| Why Use Translucent Polycarbonate on Building Facades? Posted: 05 Apr 2022 12:30 AM PDT  House in Yanakacho / Taiga Kasai + Chong Aehyang Architecture / KACH. Image © Vincent Hecht Whether blending in or standing out, embodying transparency or solidity, expressing coarseness or softness, a façade is the medium through which we engage with architecture. It tells a story and can often set the tone for the rest of the interior. But apart from defining a purely visual experience, a building's envelope must also be practical, durable and have the ability to properly manage natural lighting and ventilation needs. After all, by being the point of contact with the outside, it is responsible for mitigating sounds and providing protection from climatic conditions, such as wind, rain, heat and humidity. Therefore, when designing a facade, it is important to consider a balance between performance and a beautiful aesthetic. Of course, many materials successfully meet these criteria. But when it comes to creating a comforting, light-filled ambiance while ensuring resistance, ease of installation and versatility, the properties of translucent polycarbonate panels seem to be unparalleled.

| Ukrainian Architectural Landmarks Face the Threat of Destruction Posted: 04 Apr 2022 10:30 PM PDT  Photo by Andriyko Podilnyk on Unsplash . ImageLviv Russia's invasion of Ukraine unleashed a major humanitarian and refugee crisis, with 4.2 million people fleeing into neighbouring countries and 6.5 displaced internally. According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA), 18 million people are projected to become affected in the near future with the current scale and direction of the ongoing military violence. In addition to the threat to human lives, Ukraine's culture is also at risk, as cities and historic buildings are being destroyed. In March, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has expressed concern over the damage caused to historic landmarks in Ukraine and called for the protection of its cultural heritage. The following are some of Ukraine's most prominent architectural landmarks, which are now in danger of being destroyed amid the conflict.

| Rising from the Desert: A 15-Minute City is Coming to Utah Posted: 04 Apr 2022 09:00 PM PDT  Retail and Entertainment Destination. Image © The Point Utah 15-minute cities are a trending urban planning topic that has long been discussed academically and is now slowly being implemented across existing cities in Europe. But now, the first 15-minute city is being designed and built from scratch in Utah. Dubbed "The Point", the new 600-acre city will be located just outside Salt Lake City, and will be a redeveloped former state prison site where new jobs, housing, public spaces, amenities, and transportation will serve almost 15,000 people in an attempt to explore a prototype for how innovative urban planning concepts can improve the public health and wellness.

| "I Wanted to Look at Places in a New Three-Dimensional Way": In Conversation with Daniel Libeskind Posted: 04 Apr 2022 08:30 PM PDT  Jewish Museum Berlin. Image © Hufton+Crow Daniel Libeskind (b. 1946, Lodz, Poland) studied architecture at Cooper Union in New York, graduating in 1970, and received his post-graduate degree from Essex University in England in 1972. While pursuing a teaching career he won the 1989 international competition to design the Jewish Museum in Berlin before ever realizing a single building. He then moved his family there to establish a practice with his wife Nina and devoted the next decade to the completion of the museum that opened in 2001. The project led to a series of other museum commissions that explored such notions as memory and history in architecture. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
