WE LOVE (sustainable) PROTOTYPES! ❣ - And we love witnessing the industry embrace and collaborate with design students on a shared mission to shape a better tomorrow through innovative design approaches 🌍 Design denmark was present at the exhibition opening and presentations after 120 master students from the Department of Architecture and Design had developed sustainable prototypes during a two-week workshop, with the purpose to showcase new ideas on how design can contribute to sustainability in the future. They were given a design challenge by one of the following companies: Ege Carpets, CPH Village, New Loop, Henning Larsen Architects, and SMALLrevolution. Prototyping is much more than just testing if your design works—it's an opportunity to improve and develop the design and product, also in terms of sustainability. However, the prototyping process itself must also be sustainable, or we risk creating double standards and backlash. Sustainability choices are often made early in the design phase, giving designers a key role in creating products that respect the planet's resources. The representative from Design denmark was impressed by the range of products that emerged from a sustainable prototyping process at this workshop. See more on the workshop and the cases here: https://lnkd.in/dJitq_pN The project was a collaboration between the Department of Architecture and Design at the Royal Danish Academy and BLOXHUB. Project in video is for SMALLrevolution.

Adapting to technological advancement and the changing needs of society resulted in pushing the boundaries of creativity and design. Art and technology have always been separate areas that are pushing the boundaries of human creativity and imagination. #realestate #hotelsandmotels #sustainability #housing #graphicdesign

MY RELEVANT „DOOR OPENER“. THE POWER OF TRANSFORMATION in Architecture and Design. „Transforming negativ energy into positive drive. Thats how i got aware of the enormous power of change into good.“ Now, in 2024, there is a huge „playground“ for letting change happen by creativity, new mind sets, unpredictable constellations and wonderful new experiences through design. My very first book back in 1999 is about 2 parallel projects dealing with „poison“… and the power of transformation. 25 years later the thoughts still carry my DNA path of creating. „The book is dedicated to all those structures that are loaded with poison. Whether it is a system of empty petrol storage tanks or a historical Landhaus from 1700, A.R.C.H.O.N.P.O.I.S.O.N. (Architecture on Poison) deals with structures which are welcome or not, destroyed or renovated, accepted or despised, structures looking forward neither to being replaced nor to ending in archives of conservation, but to an activation of their latent transformative power." With these words, Guy Lafranchi introduces two of his recent projects, which at first glance seem quite different, but which are related on his radically conceived conceptual ground. By weaving together the realized "Landhaus" project and the unbuilt "Tank" project, Lafranchi invokes the power of architecture to transform meaning as well as space, the symbolic as well as the instrumental, liberating its potential to deepen our understanding and experience of the world. As Lebbeus Woods writes in his Preface: "The RIEA book series is devoted to the exposure of young talent and fresh ideas. None could be more appropriate for our first monograph on the work of an architect than A.R.C.H.O.N.P.O.I.S.O.N.. It offers, I believe, a challenging glimpse into architectures future.“ Want to take a different approach and boost for Your challenges in urban planning, residential, experience and exhibition spaces, furniture and objects?

We often see this word in advertisements, in the news, and in the statements of big companies, and it has quickly become a part of our lives, mostly in the last decade. So what does sustainability mean for us in terms of the ecosystem we live in, our homes, and the world of design? #realestate #hotelsandmotels #sustainability #housing #graphicdesign

Learn Architecture like never before from most engaging online courses at Eduwik.com Blueprint for Impacting Lives: A First Year’s Guide to Architecture Read Full Article>https://ow.ly/VE7850SkwYW Article by>Eden Elenwoke The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines architecture as the art or practice of designing and building structures, especially habitable ones. From the definition, it would be right to infer that the design—or architecture—of spaces directly impacts the quality of lives humans tend to live. #branding #environment #education #fashion #architecture #arquitectura

A little over a century ago, pre-rationalisation was the dominant design method followed in our region where context, needs, function, and the laws of physics were the main drivers that shaped the design, while philosophy and art injected purpose, spirit and life into it. The mastermind behind the entire design and delivery process was the Masterbuilder, who was the philosopher, architect, artist, engineer, construction expert, QS, and project manager all in one - a true interdisciplinary master. Nowadays, post-rationalisation has become the dominant design trend, where a catchy artistic vision or sales pitch is created first in an imaginary cloud, almost completely detached from reality, and later imposed upon a certain context, where needs, function and the laws of physics are all bent to fit the narrative of the artistic vision or sales pitch. This is managable when dealing with a relatively small statement building (like a museum of art) or development (small residential complex) but it can end up being an environmental, social, and economic disaster when imposed upon larger developments and cities. Now that you can analyse various aspects of the design so quickly and precisely, you would think that technology would have made pre-rationalisation a lot easier to achieve (indeed, it can) and therefore more popular in the Built-environment? Reality is, the segregation of disciplines, coupled with technology, is empowering unscientific trends and streamlining post-rationalisation disproportionately; On one hand, architects are almost entirely voided of scientific and techncial skills, but are instead indoctrinated with psuodo science and ideological clichés with no means to challenge or validate them, yet they have powerful modelling and visualisation tools at their display that can make any unfeasible design look real-ish. On the other hand, engineers, contractors, and manufacturers are almost entirely voided of design philosophy, art, and feeling for aesthetics, and are instead obsessed with codes, standards, and efficiency. Crossbreeds like architects who can think like engineers and contractors, and like engineers and contractors who can think like architects are becoming extinct, and don't get me started with project managers... This ever expanding gap between disciplines is evident in the schizophrenia that we are experiencing today in the Built-environment, where we either produce wasteful artistic buildings that make no functional or technical sense yet we give them fancy lables like 'iconic' and 'sustainable', or we produce cheap commercial soulless buildings that will fall apart in 20 to 30 years, yet we label them as 'Green' and 'Cost-effective'. We desperately need to bring back balance and genuinity into the Built-environment. We need a more genuine interdisciplinary approach to how we create and deliver our visions...
