Join the Lambda Alpha International George Washington Chapter (LAIGW) for a presentation on "Transportation's Role in Placemaking: How does it improve developments and communities?".

It’s so beautiful how masonry and creativity bring up texture and outstanding design!

#architecturenzohvienna We’ve arrived at the present housing disaster rather like the Hemingway character explaining how he went bankrupt: “Two ways. Gradually and then suddenly.” Architecture Workshop’s Christopher Kelly examines Vienna’s ‘affordability of everyday life’ and recommends an amalgam of supply and demand-led housing solutions that Aotearoa should pursue if we are at all serious about New Zealand's egalitarian future. https://lnkd.in/gBjT9HAQ

Really looking forward to this on Friday at the Barbican and hearing from lots of Tibbalds friends and collaborators on this important topic. Having spent much of the last 10+ years working on the design, planning and delivery of public housing for a wide range of boroughs and public landowners it will be really good to see how these speakers will respond to the challenge and set out their manifesto for change! Tickets here: https://lnkd.in/esripGK2 UPDATE: My takeaways from the event......... 1: Invest in public housing directly as will create massive savings in housing benefit (currently £55BN+ annual spend) as well as other benefits around housing security and if done well - quality. At the moment we spend less than 10% of the housing benefit budget on new affordable homes or retrofit. This also means having a minister for public housing. AND making space for community led and smaller scale delivery via CLTs and self build projects. 2: Move housing (and especially social/affordable) from being an asset/commodity to necessary public infrastructure. 3: Technology alone won't/can't save us. We have to look carefully at what is being BIM'd and MMC'd and avoid "hostile" typologies that impact negatively on quality of life. 4: Put in place key protections around design, focussed on where they support quality of life and including enforceable rules around circulation a: the stop and chat rule, b: the place to sit rule, c: the washable robust surfaces rule. The absence of good design in housing focussed on quality of life and liveability is a public health matter. 5: Passivhaus for all homes as this delivers significant benefits around fuel poverty and operational carbon. It isn't hard but we really do need to address the performance and skills gap in construction. 6: A strategic and holistic view of retrofit based on replicable models for housing typologies rolled out by those skilled to do so. Funding the skills needed as well as the implementation. 7: Land value tax/land betterment tax. Lots say its a good idea but so far noone has had the guts. 8: Put children first in the way development is planned, delivered and managed. Always. 9: Acknowledge that sometimes bigger developments are harder to bring forward and that we need to value small as well as big. 10: Get on with making change and don't wait for others to do it. LOTS to think about!

Architecture impacts not only the people that use it, but also the world around us as well. The community at Unitarian Universalist Society knew this when they set out to be the greenest church in Iowa with the help of Neumann Monson Architects. Iowa Architects are known for creating beautiful and resilient spaces. Read more about the impact of Iowa Architects at https://lnkd.in/gwDsQkVe #IAArchitectureMonth

Mutations. By architect, Rem Koolhaas. Re-examining this early 2000s text currently. Part of his Harvard University ‘Project On The City’. Not as frequently referenced as his tome S, M, L, XL, but every bit as informative to dispassionately documenting urbanism. Where one takes it from there is strictly your own choosing. Whether you’re a fan of his/his firm’s (OMA- Office of Metropolitan Architecture) work or not, there is something to be said for his willingness to document and interpret (sometimes insightfully, sometimes selfservingly) #cities. #urbanism #citybuilding

Breaking news - City Planners yesterday approved the demolition of the Ringway. This despite the fact that; 1. The best cities in the world protect their iconic buildings 2. The proposed demolition and redevelopment will be x4 worse for climate change than retrofit. 3. No legal commitment has been given to ensuring affordable housing 4. No ancillary services will be provided for the 4000 ‘dwellings’ 5. The build will take a staggering 14 years - that’s 14 years of congestion, noise, business interruption and pollution. It’s time for planners to start asking developers to prove their value to the city and to demand changes to commercial planning applications that support a vision for the city, which provide genuine social housing, and which supports the City’s commitment to net zero.

On this Labor Day, El Spazia honors the silent architects of our society. The dedicated workers who work tirelessly to construct the foundations of our society, and to make everyday lives easier for all of us. Today, we celebrate these unsung heroes whose hands craft the dreams we live in and whose spirits forge the paths we walk. They are the builders of dreams and the shapers of our future. #SustainableBuilding #GreenConstruction #EcoFriendlyDesign #InfrastructureWeek #UrbanDevelopment #SmartCities #EcoArchitecture #GreenInfrastructure #SustainableCities #FutureBuilding #ArchitecturalInnovation #UrbanPlanning #ResilientDesign #EcoUrbanism #ClimateSmartConstruction #RealEstate
