"Reuse Relationships" Roundtable at the Architectural Association. Friday 4 October, 3-5pm. Organised by Aude-Line Duliere and featuring Assemble, David Chipperfield Architects, 6a, Stanton Williams, Paye Stonework & Restoration Ltd, BCA Matériaux Anciens / BCA Antique Matérials. As part of Circular Economy Week London 2024, this event is triggered by two developments. Firstly, the fact that more and more real-world architectural projects are involving material reuse, and secondly, the fact that a new type of relationship is being forged: between architects and… let’s call them “material facilitators”. In other words, the experts – who have been around long before circularity became a thing – who can actually find and supply used materials and help incorporate them in new contexts...

I’m very excited to announce that TRACE lab research (co-authors below) has won the ACSA TAD Research Contribution Award for our paper ‘Data Visualization for a Circular Economy: Designing a Web Application for Sustainable Housing’. This award recognizes outstanding peer-reviewed research published in the Technology | Architecture + Design Journal. Our paper outlines our new web application, ‘Data Homebase’, which aims to foster a circular economy in the housing sector to tackle Canada’s housing supply challenge while mitigating the environmental impacts of building. We develop ‘Housing Passports’ - which are ‘nutrition labels’ for housing towards accelerating the digitalization of buildings. This helps municipalities and policymakers to understand if urban mining can occur at the city level and allows us to see housing as ‘banks’ of material resources waiting to be tapped. Facilitating repair and reuse as an alternative to demolition and new construction, rapidly increases the speed in which housing supply challenges can be addressed.

M.A.W 2025 The inaugural Malaysian Architecture Weeks is here! Tentatively to be held for 3-4 weeks from April-May 2025. This is a traveling exhibition crowdfunded and organized by architects for architects and architectural practitioners to showcase Malaysian architecture through models. 30 offices have expressed interest so far. The exhibition aims to: 1. To showcase Malaysian architecture, highlighting its diverse styles, cultural influences and innovative approaches to local and international audience. 2. To foster dialogues between professionals, practitioners, students and public about Malaysian architecture. 3. To promote exchange with architectural practitioners internationally. Refer to the link at the comment below for more details and registration of interest.

TIP: The Australian Institute of Architects has curated and grouped a list of Architecture news on their page, titled. 'Reading Architecture'. It's a quick way to stay up to date with industry news from multiple sources on the one page. You can thank me later 😉 #readingarchitecture #architecturenews #architectureaustralia

Adjunct Professor: The architectural design course was enriched with the guest Professor Valerio Tolve with a lesson entitled Schools: Forms and Spaces for Teaching #school #teaching #architecture

What to Read This #Summer 📚 'High-quality Architecture and Built Environment: a Political Goal'. On the occasion of a workshop organised as part of the 2023 UIA World Congress of Architects CPH 2023, the Architects' Council of Europe (ACE-CAE) and the Region I of the International Union of Architects (UIA - International Union of Architects Region I) released a joint publication entitled 'High-quality Architecture and Built Environment: a Political Goal'. This publication puts the spotlight on recent policy initiatives, at EU and national levels, that support a high-quality architecture and built environment, as well as Baukultur. High-quality #Baukultur is about society’s responsible handling of its built environment and its architecture.It requires and implies an increased participation of society in care for, and development of, the built environment, but also quality-based processes throughout the life-cycle of projects. Baukultur is a holistic approach, which cares for and seeks to achieve a sustainable society, with quality of life and collective well-being for all.

We are happy to announce the newest addition to the editorial team of the Design Research in Architecture series, Professor Andong Lu. Currently Professor in Architecture and Urbanism at Nanjing University, China, he joins Professor Murray Fraser from UCL's renowned Bartlett school of Architecture. Featuring work from Early Career Researchers and leading architect-scholars in practice and academia, books in the open access Design Research in Architecture series vary widely in tone and structure, covering aspects such as design method, visual representation, reasoned critique, social processes and strategies for action. The series is deliberately inclusive to encourage a vibrant, novel approach, and is openly international. Each book combines serious historical or theoretical research with creative propositions expressed through drawings, models or texts; indeed, it is the symbiotic interplay between these components that forms the basis for design research in architecture. It is currently a fertile time for design research and this book series acts as the heart of these investigations. Find out more about the series at https://ow.ly/FvXE50STo3K

🔹 EPOKA University proudly announces the release of the top papers from the Fourth International Conference on Architecture and Urban Design (4- ICAUD), organized by the Department of Architecture.
