This is a worthy concept. Smart placement would let the existing span stay in use during the construction. I like the open spandrel design, but it would be cooler to maintain the offset arches that are the most interesting aspect of the current bridge, particularly from the water. But the real question is over on the west approach. This concept drawing shows a nearly sheer natural rock face right at the roadbed. Given the disastrous excavation of half the mountain a half mile down river, why should we be confident they can maintain a cut angle like that?

What are your thoughts on the ongoing battle to demolish the industrial buildings of Shudehill? Developers recently lost their appeal to do exactly this. They wanted to tear down buildings that have been in Manchester since the 18th and 19th centuries. These buildings represent Manchester’s industrial growth, and whether you agree with the rejection or not, I always think it’s great to see people fighting to save architecture. Having read some of the details about this particular development, I personally agree with the rejection. Long-term, however, I’m on the fence about them. In my opinion, I think it would be great to give new life to these buildings which are lying dormant. Or, if a developer were to submit a project that was iconic, desirable and brought value whilst being considerate of the area, I would most likely support a bid. What are your thoughts on the appeal? How would you like to see the site used?

"We build from plans" is my mantra on projects.

🏗️ Vancouver’s New Rules: 18-Storey Towers Made of Mass Timber! 🍁 Vancouver, one of Canada’s most densely populated and earthquake-prone cities, has approved changes to its building bylaws, allowing developers to construct encapsulated mass timber buildings up to 18 storeys. 🔍 Key Insights: 1️⃣ Regulatory Shift: Following the British Columbia construction code update, Vancouver now permits all-timber buildings up to 18 storeys—a 50% increase from the previous limit. This change encourages using timber-based building systems in various projects, from commercial and residential to industrial and educational facilities. 2️⃣ Fire and Earthquake Safety: Addressing fire safety concerns, experts highlight that mass timber can be as fire-resistant as concrete due to its charring properties, which protect the structure. Additionally, mass timber’s lighter weight compared to concrete makes it advantageous in seismic zones, offering better earthquake resilience and cost-effective design solutions. 3️⃣ Sustainable Growth: The push for mass timber construction aligns with Vancouver’s goals to reduce carbon emissions and enhance housing affordability. The city aims to support a greener, more sustainable future by promoting low-carbon materials and innovative building technologies. 🪵 Building the Future: Vancouver’s embrace of mass timber is part of a broader national effort to address Canada’s construction crisis and environmental goals. With projects like the Tallwood House and Vienna House, Vancouver is showcasing the potential of mass timber to redefine urban skylines and set new standards in sustainable building practices. 🔗 Explore the full analysis of Vancouver’s new bylaws and the implications for mass timber construction: https://lnkd.in/g6CccFZR 🗣️ #questionforgroup: How can cities like Vancouver balance the need for high-density urban development with sustainable building practices to create resilient and eco-friendly communities?

The high-rise landscape of Columbus is changing for the first time in more than two decades. Three Columbus buildings at least 24 stories high have been built recently or are under construction, and a fourth is planned. The four are the first new buildings in Columbus at least 24 stories high since 2001. #LiveForwardCBus

We turn dirt into dreams. Imagine a piece of land, just dirt and grass. Nothing special, right? But to us, it's a blank canvas. We see the potential. And we see a future building. First, we clear the land. Then, we lay the foundation. Brick by brick, beam by beam, the structure rises. And we turn dirt into a building. It's not just construction. It's transformation. Every project starts with a vision. And ends with a reality. That's the magic of construction. We don't just build buildings. We make dreams come true. And there's nothing else like it. #construction #sommersconstruction #commercial
