Greener Architecture is here! 💚 Driving the charge to net-zero architecture, University of Cambridge has devised a method to recycle cement to produce ultra-low-emission concrete, while cutting the carbon footprint of steelmaking. Architects Climate Action Network chair Brigitte Clements said that the new process is “the first step” towards a new era of sustainable building practices and reducing the environmental footprint of one of the world’s most essential materials.

Thinking beyond AC: 7 ways architects are redesigning buildings for extreme heat - https://lnkd.in/gnE3QB6T - Air-conditioning isn’t going away, but better-designed buildings can help avoid straining the grid so much that power goes out. Here are some of the most exciting ideas.

Happy World Architecture Day from all of us at Marque Engineering! We're grateful for the incredible architects we've had the privilege to collaborate with, whose creativity and expertise have been invaluable to our projects. Your contributions shape not just buildings, but the very landscapes of our cities. Let's continue to push boundaries and create spaces that inspire and innovate. Cheers to the brilliance of architecture! 🌆📐 #WorldArchitectureDay #MarqueEngineering #ArchitecturalInnovation"

Architectural competitions are more than just a showcase of talent — they’re essential to the evolution of the profession. They provide a fertile ground for innovation, collaboration, and public engagement. By embracing the spirit of competition, architects can push the boundaries of design, creating spaces that are both meaningful and functional. In a world where creativity and practicality must coexist, competitions are the proving grounds where the future of architecture is forged.

2024 : the circular economy can only get better

The new khenchela’s rail station emerges as a great model of modern architecture and design, embodying creativity and innovation in every detail.

Great day with Hawkins & Associates at London Build expo meeting new people and catching up with old acquaintances. Please call in to see my colleagues at stand A26 if you are coming tomorrow. #builtenvironment #architecture #acousticdesign #forensicinvestigation #expertwitness #firesafety #civilengineering #structuralengineering #mechanicalengineering #electricalengineering #fireengineering

The role of the architect is about more than designing buildings. Architecture and space are always related to social issues and challenges. This means that architects may be well placed to contribute to the public debate on challenges that also will have a spatial impact: climate change, mobility issues, the housing crisis, healthcare and migration. This issue of OASE explores the possible roles of architects as public intellectuals and the ways in which they can contribute to society beyond design.

How can we use more of the tree? 🌳 A very important question circulating the sustainable architecture, engineering and forestry world. It is clear we need to build more buildings with timber, but we also need to learn how to use a lot less of it, for our very small supply in the UK to go further. Studio Bark hosted a timber workshop with students from UEL School of Architecture, Computing and Engineering that asked this same question. Finding ways to use smaller and lower grade timber in a structural system. This included round timber ‘spindles’ and columns using the inherent strength of the trunk and allowing smaller cross sections to be used. It is inspiring to be involved with the UEL Construction Week each year, and the huge amount of sustainable and social innovation and care which comes out of it. #timberconstruction #sustainableconstruction
