AIA Charlotte’s Post

Night Illumination. My vision behind this photo is to convey the concept of light shining in the darkness that highlights the architectural features of the dome at night.

ELEVATION plays an important role to explain your design and to show the materials of the facade. This is how, I show elevations in my recent college project (PERFORMING ART CENTER).

"I am Preservation" with Kim Lovejoy - EverGreene Architectural Arts As we celebrate our 50th anniversary we are highlighting a video series called "I am Preservation" to exhibit the widespread love of landmarks throughout the City. Please join in the celebration and send us your video. We will post clips throughout the rest of the year on our many social media platforms. TIPS for making your own "I am Preservation" video. Say your name, and if you like, the neighborhood that you live in. Briefly comment on what you love about New York City landmarks or a specific historic building, place, or structure. And, finish by saying “I am Preservation!” Film in landscape mode (hold smartphone horizontally) If you can’t film yourself, maybe have a friend film you in front of a landmark or your favorite historic building or structure. Be aware of your surroundings (street-level noise, etc.) Check your lighting. If possible, you don’t want to be in an area that is too dark or too bright. Set up your shot (minimize things that might be distracting on screen) We are looking for short clips. Thirty seconds at maximum. Make eye contact, don’t forget to smile. Speak up and enunciate your words. We want viewers to hear you. Send your finished video clips to photos@nylandmarks.org Have fun! #nylandmarks #nylandmarksconservancy #iampreservation

Litstudio: Building, Art, Landscape: Does Your building meet the BC building code, which now allows up to 18 storeys in Mass Timber and less encapsulation so that the beauty and warmth of wood is expressed?

For the transformation of the Old Administrative Center in Hasselt, a design by brutalist architect Louis Ghysebrechts, we proposed a design that envisions adaptive reuse of the building and the insertion of a new volume with two movie theaters. By removing tresholds, the existing volume is connected with the public space and accessibility to the foyer is increased. New functions supporting the program of the building are organised by adding new layers into the old. Team Vanderstraeten nv | Sweco | Daidalos Peutz bouwfysisch ingenieursbureau | Belcotec

Arch 371 Final Reviews! CLOAK -Deonante Sutton and Morgan Cooper “CLOAK” defines a layering aspect in our building that is accomplished by implicit elements and art forms that can be rewarding to those who take the time to look closer. Our facade plays with a revealing and hiding aspect by allowing pedestrians to view both the atrium and mural from different angles, but not the entire building. Due to this, our facade sparks curiosity, which translates to pedestrians entering the building. Once inside, visitors get a full glimpse of various art forms such as murals and anamorphic illusion. Moving walls, the final element of the building, expands on the “layering” effect used in the facade that can be used to craft specific views and paths that guide circulation as well as transform spaces. By strategically hiding and showcasing portions of space, we promote visitors to explore both the building and various arts they can take up.

From classic Art Deco to sleek modernism, reflections of the city’s many architectural styles.

softmax classifier to classify architectural styles. Softmax is particularly useful for multi-class classification problems, where the goal is to predict one class out of multiple possible classes. In the context of architectural styles, this means each input (e.g., an image of a building plan) is assigned a probability for each style (e.g., Gothic, Modern, Baroque). #machine_learning_for_architetcs
