Vantaa Energy’s new substation in Varisto, Vantaa, started operating in December 2023. The substation significantly enhances the area’s electricity transmission capacity. The architecture of the station not only supports functional needs but also transforms the building into an iconic landmark and a new meaningful place. It is not the building volumes, but the void they create, that gives identity to the site. The Varisto site is a place where two environments with diametrically different energy levels interact: the busy Ring Road III and a tranquil field opened towards nature reserve. This contextual vibrancy combined with electricity as a phenomenon is at the core of the architectural concept. The substation becomes an architectural metaphor for an electric field created by two charges of opposite polarity. Design: Olla Architecture Video: Martin Sommerschield, Kuvio

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.

To have more columns? Or to have longer spans? 🧐 Have you ever wanted to understand how changing the grid span of your concept designs will impact the embodied carbon of the structural system? We know that longer spans will require larger slabs, joists, and girders. And while shorter spans may reduce floor depth, do we end up with too many columns? How can we find that Goldilocks zone? 🐻 Typical bay calculations are certainly useful, but they are time consuming. Especially if we want to consider the impact of the structural grid on more than just the floor system - we know the grid also affects the foundation, the load needs to go somewhere! In case you missed it, Keir Regan-Alexander and Alexandra Bantock took a look at this very question in a webinar earlier this week. If you want to watch a recording, you can find it here: https://lnkd.in/gjPUF6iV. But for those of you who might not have 30 minutes to spare, the tl;dr is below. Comment below to with other questions you might like to see answered with Preoptima CONCEPT! And try it yourself for free: https://lnkd.in/gtc7wZJH This post is part of a series showing how Preoptima CONCEPT can be used to “optioneer” during the conceptual design phase.

Architecture in 2024 needs to be cost-effective, but it must also have the durability and structural integrity to stand the test of time. The Soltherm 75 system packages together a solution for modern architecture in a number of ways: With stainless steel profiles & beads, our system resists the effects of time and weather. Both the aesthetic flexibility and structural Integrity help maintain both the look and strength of buildings for decades. Investing in innovation measures helps safer, efficient construction go further, avoiding a costly future of maintenance and repairs. https://loom.ly/_WphsdM #Soltherm #CPD #Architecture #Innovation #ConstructionIndusrty #Architects #latesttechnology #externalwall #externalwallinsulation #insulation

Based on an I-shaped cross section with diagonal board layers, the system is safe, robust, and lightweight. The study aims to modernize and reuse an HB portal frame from the 1950s, highlighting its potential for modernization and reusing. The findings suggest that the HB system is a valuable and adaptable solution.
