In Karuizawa, Japan, a house stands out for its innovative construction using the world's first CO2-removing concrete. Situated near Nagano, Karuizawa is a renowned mountain resort town, attracting visitors with its mild summers and scenic surroundings. Designed by Japanese studio Nendo, the house features walls made of "CO2-SUICOM," a sustainable concrete developed by Kajima, Chugoku Electric Power Co., Denka, and Landes Co. CO2-SUICOM reduces carbon emissions by incorporating an industrial byproduct and a carbon dioxide-absorbing material. The CO2-removing concrete is a response to the environmental impact of cement and concrete production, which contributes to about 8% of global carbon emissions. In Japan alone, energy-related CO2 emissions from the cement industry constitute around 1.2% of the country's total emissions. Nendo's design concept focuses on using concrete block walls as filter screens, merging sustainability with architectural innovation to create a modern, eco-friendly home.

💥The Petronas Towers, also known as the Petronas Twin Towers, are iconic skyscrapers located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. They were the tallest buildings in the world from 1998 to 2004 and remain the tallest twin towers to this day. 💥Sky Bridge: A double-decker sky bridge connects the two towers at the 41st and 42nd floors, which is about 170 meters (558 feet) above street level. This sky bridge is not only a structural marvel but also serves as a public observation deck. 🚀Follow Ethen Laing for the latest insights in AI and tech innovations

T𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘀 𝗧𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘀: 𝗔 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 The sky is not the limit... it's just the beginning! The Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur are famous examples of how amazing modern engineering can be. They're really tall, reaching 447 m or 1,483 feet (that's about as tall as three football fields stacked on top of each other!), and they were the world's tallest buildings from 1998 to 2004. What makes these towers truly remarkable is not just their height but the innovative engineering solutions that enable them to defy gravity and nature. They feature a unique tube-in-tube structural design, which provides exceptional strength and stability. This design minimizes the need for interior columns, allowing for spacious and flexible interior layouts. The towers are also adorned with a stunning facade of reflective glass and stainless steel, creating a striking appearance that changes with the shifting light and weather conditions. The sky bridge that connects the two towers on the 41st and 42nd floors adds to their allure, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the city. Additionally, the Petronas Towers are engineered to withstand the region's frequent seismic activity and tropical storms: their construction involved the use of advanced materials and construction techniques, pushing the boundaries of what was previously thought possible in skyscraper design. Beyond their engineering prowess, the Petronas Towers have become a symbol of Malaysia's progress and ambition, attracting millions of visitors each year. They serve as a reminder that when human ingenuity and engineering excellence combine, the sky is not the limit... it's just the beginning! #structuralengineering #steelstructure #skyscraper #tower #engineering For more: 📌 Follow #ImpressiveEngineering 📌 Click on the 🔔

Falls from height are a significant cause of work-related fatalities and injuries. They contribute to more than a third of total workplace fatalities in Singapore every year. Whether you work at height every day or only on occasion, working safely should always remain a top priority. It takes one mistake to turn a routine task into a severe injury or fatality. AlfaTech Asia always ensures and is prepared to protect our employees each and every time they could be exposed to a fall hazard. We take safety seriously and as our top priority. Here are 4 simple ways to improve safety for Work-At-Height.

#waterconservation #architecture #sustainabledesign #japanesedesign #japaneserainchain #urbanarchitecture #rainchain RAIN CHAINS IN SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE One of the most beautiful, versatile, economical and functional garden water features is a Rain Chain. Japanese attention to detail, line and harmony is manifest in their landscape for all to see. Now new building materials are making it possible for architects to incorporate this practical, cooling feature in residential and commercial planning. Rain Chains can be used in as many ways as can be imagined, to capture small to immense amounts of water, depending on purpose. This website has many examples of how to use rain chains, and a gallery where I have focused on a truly sustainable green and water conserving high rise building. Who wouldn't feel more relaxed in rooms behind blinds of trickling water and plants?

[✅ Iconic steel structures] 👉 Rising majestically into the Malaysian sky, the Petronas Towers are not just an iconic landmark but a celebration of architectural and engineering brilliance. 🏙️ These twin jewels of Kuala Lumpur, once the tallest buildings in the world, continue to captivate with their striking design and the ingenuity of their construction.   At the core of this marvel lies the innovative use of a steel skeleton, a testament to the wonders of modern engineering. 🛠️ The towers' steel framework is not only essential for supporting their massive height but also for embodying the fusion of traditional Islamic designs with contemporary building techniques.   The challenge of constructing such colossal structures in a region prone to both seismic activity and tropical storms was met with groundbreaking solutions, including a deep foundation system and a unique sky bridge that connects the twins, offering stability and a symbol of unity.   Crafted from thousands of tons of steel, the skeleton is the unsung hero of the towers, allowing them to stand tall and graceful against the Kuala Lumpur skyline. The intricate lattice work, inspired by motifs found in Islamic art, not only serves a structural purpose but also adds to the aesthetic elegance of the design.🔩

What if I were given the chance to rewind time and redesign the RTS Link Johor-Singapore? If granted the opportunity to rewind time and redesign the RTS link between Johor and Singapore, I would develop a comprehensive plan integrating innovative solutions and contemporary architectural design. My vision would prioritize operational efficiency and passenger comfort, creating a seamless transit system that enhances connectivity and stands as a distinguished landmark, reflecting the dynamic relationship between the two regions. The design would embody clean, sleek lines, meticulously crafted to evoke a sense of awe and admiration among commuters and visitors alike, symbolizing a harmonious blend of functionality and aesthetic appeal. The interior would be designed to appear as if sculpted by wind and water, seamlessly blending with the surrounding city and nature. This approach creates a serene and inviting atmosphere. Utilizing wood as a primary material would enhance sustainability, ensuring the project's environmental responsibility while adding warmth and natural beauty to the structure. ---- Greetings, I'm Adam, an enthusiast of architectural visualization Since 2015, I've dedicated myself to mastering the art of transforming concepts into compelling visual representations. 🤝 Feel free to follow or connect with me for more insights on archviz! ♻️ Please repost if you find this information valuable! #3D #RTS #Architecture #Design #Grasshopper #Rhinoceros #Rendering #Visualization #D5 #Parametric #Johor #Singapore #MRT
