Excited to share that SILO is the winning concept for the Havenkwartier in Deventer. Inspired by the industrial silo's in the area, SILO will become a new landmark in Deventer’s harbor. This mixed-use building will feature approximately 23 apartments above a lively public ground floor. SILO’s flexible design ensures it stands the test of time, adapting to future needs. With a biobased open grid structure, reused steel, and locally sourced materials, it sets a new standard for adaptive and circular architecture. A future-proof solution for sustainable living and working spaces. & Heutink Groep | Ontwikkelt en bouwt | NL Architects | DGMR Duurzame toekomst | BUCC BV | Eelerwoude | ten Hag makelaars en financiele dienstverleningsgroep | Boeren voor Biobased Bouwen Images by drip visual #deventer #sustainable #timber #biobased #silo #tender #circulareconomy

Detroitisit shares key takeaways from the Sustainable Urban Design x Purposeful Forum During the Sustainable Urban Design x Purposeful Forum, Chelsea Rauck Sanderson, director of architecture & design at Bedrock Detroit; Roberto Otero, associate principal at SHoP Architects; Conrad Kickert, associate professor at the University at Buffalo School of Architecture and Planning; and co-founder Marthijn Pool, hosted by Dan Pitera, FAIA, dean of University of Detroit Mercy School of Architecture and Community Development, and Ivana Kalafatic, founder of Detroitisit, shared an open dialogue around sustainable urban design and how we can collectively create thriving neighbourhoods using the principles of the circular economy.

Co-founder Marthijn Pool part of four visionary teams that will guide the built environment sector in Sweden in its sustainability transformation Four interdisciplinary teams have been selected to join The Futures We Build and create visions of a sustainable built environment sector in Sweden. The visions will illustrate pathways towards futures in which the built environment contributes to mitigating and adapting to climate change, circularity is the standard, and value chains and business logic are based on life cycle perspective. The Futures We Build is a strategic project within Smart Built Environment, one of Sweden’s 17 Strategic Innovation Programs, run by Media Evolution in partnership with the Federation of Swedish Innovation Companies (Innovationsföretagen). It is funded by Formas, a Swedish Research Council for Sustainable Development, Vinnova (Sweden’s innovation agency) and The Swedish Energy Agency International. The visions, that will be made available in January 2025, will support, inspire and inform multiple actors in the sector in their efforts to collaborate, transform and, together, find new ways of working and organising.
