Intectural had a fantastic time exhibiting at Chicago Build! Our biggest takeaway? The strong demand for sustainable building solutions that truly work. Architects and builders are eager to move away from exotic hardwoods and petroleum-based products, and toward natural, U.S.-manufactured alternatives. A huge thank you to our newest partners, InventWood ! We're thrilled to help bring SuperWood to market—SuperWood is super light, super strong and naturally beautiful. We were also excited to introduce Yardhouse’s Pilar Pro, which was a major hit! A big thanks to the Yardhouse team for joining us and sharing the vision for beautiful outdoor spaces. As always, it was a pleasure to connect with so many talented designers and architects and share the stories behind Richlite Company , Arbor Wood Co. and Plyboo by Smith & Fong —all innovative, sustainable materials proudly offered by Intectural.

Can placing a park on top of a serpentine-shaped building, create a sense of community? Basecamp Lyngby is a socially interacting super structure that functions as a sustainable shared living community for 900 students, PhDs and senior citizens. The organic structure is inspired by the surrounding green area and a desire to bring people closer to the nature, and motivate them to interact with it and with one another. The organic volume is playfully wrapped around smaller courtyards, creating well defined intimate spaces for people to meet, read or simply enjoy life. The central round shaped building is the heart of the area. It visually reinforces the structure and interlinks the entire area by bringing together all the shared features such as the café, the gym, workshops, a cinema, and a library. ✍️ Lars Gitz Architects, Kragh Berglund Landscape Architecture and Urban Design

What are the start up AND maintenance costs involved in greening a rooftop like this? Question for planners, architects, landscape designers and urban greening enthusiasts. For example, are there waterproofing issues that need to be addressed on a regular basis? Other factors of wear and tear that need costing in? Seems to me that we can emphasise a lot of the health, social and environmental benefits of greening roofs - indeed it may be difficult to underestimate them. And I love the ones I’ve visited, mostly overseas eg in Tokyo. But I’d like to understand the cost-benefit in a comprehensive manner. So, what are the costs of a green roof?

Absolutely, placing a park on a serpentine-shaped building can foster a sense of community. The undulating design invites exploration and interaction, breaking the monotony of traditional urban layouts. It transforms the space into a social hub, blending nature with architecture, and encouraging spontaneous encounters. Green spaces inherently relax and connect people, offering a retreat from urban stress. However, the success hinges on thoughtful design—accessibility, safety, and inclusivity are key. Can the architecture seamlessly integrate diverse social activities, or will it merely be an aesthetic marvel? #UrbanDesign #CommunitySpaces #GreenArchitecture

Incorporating sustainability into design solutions is essential today for the future of tomorrow. One simple analogy is ‘Multi-functional spaces’, this is maximizing the use of available land and resources. Roof gardens and green roofs not only provide social spaces but also offer environmental benefits such as improved air quality, reduced urban heat island effect, and better stormwater management. These spaces can enhance urban biodiversity and provide residents with recreational areas, contributing to both environmental sustainability and community well-being. https://lnkd.in/gx6jaG2E

Woodio has been featured in Scandinavian MIND magazine on the topic of how wood-based innovations are reshaping home construction. 🌲 "We are used to using wood as a building material in our houses. However, it has become a promising material in the pursuit of more sustainable solutions in a variety of usage cases inside forward-looking buildings and decoration practices, four industry leaders — Terja Koskenoja/Woodio, Niklas von Weymarn/Metsä Spring, Hanna Johansson/Adsorbi, and Tage Johansson/Fiberwood Ltd — state in this opinion piece." 👉🏻 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dgwC7r4k #ScandinavianDesign #MaterialInnovation #WoodInnovation
