#CONSTRUCTION & #ARCHITECTURE: Orlando International Airport - MCO to refurbish Terminals A and B The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority: Orlando International (MCO) and Executive (ORL) Airports board has approved a request for a statement of qualifications (RSQ) for the refurbishment of the interiors at Airsides 1 and 3 and the interior refurbishment of Levels 1 and 2 in Terminals A and B of Orlando International Airport (MCO) in Florida. The two US$20m projects are intended to keep MCO evolving its signature look and feel into the next decade. The authority’s goal is to bring the remaining facilities up to an elevated standard. The scope of the RSQs will consist of the design and construction of landside and airside interior refurbishment and will include all associated systems and regulatory requirements, new flooring, new wall finishes and new ceilings and lighting improvements. The aviation authority will establish small and minority-owned business participation goals before the release of the RSQs.

Terry Rookard’s recent publication, “Boston Dyed Red,” in Domus Air International Aviation’s latest issue provides an insightful look into the addition, renovations and major upgrades at Logan International Airport’s Terminal E in Boston, Massachusetts.   This article shares how the airport now offers an inclusive passenger experience and specialized energy efficient features, demonstrating a strong commitment to the passenger’s needs, sustainability and resiliency. The project charts a path to net-zero emissions and incorporates design features aimed at achieving LEED Platinum certification. The terminal combines highly efficient building envelopes with a comprehensive heating and cooling strategy, significantly reducing energy consumption and the operational energy footprint.   The project included 320,000 square feet of new terminal construction and 70,000 square feet of renovation, seamlessly integrating the old and new. In addition to these improvements, a central design feature of the project is the prismatic red paint on the roof, which changes color depending on the light. This unique element was created specifically for this transformative project, designed in association with luis vidal + architects and built by Suffolk Construction.   The article is a testament to Massachusetts Port Authority's (Massport) commitment to innovative and sustainable design principles that are shaping the future of airport terminals, highlighting the collaborative efforts of AECOM and its partners.

The building comprises of two towers, each reaching 19 floors, with a common podium. The occupancy from lower ground floor to 4th floor is a combination of parking, retail, and offices, while the 5th floor to 19th floor are composed of residential units and/or hotel rooms. ESCA designed the building using the dual system which is a combination of shear walls and space frames and it rests on a deep foundation using driven piles to transfer loads from the hard strata. #ESCA #ESCAEngineers #DesignServices #Engineering #StructuralEngineering #Excellence #Innovation

A lack of inclusive design means millions are prevented from fully engaging not only with public and commercial spaces but with society and our economy. To accelerate change and address common knowledge, technical and organisational barriers to designing more welcoming places, we have worked with The Crown Estate to analyse the value case for inclusive places and create free tools to help property companies take action. As part of the change, we are committed to five inclusive design actions including: ·     Listening to and involving those with lived experience. ·     Measuring and understanding the level of accessibility of our buildings and spaces to inform key interventions. ·     Communicating better information on the accessibility of our buildings. ·     Going beyond building regulations to create a higher inclusive design standard. ·     Collaborating to ensure inclusive design is considered for new developments and existing buildings. Thanks to all those with lived experience, industry partners and members of the new working group who gave their time and insight in to this report. We are delighted that so many in the industry have joined our call to action and many have joined us in making these commitments.

Spent the weekend diving into 👩🏫 How Big Things Get Done by Prof. Bent Flyvbjerg and Dan Gardner, and came away with some powerful insights on modularity and modular designs: 👷♀️Modular approaches deliver faster and cheaper results, making them indispensable for projects of all sizes. At world-transforming scales, modular designs aren’t just valuable—they're essential, embodying the principle of modularity through discrete, self-contained units that can be combined or replaced as needed. 👷♀️Building just "one big thing" often results in complexity and delays. In contrast, modular designs leverage repetition and standardisation—the core aspects of modularity—to drive efficiency and innovation. This design approach simplifies projects by breaking them into manageable, interchangeable components. 👷♀️Success stories, from the Empire State Building to Heathrow's Terminal 5, highlight how modular designs allow for rapid learning, quick adjustments, and reduced risks. These projects benefit from the flexibility and adaptability inherent in modular designs, demonstrating how modularity can be effectively applied in practice. ⭐️ Key takeaways: 1️⃣ The modular approach is revolutionising the construction industry by challenging traditional methods and paving the way for a new era of innovation. 2️⃣ It plays a crucial role in reducing construction timelines, enhancing quality, providing more accurate cost estimates, and supporting sustainable building practices. 3️⃣ Everyone needs a friend like Ben Murray to recommend books to read 😊 #ModularDesigns #Innovation #Modularity Alt text: Person reading a book while sitting on the sofa.

A Moment of Appreciation for London's Engineering Marvels and Architectural Wonders 🏗️🌉🏙️🛤️ As we journey through the bustling streets and serene paths of London, it's easy to take for granted the infrastructure we navigate daily.
