A+307 Mixing & Stacking is now available! While, according to the criteria of the regional development plan, business parks and industrial estates are intended solely for research and development, production and logistics, there is a growing demand for a functional mix with other, more urban functions. Today’s economic space is a new challenge for spatial designers, and includes typological studies resulting in projects such as urban stacking or other practices that encourage a mix of activities. A+ is looking into several stacking projects. Read or oder a copy: https://lnkd.in/e6Rr6rSP

Here my recent article about Regenerative Architecture with Graphene:

Eduardo Gutiérrez, co-founder of ON-A, emphasizes the importance of control in architecture, using parametric tools and BIM to design complex, functional structures. He believes that technology, such as modular construction and preindustrialization, can revolutionize the field by streamlining processes and reducing environmental impact. Gutiérrez advocates for a holistic, sustainable approach to architecture, where aesthetics, innovation, and efficiency coexist. His vision involves harmonizing urban spaces with nature, leveraging technology to create ecosystems that foster human interaction while addressing the challenges of urbanization and climate change. https://lnkd.in/d5F8wts3

With the prospect of the global stock of buildings and real estate doubling in size by the middle of this century, the year 2024 is positioned as a crucial point to promote green architecture and sustainable design beyond a mere growing trend, becoming an imperative necessity when building. Sustainable architecture, also known as green architecture, focuses on minimizing the negative impact on the environment during the design and construction of buildings, while creating efficient and healthy spaces for their occupants. #sustainability #architecture #construction #sustainable #architecturegreen

📣✨ Exciting News from Cluster 04! 🔸Project Title:  H2ousing. Rive vive per una resilienza Corrente 🔸Project Aim:  In 2021, as part of the call for proposals titled “Prospettive urbane. Studi di fattibilità per la rigenerazione urbana,” promoted by Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo, the POLITO project team supported the city of Moncalieri in developing the project “H2ousing. Rive vive per una resilienza corrente”. This project focused on identifying large-scale systemic strategies and specific interventions that place rivers at the centre of the design. The aim was to create a strategic framework for developing green infrastructure that included new social living spaces with high-quality standards, as well as improved neighbourhood and community services. The masterplan integrates eleven distinct design interventions that propose scenarios for transforming both the urban and natural landscape, addressing the needs of both private and public areas. Some of the proposed interventions have also laid the groundwork for future proposals under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) 🔸Project members: Scientific Responsible: Angioletta Voghera Urban and Territorial Planning Project: Angioletta Voghera, Benedetta Giudice, Luigi La Riccia Architectural Project: roberta ingaramo, Davide Rolfo Estimation and Economic Evaluation: Manuela Rebaudengo, Umberto Mecca Representation and Graphics: Mariapaola Vozzola, Morena Gagliardi, Alice Vitale, Marco Tosi Politecnico di Torino | Dipartimento Interateneo di Scienze, Progetto e Politiche del Territorio - DIST DAD - Dipartimento di Architettura e Design Dipartimento di Ingegneria Strutturale, Edile e Geotecnica - DISEG Polito Stay tuned for updates and insights from Cluster 4! 🚀💻 #UrbanPlanning #SustainableCities #ResilientDesign #GreenInfrastructure #ClimateResilience #UrbanRegeneration #Moncalieri #RiversAsAssets #H2ousingProject #POLITOResearch #Teamwork

W o n The CHNO des Quinze-Vingts competition has been won for a project focused on the thermal renovation and elevation of the clinical building at the Quinze-Vingts National Ophthalmology Hospital, and we are in! This project, led by HARDEL LE BIHAN ARCHITECTES and involving several partners (such as Zefco), aims to support the hospital's transition towards environmental sobriety. During the competition, the selected participants were invited to submit an anonymous dossier with a design level corresponding to a preliminary outline (French APS phase). B+G's brief was to renovate the existing façade and investigate designs for new additions, including several elevations and a new entrance building. Our team focused on minimising time on site, using specialist FOB systems for blocks up to 12 metres long. We also focused on maximising the re-use of existing facades. The new prefabricated FOB-type envelope will avoid 208 TéqCO2 compared to a metal curtain façade. Based on parametric studies, the new cladding will reduce the building's energy consumption by 25% and enhance user comfort year-round. The project emphasises the extensive use of reused materials, both in-situ and ex-situ, avoiding over 150 TéqCO2 by reusing existing elements from the original façade. #engineering #france #reuse #parametric #facade #structure

AI Architecture Challenge 4  Damn that Dam | Rethinking Dams 🌊 Rethinking Dams: Blending Engineering Marvels with Nature's Beauty ✈️ Have you ever thought what can be the relationship between Dam Airplanes and Attractions Park with green spaces and visitors all around? What if dams weren't just feats of engineering, but also captivating attractions seamlessly integrated with green spaces? Imagine dam airplanes soaring over lush landscapes, reminiscent of ancestral fountains, drawing visitors from all corners. By reimagining dams as more than mere structures, we unlock their potential as symbols of both human ingenuity and harmony with nature. Let's explore how these modern marvels can transcend their traditional roles, becoming beacons of sustainable beauty and awe-inspiring attractions. #aiarchitecturechallenge4 #SustainableEngineering #NatureIntegration #Innovation

Situated within the Mayoral campus in Intelhorce, Málaga, the Mayoral New Warehouse Logistics Center, designed by System Arquitectura , represents a harmonious fusion of modern architecture with the existing industrial landscape. The high-storage program required the new building to reach a height of 20 meters with a floor area of over 15,000 square meters, making it a massive volume very close to the existing building, which is only 11 meters tall. Therefore, it needed to be handled with the necessary sensitivity to integrate seamlessly with its neighbor. This integration extends not only at a volumetric level but also at a conceptual level, aiming for a common language rooted in the textile industry that both buildings represent.

Structures of Landscape, dialogue architectural avec le paysage naturel https://lnkd.in/eQ5YSPXH

T r o p h y The 2023 BATISOBRE trophy for sustainable construction has been awarded to the Paris ICF Habitat La Sablière project in the "Cycle UP" category (circular economy and reuse). This project represents a significant urban renewal effort. ICF Habitat La Sablière replaced a dilapidated 1930s building with a new development consisting of 75 homes across two 6-storey buildings (R+6). The new structures feature a mass-coloured concrete base and an ashlar façade that meets modern standards. A third building, connected to the others, is planned as a 2-storey (R+2) structure with wooden façades and pre-treated wooden cladding, offering a unique residential experience in Paris. The project emphasises green spaces, including a high-quality courtyard at the centre of the three buildings. We provide structural engineering expertise for ICF Habitat in collaboration with jbmn architectes and Lafayette Architectes Urbanistes. (Article in FR) #paris #ashlar #wood #engineer #circular #reuse
