As architects and planners, we are constantly faced with the challenge of balancing preservation and development. How do we respect and protect the historic and cultural heritage of our communities while also creating innovative and sustainable solutions for the future? At CCC Architects, we believe that historic preservation is not only compatible with modern architecture and planning, but also essential for it. We see historic preservation as a way of enhancing the quality and diversity of our built environment, fostering a sense of place and identity, and promoting economic and social benefits. Here are some of the ways we incorporate historic preservation into our projects: - We conduct thorough research and analysis of the historical, architectural, and cultural significance of the buildings and sites we work with. We document and interpret their stories and values, and share them with the public and stakeholders. - We design interventions that respect and complement the original character and context of the historic buildings and sites. We use compatible materials, techniques, and styles, and avoid alterations that would compromise their integrity or authenticity. - We adapt and reuse historic buildings and sites for new purposes and functions, while preserving their essential features and qualities. We find creative ways to integrate modern technologies and amenities, such as energy efficiency, accessibility, and safety, without compromising the historic character. - We collaborate and engage with the local community and relevant authorities throughout the process. We seek their input and feedback, and address their concerns and expectations. We aim to create solutions that benefit both the present and future generations. We invite you to visit our website and social media pages to learn more about our work and vision. We also welcome your comments and questions, and look forward to hearing from you. #HistoricPreservation #ModernArchitecture #AdaptiveReuse #SustainableDesign #CCCarchitects

Arc View International Architeture and Urbanism TURNING DREAMS INTO STRUCTURES When it comes to architecture, Brazilian architects are among the best in the world. France, the United States, Canada, Israel, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom, among other countries, are places where you can find the masterpieces of Oscar Niemeyer, a true luminary in Brazilian architecture and one of my mentors in this field. #Architecture #Urbanism #Revit #Archicad #Sketchup #AutocadDrafter #ArchitecturalDesigner #BIMModeler #Lumion3DVisualizationDrafter

As World Landscape Architecture Month draws to a close today it is important that we acknowledge and apprecitate all the contributions Landscape Architects make to keep us all connected to nature. As we continue to populate urban centres it is essential that we never lose sight of the value of landscape architecure, not only as an aesthetic but critical to the environmental health of our urban systems (increasingly our planet), as well as our mental and social well being.

ARCHITECTURE, EUROPE, LIVING ENVIRONMENT National Institute of Architecture – IN/Arch has created Architecture, Europe, Living Environment program for Euro-community cooperation on design culture, activating international relations with ministries, consulates, cultural institutes, municipalities and associations. Balanced transformations of living environments are fostered by broad visions, informed by complexity, oriented towards identifying real common objectives and qualifying social, cultural and geographical diversity as essential values. This principle emerges in the EU Work Plan on Culture 2023-2026, which affirms the decisive role of culture and cultural heritage in developing social relationships and territorial cohesion, contributing to inclusiveness and economic and environmental sustainability. As Bruno Zevi said in 1959: “IN/ARCH owes the place and the table around which the forces that produce architecture come together”. https://lnkd.in/dDcUAaMB Stay tuned!
