From our most recent article in ARCHITECT Magazine: Hohmann & Barnard isn't afraid of a challenge, especially when it comes to building envelope solutions. Their innovative approach to cladding systems, air barriers, and rainscreens has made them a leader in the industry. We explore a case study in how H&B tackled a project with a mix of brick and thin panel cladding. They not only designed a rainscreen system for the thin panels but also streamlined the entire facade attachment system, ensuring a cohesive and thoughtfully detailed final product. H&B's success comes from their deep understanding of building envelope products and their willingness to collaborate with architects. This case study highlights the value of manufacturer design-assist, where H&B's expertise helped the design team achieve their vision.

Title: "The Backbone of Structural Design: The Importance of Good General Arrangement" In the world of construction and engineering, the term "general arrangement" might not be as glamorous as sleek architectural renderings or high-tech materials, but it serves as the foundation upon which remarkable structures are built. A good general arrangement in structural design is akin to a roadmap for success. It's the initial sketch, the blueprint that guides architects and engineers in creating safe, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing buildings. Here's why it matters: Safety First: A well-thought-out general arrangement ensures that a structure can withstand its intended loads, whether it's a high-rise building, a bridge, or any other infrastructure. Safety is non-negotiable, and the arrangement of beams, columns, and foundations is where it all begins. Efficiency Matters: Good general arrangement isn't just about safety; it's also about optimizing resources. It helps minimize material waste, reduce construction time, and ultimately save costs. Efficiency in design translates to efficiency in construction. Future-Proofing: Forward-thinking general arrangement accounts for future modifications or renovations. It makes it easier to adapt to changing needs or technologies, extending the lifespan and functionality of the structure. Aesthetic Appeal: Structural design isn't just about functionality; it's also about beauty. A well-planned general arrangement sets the stage for architectural elements that captivate the eye and enhance the overall urban landscape. Collaboration is Key: General arrangement serves as a common language for architects, engineers, and builders. It fosters collaboration and ensures that everyone involved is on the same page, working towards a common vision. In conclusion, while general arrangement might not be the most glamorous aspect of structural design, it's undeniably one of the most crucial. It's where the dreams of architects meet the precision of engineers, where safety meets aesthetics, and where innovation meets practicality. It's the backbone upon which great structures are erected. #StructuralDesign #GeneralArrangement #EngineeringExcellence
