This ancient structure exemplifies the remarkable durability and ingenuity of early engineering. Bridge infrastructure has long been essential to connectivity, from ancient Roman stone arch bridges, known for their durability, to today's modern marvels. Combining innovative design and engineering precision, bridges enhance mobility and shape the identities of cities. At the 12th Australian Small Bridges Conference and Exhibition, SMEC’s bridge specialists will showcase their engineering achievements through a range of important topics, including insights on fire hazards in bridge structures, improvements to current construction methodologies, the adoption of alternative design considerations, and key pedestrian bridge projects delivered in the last 12 months that are connecting and strengthening communities. Together, we aim to build more than just structures—we strive to shape resilient, sustainable urban environments that reflect our dedication to innovation, collaboration, and making a meaningful impact on the world.

It’s a thin line between totally unique and game-changing ideas and the more difficult and important task of executing that vision into reality. In the world of Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC), Katerra stood astride an industry poised for a new way of doing things in a manner that would remove the middleman and allow one stop shopping. Unfortunately, it didn’t go down that way. In this seminal article by Daniel Davis the age-old tension between ideas and executing upon those ideas is often a chasm.

👏 P U B L I C S T A T E M E N T: And here is the public statement from Moriyama Teshima Architects on the recent and abrupt closure of the Ontario Science Centre by the Ontario Government | Gouvernement de l’Ontario The landmark 1969 building by renowned Japanese Canadian architect Raymond Moriyama was closed following an engineering report by Rimkus with the Ontario government citing that the report found “serious structural issues with the Ontario Science Centre building.” While these issues would not be expected to materialize until the winter, according to Infrastructure Ontario, the intervening months were needed “for staff to safely vacate the building.” A deep dive into the engineering report revealed a different story. It suggests that the building’s key exhibition areas could continue to operate safely for years to come—even if the Ontario government chooses not to invest in any structural roof repairs this year. #OntarioScienceCentre #SaveTheScienceCentre #architecture #heritage #historiclandmark #canadianarchitecture Elizabeth Pagliacolo Stefan Novakovic Eric Mutrie AZURE Media Canadian Architect magazine

Today kicks off the crucial five-year Floating Future research into large-scale floating construction Many cities situated in coastal areas are vulnerable to sea level rise and at the same time, they have a scarcity of space. Extreme weather events may give rise to high or low water levels in rivers and more space is consequently needed to accommodate big water flows or to store water for periods of drought. In the Netherlands and other deltas around the world the space for housing and industry is becoming limited due to these developments. What can floating construction contribute to the long-term habitability of the Netherlands? This urgent question is what a consortium led by MARIN (Maritime Research Institute Netherlands), consisting of five universities, three research institutes, three colleges and dozens of societal partners from the public sector, will tackle in the coming years. Space&Matter and Common City will lend their expertise in proven examples of floating architecture and research into floating urban planning.

I am thrilled to announce that I am part of the Publicity Committee for the upcoming 10th International Conference on Architecture, Materials, and Construction (ICAMC 2024), which will be held at the University of Lisbon, Portugal, from October 15 to 18, 2024. The theme for ICAMC 2024 is "Engineering the Future: Shaping a Sustainable Landscape," a topic that is especially relevant given our rapid technological advancements, energy challenges, and environmental concerns. The conference will be exploring: 🔹 The future of architecture, materials, and construction in the face of global challenges. 🔹 Innovations in building materials offering superior performance, durability, and sustainability. 🔹 The evolution of construction practices to meet the demands of multi-functionality and environmental conservation. This conference is a prime opportunity for experts, researchers, and enthusiasts to come together and forge pathways toward a more sustainable and innovative future. #ICAMC2024 #SustainableConstruction #InnovativeMaterials #FutureOfArchitecture #EngineeringTheFuture
