What if we could use computational design to make concrete structures so thin they were virtually carbon neutral? This video showcases the construction process of a thin concrete shell constructed using fabric and cable net formwork, built together with students at the Architecture and Engineering programme at Chalmers University of Technology during a three-day workshop in the course "Digital Tools - Parametric Design". The theme of the workshop was based on the research performed by Block Research Group, ETH Zurich, "Design process for prototype concrete shells using a hybrid cable-net and fabric formwork" by Diederik Veenendaal and Philippe Block ♻️ Emil Adiels #parametricdesign #shells #geometry #computationaldesign #formfinding #concreteshells #architecture #structuralengineering #education

Happy Pi Day to all our friends and colleagues in the architecture, engineering, and construction fields! 🥧📏🏗️ Today, as we celebrate the mathematical constant π (Pi), let's take a moment to appreciate how this fascinating number plays a crucial role in our daily work. From calculating the circular dimensions of structures to optimizing design layouts and ensuring the stability of our constructions, π is at the heart of many of our engineering marvels. Pi Day is not just about enjoying a slice of pie; it's a reminder of the beauty and precision mathematics brings into our world, especially within the AEC industry. It pushes us to innovate, design more efficiently, and bring our creative visions to life with accuracy and elegance. Let's raise our glasses (or pie slices) to π, a small symbol with immense impact on our work, driving progress and excellence in architecture, engineering, and construction. Here's to many more years of building the future, one π-powered project at a time! #PiDay #ImagineDesignConstruct #Architecture #Engineers #Construction #ConstructionInnovation #MathInRealLife 🍕🏛️🌉

The sustainability of Aluminum & Metal Composite Materials (#ACM/#MCM) makes it an ideal material to utilize for projects prioritizing environmental impact. As #sustainability becomes an increasingly important consideration in architecture, aluminum composite materials have gained favor for their energy-efficient properties. The reflective surface of aluminum helps to minimize heat absorption, reducing the need for extensive cooling systems in buildings. This not only contributes to energy conservation but also makes ACM an environmentally conscious choice.

SSP Architects pros enjoyed giving #westorangehighschool students valuable insights into the #architecturedesign field, as well as their college and career experiences to better inform the high school student's decisions on studying #architecture in college and making it their career choice. Should they take the plunge? What skills do they need? These issues were among the five major points to consider when deciding to major in architecture. #architecturestudents #ssparchitects #wewillgetyouthere #designstudents #westorangenj https://lnkd.in/gGeniv99

What is the maximum recommended cavity dimension in standard #rainscreen façades composed of off-the-shelf, standard, and tested system parts? Which elements of ventilated rainscreen façades could limit the maximum cavity size? This diagram is one of hundreds from our comprehensive Applied Façade Engineering Foundation Course. https://lnkd.in/ePF5Kd_5 The IAST learning materials are made by practising professionals for the benefit of practising professionals, addressing the real need for developing, maintaining and demonstrating competence in the construction industry. Variations of these questions are also likely to be included in the Baseline Competence Test, which the IAST is developing in collaboration with The Joint Competence Initiative For The Building Envelopes Sector (JCI).  Join our community by participating in discussions and leaving feedback on our learning materials! #facadeengineering #facades #architecturaltechnology #architecture #facadedesign #beselinecompetence

When we think of high performance buildings, what comes to mind? For students of the Master of Engineering Leadership in High Performance Buildings, the answer to this question is constantly expanding. The MEL is an interdisciplinary program that brings professionals together to learn the skills to push the boundaries of what's possible — such as a focus on regenerative architecture design that goes beyond conventional boundaries of architecture and engineering. Graduates of the #MEL in High Performance Buildings are revolutionizing the field and expanding what is possible to work towards a more sustainable future.

Teaching Tuesday What does the use of computational tools and parametric design look like in the future of architecture? In the future, architecture will increasingly involve computational tools and parametric design. This means architects will use algorithms and digital technologies to create buildings with intricate and dynamic forms. This approach allows for greater flexibility and customization, optimizing designs for factors like structural integrity, energy efficiency, and aesthetics. Essentially, computational architecture enables architects to explore innovative design solutions that were previously difficult or impossible to achieve, leading to more efficient, sustainable, and visually striking buildings in the future.
