Case Study: Port 393 Holland, MI Description: Port 393 is a lakefront venue that values the aesthetic look of an architectural block while trying to save on energy. Omni Block was the best fit for this project as it comes in architectural block finishes while upholding the energy code. #insulatedconcreteblock #masonry #concreteblock #architecture #energyefficient

Chicago-based architecture and design practice Office of Dillon Pranger (ODP) designed a pavilion which consists of stacks of standard dimensional lumber. When a building’s lifespan ends, in the best-case scenario, it is demounted and all materials are reused or recycled. However, this is currently not often the case. Even with the best intention during the construction phase, the materials have often undergone substantial transformations (like cuts and notches) and irreversible connections (glues, nails, etcetera). Called WoodStack, the structure was designed to challenges the notion of permanence in building construction, while “questioning our perception of material value by blurring the lines between what is a stack of lumber, a material depot, and a structure.” Read more at https://lnkd.in/etKuvJFF #materialinspirarion #lumber #wood #timber #tomorrowstimber #pavilion #demountablearchitecture #architecture #officeofdillonpranger #odp #materialdistrict

Tensile structures can span large areas with minimal support columns, providing vast unobstructed spaces ideal for storage. These structures can be tailored to specific storage needs, accommodating various shapes and sizes of stored goods. #tensilestructure #architecture #tensilefabricstructure #steelstructure

Contemporary pop-up bookstores https://lnkd.in/dqtMhFhz Made primarily of timber, showcasing a unique and stylish facade. These concepts highlight the creative ways timber can be used in today's architecture.

For the facade of @oumwellnesscenter, we used technology developed by Cemex Research Center Cemex , a combination of two concrete mixes with different properties, Resilia, a high-performance concrete, and Pervia, a porous concrete. The concept of this facade, developed by Picharchitects/Pich-Aguilera, considers the utilization of the porous concrete as a passive cooling system for the building. By draining the AC condensation water into the porous concrete, this facade reduces the thermal sensation in the open spaces of the building by up to 5°C. 🖥️ Don’t forget to visit our website to learn more about Kinetica.📚 https://lnkd.in/gRsU3_QM #cemex #architecture #facade #concrete #HPC #complexgeometry #netzero #innovation #prefab #industrialdesign #architecture #designlovers #picoftheday #structure #instadesign #archdaily #process #design #architexture #resilia

Case Study: Allendale Lift Station The City of Allendale was looking for a cost-effective way to build a lift station while saving on energy costs. The Design incorporated two bands of different colored blocks to give the building a more modern masonry feel.

The self-imposed restrictions of classical and neo-classical Architecture were such that in order to satisfy the rythm of similar openings on the facade, the Architect had to design this little element to prevent people from falling since the rigid proportional requirements made this opening fall in front of this staircase! #architecture #neo-classicalarchitecture, #architecturalobservations, #vintage, #mauritius
