📰 New Era in Architecture & Construction? I came across this interesting article by Francesc Zamora on Architizer... It covers a range of topics but the main theme is the use of hybrid construction material and techniques to adapt to efficiency expectations and rising costs in the industry. These new solutions and technologies might just be the answer the industry needs to meet technical demands and the intense focus on environmental concerns. Have a little read below and let me know your thoughts in the comments! https://lnkd.in/eEsek_Nv

"I think the contrast between old and new shows a great respect for history and breathes new life into buildings. Adaptive reuse projects are great examples of seeing restrictions as challenges and the result is unique and resilient architecture." Today, we get to know 30UNDER30's Amanda Beck, a senior project coordinator at Billard Leece Partnership. Read our Q&A with Beck below. #architecture #30UNDER30 #adr30UNDER30

Reused concrete from 1960s modernist social housing project finds new life in low-emission concrete-based building. The MiniCO₂ Multi-Storey Building CONCRETE recycles concrete from Gellerupparken to minimise climate impact below 5 kg CO₂eq/m²/year in the experimental building. The project is initiated by Realdania By & Byg and is a collaboration with CEBRA, Søren Jensen, Bo Michelsen A/S, Slaatto Morsbøl, Byggeselskabet C.F. Hansen ApS, and Kingo. Currently, the team is experimenting with the technique of spolia - an ancient concept referring to the reuse of fragments from earlier constructions in new buildings. In practice, the reused fragments come from a concrete building, which is currently being demolished. These elements will be used, among other places, in the building's foundation, where they will create a decorative feature. While experimenting with reused elements, the team also works to minimise the parts constructed with new concrete, such as columns, floor slabs, load-bearing walls, and staircases. Advanced digital tools are employed here, focusing on slimmer structures and reduced material use.

We’re looking forward to sharing more insights next year. #CEBRAarchitecture #MiniCO2
