Swiss company IMPACT ACOUSTIC® wins the prestigious iF Design Award 2024 for its Archisonic Cotton acoustic material. Made from recycled cotton cellulose, it's the first fully circular acoustic material globally, absorbing 60% of sound. This recognition highlights IMPACT ACOUSTIC®'s commitment to sustainability and innovation in design. The team's dedication to sustainable solutions is mentioned. Archisonic Cotton represents a step forward in eco-friendly architectural design. https://lnkd.in/dhFwNcdd Sven Erni Jeffrey Ibañez Timur Elmas Daniel Verlooven Hans Oury Joël Laurent Kuan-Wen Chiu Remco Van Der Wijk #sustainability #innovation #designexcellence #ecofriendly #circulareconomy #recycling #acoustics #greenbuilding #environment #switzerland #esg #awardwinner #recycledmaterials #soundabsorption #architecturaldesign #sustainableliving #innovativedesign #environmentallyfriendly #ifdesignaward #impactacoustic #cotton #recyclability #sustainablebusiness #sustainablematerials #architecture #sustainableinnovation #sustainablefuture #designaward #environmentalresponsibility #sustainabledevelopment #ecodesign #sustainabledesign #sustainableproducts #greenmaterials

At Aedium Design, sustainability isn't an afterthought, it's woven into the fabric of everything we do. We believe beautiful spaces can coexist with a healthy planet – that's not an option, it's an imperative.   This World Environment Day, we're reflecting on our ongoing commitment to a greener planet. We are not just talking the talk, we are walking the walk! Our Managing Director, Deepu S. Prakash weighs in on how and what sustainability looks like in action, at Aedium Design.   We are striving to make a difference. Are you?   #TogetherWeCan #WorldEnvironmentDay #SustainabilityMatters #MakeADifference

Happy World Environment Day! As architects, we have a unique responsibility that goes beyond aesthetics. We shape the spaces where lives unfold. This year, I'm energized by the potential of sustainable design. It's not just about minimizing our environmental impact, but creating inspiring spaces that resonate with nature. But sustainability extends beyond function. Locally sourced, recycled, or rapidly renewable materials minimize emissions while creating unique aesthetics. Buildings become reflections of their environment, fostering a deeper connection with the local landscape. What excites you most about sustainable design? Share your thoughts! Let's push the boundaries of green architecture together. We can create spaces that inspire not just human connection, but a deeper connection with our planet. #SustainableArchitecture #BuiltGreen #aedium #designingresponsibily #togetherwecan #worldenvironmentday

🚀 The Intersection of Architecture and Sustainability 🌍 Ever thought about how your love for design can make the world a better place? As an architect, I'm constantly exploring sustainable practices in our projects. It's not just about aesthetics but the future of our planet. Incorporating eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient designs, and innovative technologies isn't just trendy—it's a necessity for responsible design. Using reclaimed wood or solar panels can drastically reduce a building's carbon footprint. Additionally, biophilic design principles not only help the environment but also enhance human well-being by connecting us to nature. However, achieving sustainability goes beyond materials and technology; it requires a shift in mindset. We need to continuously educate ourselves, clients, and collaborators on the importance of these practices. How are you integrating sustainability into your projects? Let's share ideas and inspire each other to build a greener future! 🍃👷♂️🌿

Discover the beauty of #Upcycling this week on Archdaily! 🔄🏡 Famous for its sustainable charm, upcycling gives new life to old materials - a brilliant design solution benefiting both homeowners and developers ♻️💰. This revolutionary concept not only reduces waste in a world increasingly conscious of its environmental footprint👣, but also delivers unique, cost-effective and high-quality designs for architects to work with👩🔧👷♂️. This is more than just a trend, it's a new way of looking at materials and buildings that could transform our industry. Let's break our old habits, and build towards a sustainable future. 💚🏗️ #Archdaily #Upcycling #Sustainability #BuildingFuture!

Sustainable design and innovative reuse are at the heart of what we do as a firm. In an article featured in Work Design Magazine, Erica Godun, Director, Sustainability, highlights ways to be "circular" in your design process, and why it is important. https://bit.ly/3VLFW8b #WareMalcomb #Sustainability #ThoughtLeadership

Have you heard about the world's first zero-waste exhibition stand? This design by Paradigm uses these cool "Reform" tiles made from – wait for it –  discarded event carpet! https://lnkd.in/dfmq4RPa What really excites me is how versatile these things are—building curved walls, funky product displays, even furniture – all out of recycled carpet! Plus, say goodbye to mountains of plastic wrap and leftover building materials. These tiles click together with their bare hands, meaning no screws, nails, or wasteful packaging. This is a huge leap forward for our field. I can't wait to see how this innovation inspires even more eco-friendly booth ideas. The future of booths is looking bright (and green)!♻️🍃

This should implement at every parking lot.

Stop and Smell the Roses: How Biophilic Design Connects Us to Nature Our modern lives can feel detached from the natural world. We spend over 90% of our time indoors, immersed in technology. But emerging research shows our brains are wired to connect with nature. Biophilic design taps into this innate need, boosting health, well-being, and sustainability. Biophilic spaces incorporate natural elements like sunlight, plants and organic shapes. Studies link these to reduced stress, increased creativity and faster healing. It's a scientifically proven way to make buildings more human-centred. As our planet faces climate and biodiversity crises, biophilic principles are critical. Sustainable architecture minimizes environmental harm with renewable materials and energy efficiency. Occupants feel more appreciation for the natural world, spurring conservation. Biophilic design isn't just feel-good - it's good business. Creating welcoming, energising spaces improves productivity and satisfaction. As urbanisation increases globally, biophilic buildings will be key to keeping us grounded. The future is green. Let's build a world where we can see the forest for the trees. https://lnkd.in/edMrixfX
