Granaria on Granary Island in Gdańsk is a remarkable project that combines modern urban development with the rich history of the city. The project, split into two phases, features residential units, commercial and retail spaces, an underground car park, a cutting-edge hotel, and public amenities like a city square and a new rotating pedestrian bridge, linking the banks of the Motława River with Granary Island. 🌉🏙️ Since 2017, cmT and GerPlan have been proud to be part of this transformative journey. As part of our #20Projectsfor20yearsofcmT series, we're especially highlighting the first phase, which has earned recognition in numerous prestigious industry competitions. 🏆 Notably, it was awarded the MIPIM Awards 2020, often referred to as the 'Oscar of Real Estate.’ 🎉 As Jakub Duriasz EMBA points out, Granaria faced tough competition in the ‘Urban Project’ category, going up against developments like Tivoli Green City in Brussels, the Moscow River waterfront redevelopment, and La Cité Fertile on the outskirts of Paris. The MIPIM jury reviewed 228 projects from 45 countries, narrowing the selection down to 44 finalists—just four in each of the 11 categories. The award was proudly accepted in Paris by representatives of the GRANARIA consortium, who executed the project alongside the city in a PPP agreement. 🌍🏅 cmT’s role in this project involved representing the majority shareholder, Immobel, on-site and providing support in managing the PPP project. The project posed several challenges, including the proximity of historic buildings, foundations on soil with remnants of wooden piles, and fluctuating groundwater levels. Yet, as always, with cmT involved, every challenge was expertly managed and the project was a resounding success! 💪🔧 #20Projectsfor20yearsofcmT #Granaria #PPP #RealEstate #cmT #GerPlan #Construction #Infrastructure #Engineering #AwardWinningProject #Immobel

🌍 Why are international trade fairs important? With over 2,000 exhibitors from 49 countries and 190,000 trade visitors from across the globe in 2023, BAU is where the construction world comes together. But what makes events like BAU so crucial for the industry? Eva Maria Herrmann asked our exhibitors for their thoughts. Hear from Bastian Bornkessel from Cosuno, Tobias Hackel from Gretsch-Unitas Deutschland, Lisa-Marie Niehoff from bauforumstahl e.V. and Erik Hefti from Swisspearl Group as they share their insights. Now it's your turn! Why do you think international trade fairs are important? Let us know in the comments!👇 📅 Meet the exhibitors at BAU, January 13–17, in Munich!

In Saint Wolfgang im Salzkammergut, Gmuden, Austria, a contemporary railway station debuted in 2023. A series of canopies rooves allow for an abundance of natural like to illuminate the interior spaces and reduce the need for lighting throughout the day. The state of the art station, utilizes heat pumps for its heating and cooling systems and solar photovoltaics to power a majority of the station. Minimal material usage and locally sourced timber further reduces the projects carbon footprint, and creates a connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces. An inspirational sustainable addition to the world of public transportation, hopefully more projects just like this will take shape in our cities. We’re all in this together #sustainabledesign #sustainability #architecture #architecturaldesign #sustainablecities #renewables #renewableenergy #heatpump #heatpumptechnology #solar #solarpower #publictransportation #urbandesign #urbanplanning

Temporary construction offers innovative financial and environmental solutions to real estate investment while maintaining design appeal.  This is the article I authored for Construction Business Review / CIOReview this week. Stadium 974 in #Qatar designed by #FenwickIribarrenArchitects or #PikkuFinlandia designed by Jaakko Torvinen or even the extension of #Bata Stadium in #EquatorialGuinea designed and built by Bouygues Construction (BBI) are examples for the advantages that offer dismountable structures being flexible, cost-effective and environmentally friendly reducing carbon footprints by extending material lifecycles. URW had also experienced recently this technology in Spain and in the NL. Here after the link for both articles published this week of which one had the privilege being the subject of the cover story.

As the world advances towards a future marked by rapid urbanization and interconnectedness, the development of high-speed railways stands as a testament to human ingenuity and progress. Spanning continents and cultures, these railway networks not only facilitate efficient travel but also serve as symbols of architectural prowess and modernity. Let's embark on a journey from the ancient streets of Rome to the vibrant metropolis of Hong Kong, exploring seven new high-speed railway stations designed by some of the world's most renowned architects. 👉 Rome Tiburtina Station, Italy - Serving as a gateway to Rome, Tiburtina Station is not just a transport hub but a marvel of modern architecture. Designed by ABDR Architects, it embodies sleek lines and functional spaces, blending seamlessly with the urban fabric while offering efficient connectivity. 👉 Hong Kong West Kowloon Terminus, China - Bromberg Architects' design for the West Kowloon Terminus in Hong Kong epitomizes the city's commitment to cutting-edge infrastructure. With its striking silhouette and state-of-the-art facilities, the station serves as a gateway to mainland China, seamlessly connecting Hong Kong to the global high-speed rail network. 👉 Kénitra Station, Morocco - D’Ascia Architects' Kénitra Station in Morocco exemplifies the transformative power of rail infrastructure in emerging economies. Its contemporary design and sustainable features symbolize Morocco's commitment to modernization and connectivity, driving economic growth and social development in the region.

🌳 🪵 As part of the W.A.V.E. project, the Luxembourg Wood Cluster, managed by Luxinnovation GIE, organised an expert workshop on innovation approaches on 5 November in Leudelange. The workshop was organised in partnership with the project's Belgian and German consortium.   🌳 🪵 This expert workshop focused on innovations in the sustainable construction sector, with a presentation of two outstanding projects showing the specificities of using wood-steel beams and wood-concrete composite beams in static timber construction. The workshop was followed by a technical visit to the ALLEGRA and WOODEN projects. 🌳 🪵 The 60 experts present were able to discuss and exchange views on the advantages and challenges of systemic construction, focusing on the technological and planning aspects of wood composite construction, as well as the differences in regulations in each of the territories and the obstacles that this still creates to greater use of wood. 🌳 🪵 We still need to make further progress in order to take a step back from the experiments that have been carried out and learn from them in favour of wood materials.  Ligne Bois,DLG-AVG Bau, IZES gGmbH, Société Royale Forestière de Belgique and FILIERE BOIS WALLONIE also took part in the discussions. 👉 Well done to Luxinnovation GIE for this excellent organisation. 👏
