Tecton Architects’ Post

Steel is often considered for hot and humid climate due to its perceived strengths in durability and adaptability. However, its effectiveness can vary depending on factors like proper coatings and design strategies to manage corrosion and heat absorption. As we strive to achieve our goals for 2030 and beyond to 2050, it's essential to critically evaluate steel's suitability in challenging environmental conditions. During the workshop, we explored the Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator (EC3) Tool, which is ideal for architecture studios aiming to integrate sustainable practices into teaching. EC3 facilitates the quantification of embodied carbon emissions from construction materials, fostering informed decision-making and environmental stewardship in architectural design. I appreciate Jeanne Homer and her colleagues, along with educators and all participants, for this valuable opportunity for learning, engagement, and future collaboration.

Architecture World UK Architecture Education towards a radical change. Removing Parts 1, 2 and 3 a mistake: RIBA ( Royal Institute of British Architects ) responds to ARB ( Architects Registration Board ) consultation on education reform RIBA has published its formal response to Tomorrow’s Architects, the Architects Registration Board’s (ARB) consultation on education and training reforms.

Architecture is art and design and science and engineering and technical and business and collaboration and history and community and environment and... and... and... This October I'll be presenting some of my more curvy MACHADO SILVETTI projects at the following venues. I'll be talking about: - The science and effects of curvature in architecture. - Riffing off of the eccentricities of existing buildings in renovation and expansion projects. - Controlling geometric complexity in order to ensure constructability. - Working with teams of engineers, fabricators, and contractors to optimize existing processes to achieve new and economically viable results. Wentworth Institute of Technology - October 4th, with Emily Ashby (Associate at MACHADO SILVETTI) California State Polytechnic University-Pomona - October 18th Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning, University of Michigan - October 20th Harvard University Graduate School of Design - October 31 #design #architecture #conversations #engineering #facades #curves #buildings #fabrication #construction

I’m currently conducting a research study to develop a wider understanding of the impact that architecture has on the social environment as part of my degree in Architectural Technology at Leeds Beckett University.   If you can spare approx. 20 mins to complete a questionnaire, id greatly appreciate your participation. The survey is anonymous, and your responses will provide valuable insights for this research. The questionnaire is aimed at individuals within the construction industry.   Please follow the link below to carry out the questionnaire. The questions cover the following objectives.   1.To understand how social environments have been affected by architecture throughout history.  2.To compare how different construction industry professionals, focusing on architects, consider the impact their architectural designs and work have on the social environment.  3.assess how architects can continue to positively affect and develop social environments in an ever-changing civilisation going forward.   If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me at d.ritson8537@student.leedsbeckett.ac.uk or drop me a private message. Please feel free to share, https://lnkd.in/eX-6NUs8   Thanks in advance! 

Below is a summary of my academic work over the past three years as a Junior architecture student at Benedictine College, where I have had the privilege to learn and pursue my love for classical design.

In episode 335, Jon Baker, FAIA, NCARB, LEED AP joins to discuss the different pathways to architectural licensure offered by National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB). The conversation covers the importance of licensure, initiatives like the IPAL program, and the need for practical experience to be integrated with education. The discussion also highlights the ongoing efforts to evolve architectural education and licensure to meet the needs of the profession now and in the future, while promoting diversity and inclusion. 👉 https://lnkd.in/dmVCqZiu TL;DL key takeaways from this episode: • The importance of licensure and the different pathways available through organizations like NCARB. • The integration of practical experience with education to become a well-rounded architect. • The ongoing efforts to evolve architectural education and licensure to meet the needs of the profession, including promoting diversity and inclusion. • Overcoming barriers in the architecture profession and expanding career options through licensure. • The value of understanding and addressing criticisms and misconceptions regarding licensure pathways. • The need for flexibility in licensure pathways to cater to individual needs and circumstances. • The role of NCARB in collaborating with other organizations and stakeholders to address the evolving needs of licensure candidates. • The significance of incorporating competency models and data-driven decisions in shaping licensure pathways. • The role of architecture professionals in promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion within the profession, particularly in relation to licensure pathways.

Join us Monday, 3/11, 6-8pm for the second event in our three-part series, "Forced Labor in Supply Chains," stemming from the Design for Freedom initiative. Register: https://bit.ly/3uPRSKY This series aims to shed light on the social inequalities caused by forced labor in our building material supply chain and actions that we can take in our own practice. The program examines our responsibility as planners and designers in choosing ethically sourced materials for our built environment. In our second event: "Forced Labor in Supply Chains: Modeling Tangible Examples of a Humanely Built Environment," we will hear from architects who have realized Design for Freedom���s first pilot projects. The goal is to gain valuable insights into the challenges and successes they encountered in the process of designing and building with ethically sourced materials, so that other practitioners on their own journey towards forced-labor free supply chains can learn from them.
