🏢 #EQUITONEProject | Hamburg, Germany The building for the new interdisciplinary emergency and admissions ward for a children’s hospital in Hamburg, successfully creates a peaceful environment with a sense of security for the patients receiving treatment or recovering there. The single storey building has three angled metal fins that extend the entire height of the building and a front-hung facade of EQUITONE [tectiva] fibre cement panels that still clearly frames the building and gives it a somewhat playful appearance. The light grey, through-coloured panels were mounted on an aluminium substructure in the form of horizontal louvers. At the points where it was intended that light and air should enter the interior, they were mounted at different angles; thus constituting to the construction of a remarkable facade that is highly unusual for a hospital.

Today, I saw this amazing frame structure in the park, where the main beams are made of solid wood, multiply spot-connected through metal fastening connectors. A great example of using solid wood in modern public art objects. The perfect combination of aesthetics and functionality. Projects like this inspire the implementation of sustainable architectural solutions in the construction of modern public parks. #SustainableArchitecture #WoodConstruction #PublicArt #EcoFriendlyDesign #Bulgaria

OUT NOW! Das Fenster in der römischen Architektur Zur Funktion und Bedeutung eines architektonischen Bauteils in der Wohn- und Thermenarchitektur von der Republik bis zum 3. Jh. n. Chr. by Martin Wagner 👉 Windows are multifunctional elements within roman architecture. Their number, size, and type of shutters help us understand the use of architectural spaces within their time. Windows, together with the décor of such spaces, are able to create certain atmospheres, sometimes even heterotopias, which are dissociated from the real world. Whereas houses and baths have been studied for a long time, the analysis of windows and their functions was often neglected and has been the subject of only a few articles. This book aims to summarize research results and close the gap of research regarding methods of window and shutter construction and their features. It traces the evolution of windows over more than 500 years of architectural history, taking into account not only their pragmatic functions but their cognitive-sensualistic effects as well. 📕Read online for free or buy and enjoy it in print at https://lnkd.in/eKmabB9D #Romanarchitecture #Romanglass #Antiquity
