concept for bringing new life to older structures, inspired by the regenerative abilities of plants. Horticultural grafters connect two separate plants—one old and one new—so they can grow and function as one, producing a thriving plant with useful and desirable qualities. In The Art of Architectural Grafting, Jeanne applies the sensibility and principles of this approach to architects and architecture at multiple scales. Using Studio Gang projects as examples, she lays out how we can “upcycle” our existing buildings and urban lands, expanding on their original capacity through strategic additions to create new utility and beauty for communities while minimizing carbon footprint. Published by Park Books in both English and French, the book is available for purchase worldwide at the link below, and coming soon to a bookstore near you! https://lnkd.in/emJsxTcK
