As Frank Lloyd Wright once said, “An architect must be a prophet; if he can’t see ten years ahead, don’t call him an Architect.” Given the current geopolitical tensions and global conflicts, an architect should indeed be a prophet of peace, and architecture should be a prophecy of peace.   Wars have erased centuries of cultural heritage, but from the ruins, we’ve witnessed architecture restoring lost legacies. From war-resistant structures to peace memorials, architecture continues to shape both pre-and post-war living: ▪️ Fortified cities and bunkers to assert power and control ▪️ Post-war construction efforts for restoring communities ▪️ Bomb-resistant and adaptive buildings to minimize casualties ▪️ Peace memorials and inclusive architecture propelling dialogues For a deeper understanding of the topic, check out our blog on the relationship between war and architecture: https://lnkd.in/grZR9pAk #bimservices #3dmodeling #mepcoordination #fortifiedstructures #postwarreconstruction #laserscanning #resilientdesign #constructionadministration #warandarchitecture #culturalheritage

Behind the Scenes: The FoQus Design Process Take a peek into our meticulous design documentation! This Phase I deck represents hours of detailed site surveys and existing condition analysis - the crucial foundation of any successful historic renovation project. These comprehensive documents serve two essential purposes: • Guide our demolition planning and permitting • Support our initial consultation with Santa Fe's Historical Preservation Department This attention to detail ensures we honor both architectural heritage and modern functionality in every project. #ArchitecturalDesign #HistoricPreservation #SantaFeArchitecture #DesignProcess #ArchitecturalDocumentation #PreservationPlanning #HistoricRenovation #CustomDesign #ArchitecturalDrawings #SantaFeDesign #NewMexicoArchitecture #DesignExcellence #HistoricDistrict #ArchitecturalPlanning #SustainableDesign

📰 Is the Stirling Prize the architectural Oscars? PRP Partner Craig Sheach discusses in Architects’ Journal.   "It is right to ask: should the Stirling Prize reward the serendipitous convergence of all elements (the perfect site, budget, practice, client, brief, outcome, etc)? Or should it be the exemplar of the genre that resolves the difficult and constraining challenges, offering the industry relatability and replicability, helping move the overall dial?"   🔗 https://lnkd.in/dNV6Rd82 #stirlingprize #riba #architectureawards

"At our conservation sites MZ Engineering testing plays a critical role in preserving architectural heritage. By utilizing both non-destructive and selective testing methods, we ensure the integrity of historic materials while gathering essential data for informed conservation decisions. Balancing tradition with modern technology. Collecting material samples is a vital step in ensuring the integrity of restoration projects. In this case, we’ve gathered new mud brick samples from a historic structure for analysis. By : our specialist Dr. Abdelghafour E. Motawea -studying the composition and condition of these bricks, we can make informed decisions for preserving traditional building techniques while ensuring the structure’s long-term stability .#Conservation #HeritageRestoration #MudBrickArchitecture #BuildingPreservation #SustainableConstruction #Conservation #ArchitecturalHeritage #SustainablePreservation #HeritageScience"

Stood in awe at the Pantheon today! 🏛️ Did you know it's almost 2,000 years old and still holds the record for the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome? A true testament to Roman engineering genius and a blend of beauty and precision. Why did the Romans excel in construction compared to modern methods? 🤔 Their structures were not only innovative but built to last for millennia. As I wandered through the streets of Rome, surrounded by history, three critical questions came to mind: Developers: Are your projects designed to endure through generations? General Contractors: Are you upholding top-notch construction practices, or are there compromises? Subcontractors: Is your craftsmanship contributing to lasting legacies? Let's reflect on how we can match or even surpass those ancient benchmarks in our current projects. #Engineering #ConstructionExcellence #HistoricalArchitecture #BuildingLegacy What do you think makes the difference in building structures that stand the test of time? Let's discuss! 🚀

Ever wonder what a trefoil arch is? How about a guilloche? Coffer? Sidelight? Most #historic buildings are owned by private citizens who have little or no background in building #preservation or its allied fields. These owners–as dedicated as they are to preserving or refurbishing their property–often feel at a disadvantage when communicating with professionals well-versed in the complex jargon of this multidisciplinary field. There is help though! Ward Bucher, Principal #architect with Encore #Sustainable Architects, wrote a guide just for you. The Dictionary of Building Preservation provides easy access to this terminology and helps the nonspecialist to understand and communicate with building and design professionals, preservation groups, government agencies, attorneys, and others concerned with building preservation. https://lnkd.in/exBPCgXE
