We’re pleased to continue our successful collaboration with Howells, LDA Design and Sillage, coming third among the 46 entries in the international competition to #retrofit an old paper mill within the #BelgradeWaterfront into a museum honouring the life and work of Serbian-American engineer and inventor Nikola Tesla. Atelier Ten developed an MEP engineering and sustainability strategy based on bio-climatic principles, using groundwater cooling and heating. This would help remove the plant from the roof, creating accessible terraces for visitors and local residents. Our proposal also saw passive cooling and air intake through underground air ducts for the non-museum spaces, while the old chimney would serve as an exhaust, driven by the stack effect and negative pressure created by the wind. Congratulations to Zaha Hadid Architects on their winning proposal and all the other contestants!

APLIX - HOOK & LOOP is working with the Institute of Architecture Technology of Graz (Austria) to develop a resilient #hookandloop fastening system for the adaptable assembly of building components in #building construction. This project, named ReCon, was honored with a prize awarded to Austrian universities and colleges that highlights creative, innovative and effective initiatives and encourages the development of sustainable concepts. 🌱 What is ReCon all about? 🏚️ Climate-neutral, recyclable buildings require flexible, sustainable solutions - and that's precisely where the development of a durable APLIX hook-and-loop connection system for the adaptable assembly of components in building construction comes in. The aim: to verify and establish the hook-and-loop system as an intelligent solution for building construction - future-proof and resource-saving! 🌍 🔗 Click here to learn more about the project: https://lnkd.in/drFNRghg This project was created with Technische Universität Graz, the Institute for Architectural Technology (IAT), the Laboratory for Structural Engineering, the Institute of Bioproducts and Paper Technology, NET- Automation GmbH and axtesys GmbH. Many thanks to the IAT- research team for selecting our APLIX self-gripping products for this project: Matthias Lang-Raudaschl, Saša Ritonja, DI, Clemens Berlach, Toni Levak, Maria Soledad Vidal Martinez, and @Selina Haingartner.

Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man of math Vitruvius (Marcus Vitruvius Pollio) was a Roman architect and engineer who, in his treatise De Architectura (circa 15 BCE), outlined three fundamental principles for good architecture: Firmitas, Utilitas, and Venustas. These principles serve as a timeless framework for evaluating and designing buildings and structures. The Three Principles and Their Meanings Firmitas (Strength or Durability) Refers to the structural integrity and stability of a building. A structure must be able to stand the test of time and resist physical forces such as gravity, wind, earthquakes, and other environmental factors. In modern terms, this principle relates to engineering aspects like material strength, construction techniques, and safety standards. Utilitas (Functionality or Utility) Focuses on the practicality and usefulness of a structure. A building should serve its intended purpose efficiently, providing comfort and convenience to its users. This principle emphasizes space planning, accessibility, adaptability, and ensuring that the design aligns with the needs of its occupants. Venustas (Beauty or Aesthetics) Refers to the visual appeal and harmony of a structure. A building should be pleasing to look at and evoke a sense of delight, fitting within its cultural, historical, or environmental context. This principle incorporates proportions, symmetry, ornamentation, and artistic expression in design. Relevance in Modern Architecture and Engineering The principles of Firmitas, Utilitas, and Venustas remain relevant in contemporary design and construction. They provide a balanced approach that integrates technical excellence, functional effectiveness, and aesthetic appeal: Firmitas connects to modern structural engineering and sustainability efforts to ensure long-lasting buildings. Utilitas ties into user-centered design, urban planning, and functionality-driven spaces. Venustas addresses architecture as an art form, considering cultural significance, emotional impact, and beauty. #bim #construction #process #energy #chemical #paper #engineering #structuralengineer #structuraldesign #steel #steelstructures #concrete #timber #civilengineering #revitstructure #revit #sketchbookpro #autocad #autodesk #femdesign #bussiness #projectmanagement #electrical #mechanical #civil #mechanical #pipping #processindustry #gasindustry #paperindustry #fusion360, #architecture #makingfuture #nuclear #wind #solar #electrification #sustainable

I came across a great article that sheds light on the advantages of Structurally Insulated Panels (SIPS) from Architizer. In recent years, SIPs have garnered more attention among architects, builders and clients interested in achieving high-performing, energy efficient building envelopes. Panelized construction offers faster assembly times and reduced labor costs compared to traditional methods, thanks to pre-fabricated panels that streamline the building process. Additionally, it improves energy efficiency and reduces waste, contributing to a more sustainable and cost-effective construction approach. ZS2 Technologies boosts the performance of building materials by incorporating magnesium oxide (MgO) board, enhancing fire resistance, mold resistance, and overall durability. By building on the well-established benefits of SIPs and leveraging panelized construction, ZS2 not only enhances the performance of panelized systems but also spans a diverse range of high-performance building materials. 𝐀 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: · 𝐅𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Panelized systems can be installed up to 50% faster than traditional framing methods, leading to significant labor cost savings. · 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲: These panels can cut heating and cooling costs by up to 55% and provide much better airtightness compared to conventional wood framing. · 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭-𝐈𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: The pre-insulated nature of these panels eliminates the need for additional insulating materials. · 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐀𝐢𝐫 𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: The airtight construction contributes to better indoor air quality. · 𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐖𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞: Panelized construction methods result in about 50% less waste on-site. · 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭: Operational energy use accounts for approximately 90% of a home's environmental impact throughout its lifetime.
