“Climate Positive Enclosures—Priorities and Process” I’m really looking forward to presenting and discussing this at BEST6 (Building Enclosure Science & Technology) in Austin next Tuesday with Brittany Coughlin and Ruwan Jayaweera! We'll be addressing the full potential of enclosure performance, including operational and #embodiedcarbon emissions. The crucial role that building enclosures play mitigating dynamic exterior and interior conditions, also provide significant opportunities for global climate benefits. #climatepositive #climateaction BRIC Architecture, Inc.

Navigating the delicate balance between preserving our heritage and embracing modern comfort is no small feat, especially when it comes to updating the heating systems in our beloved historical buildings. It's a journey that takes us deep into the heart of our architectural past, requiring a careful blend of respect for tradition and the latest in heating technology. Our latest article sheds light on this intricate process, from the importance of understanding a building's historical value to the complexities of choosing the right system that respects its integrity.

On this Cesar Chavez Day, we're not only honoring the legacy of a remarkable leader but also celebrating a piece of history right here in Los Angeles – the Cesar Chavez-Macy Street Bridge! Did you know that this iconic bridge is designated as Los Angeles City Historic-Cultural Monument No. 224? It's been a part of our city's landscape since 1926, standing as a testament to our rich transportation history and architectural heritage. Constructed during the major bridge-building decade of 1923-1933, the Cesar Chavez/Macy Street Bridge is one of a group of 12 river bridges significant for their role in shaping the transportation landscape of Los Angeles. Chief Engineer Merrill Butler, a prominent bridge designer of the era, left his mark on this iconic structure. Today, as we celebrate the achievements of Cesar Chavez, let's also take a moment to appreciate the historical significance of the Cesar Chavez-Macy Street Bridge. It's more than just a bridge – it's a symbol of our city's resilience, ingenuity, and enduring spirit. #civilengineering #Bridges #Infrastructure #StructuralEngineering #WaterResources #Construction #Sustainability #CesarChavezDay #LosAngelesHistory #CesarChavezBridge #ASCE 🌉🏙️

Recognizing all of the Structural Engineers I've worked with past and present that have worked on skyscrapers across the world! My personal favorite is 432 Park Avenue because it was one of the first I saw up close, on my first visit to NYC #worldskyscraperday #structuralengineering #buildingdesign

An interesting take on 8 Bishopsgate in the Architectural Record article linked below. I contributed some engineering tidbits that help explain how the building balances beautiful architecture with intelligent engineering. Want to find out more? Give it a read, it's worth it. ⬇

Automatic doors are a ubiquitous part of modern architecture, providing convenience, accessibility, and efficiency in various public and private spaces. However, the safety and reliability of these doors are paramount. The BS EN16005 standard plays a crucial role in ensuring that automatic doors operate safely and effectively.
