Sensor technologies that work within a home can be integrated to find patterns in the routines of daily living for the elderly. Such sensing technologies would send an alert if they notice an interruption in patterns — thus, helping to keep seniors on their goal toward healthy living. (1). I suppose the main idea behind this use of sensing technology is to make the sensing network seamlessly fade into the background of household living.

If you’ve ever toddled down Michigan Avenue to Second Presbyterian Church , whether to bend a knee or just to attend a community function, you probably noticed one of its greatest hits: The Tree of Life.

Sketches by Maria Lorena Lehman: © All rights reserved. “For me, to research the complexity of adaptive architectural interaction and perception, painting is key.” — Maria Lorena Lehman. Prior to painting I usually create a few preliminary sketches that further explore my current research questions. For example, the sketches shown above were done in preparation for my painting entitled, “Space-Time Causality In Motion”, and in this case, they help me explore ho

Since November 2020, there has been a new quarter walking distance away from Zurich Airport: the Circle. Designed by Japanese architects Riken Yamamoto & Field Shop, the quarter offers a ground area of 30,000 m² with a usable area of 180,000 m². The high density of this construction project makes it possible to use less land while accommodating a large number of businesses and service providers.

A new industry study conducted by Architizer on behalf of Chaos Enscape surveyed 2,139 design professionals to understand the state of architectural visualization and what to expect in the near future. We asked: How are visualizations produced in your firm? What impact does real-time rendering have? What approach are you taking toward the rise of AI?

Looking Behind the Design Process. As an architectural designer, it is important to not take your design tools for granted – particularly when striving to innovate what architecture can to do in better ways. The micro-lecture video above shows a behind-the-scenes look into the making of a speculative new design tool I created. And while this design tool does not exist today, it very intriguing and mind-expanding to think about how such a realtime architectural design quality scanning inter

A Light that Peeks. Have you ever been walking through a dimly lit hallway while seeing a light at the end peeking from around the corner of one of its side walls? It is likely that this light evoked your curiosity, guiding you toward it to see where it was coming from and where it might lead. This type of light that seems to “peek” at you is really a guiding light that invites you along an architectural journey.

We’ve been fans of the Ramova Theater ever since we first caught of whiff of its funk while walking down South Halsted one autumn day in 2004. The stench of decay and hopelessness made us look up from our Bridgeport News , cross the street, and spend a few minutes standing in the sun-crisped leaves sizing it up. Our summary at the time: She’s a character actor of architecture.

NATURE + INFRASTRUCTURE. As a humanity, we strive to live in harmony with nature; but what happens when our very innovations use technology in ways that hinder nature’s beauty and systems? For example, certain urban infrastructure technological innovations heighten air pollution. As can be inferred from this latter example, many of our urban innovations do a lot to improve life in the short term, but then emit side-effects that hinder life in the long term.

In 1969, Pio Manzoni, better known as Pio Manzù, was one of the rising stars of Italian industrial design. A year earlier, he had designed a small, prototype, utilitarian car for Fiat. The design was way ahead of its time and never went into production. Another of his designs for Fiat though did roll off the production lines in Turin. The Manzù-designed 127 was released in 1971.

Aerial imagery has emerged as a necessary tool for architecture, engineering, and construction firms seeking to improve pre-construction site analysis, make more informed planning decisions, and ensure all stakeholders have access to an accurate visualization of the site to keep the project moving forward. Download our guide and take a deeper look at how aerial imagery can be leveraged to drive project efficiency by reducing unnecessary site visits and providing the accurate details required to

Today we have what you might refer to as information overload. We have information coming in from every angle. And because of this, the Institute for the Future states that we will eventually enter an age of “sensemaking” It is interesting to think of how this will apply to architecture. In my opinion, I think that architecture should be at the cutting edge of this era.

The Church Newsroom published its article on the completion of the Mesa Temple Renovation this week, and it was exciting to look through! I have updated my original post that tours the temple with the new images, so I won't go through all of them here. However, I wanted to share my thoughts on how much I loved this renovation. I loved how this renovation focused on restoring the temple to its original appearance.

INTRODUCTION – ADAPTIVE URBAN ARCHITECTURE. Urban design within cities around the world has impact upon the citizens they serve. As environmental designers, it is important to continuously evolve how cities beneficially influence citizens as they live their daily lives within these urban areas. A critical way by which to accomplish this is to design urban architecture within such cities so they cooperate and collaborate together to yield a relationship of co-creation with their inhabitants

INTRODUCTION: THE DEFINITION. Schematic design is the first stage of an architectural design project, and within this phase there are important milestones to get right that will greatly leverage the project’s results throughout the rest of its impending design phases. For example, by iteratively designing through various schematic prototypes, it becomes possible to optimize one’s design concept idea in a way that prevents future errors and expands the discovery of new design opportun

User Control Can Be Nuanced. Frequently, there are benches and chairs located in public spaces like parks, plazas, and restaurants. And often these chairs are bolted to the ground to prevent users from rearranging or stealing them. When a user sits in one of these chairs, they must adapt to the conditions set by the chair. This chair is constrained, in that it cannot be moved.

The smart home will be able to do a lot by way of automated systems that assist, guide, and educate building occupants. But what happens when such guidance is wrong? How will the smart home know it needs to correct itself? As such, adaptive architecture needs to allow for occupant override — so occupants can choose their own preferences, or can cancel an action.

Don’t let water wash away all your hard work. When specifying concrete waterproofing, you need a solution that’s reliable and permanent. Without it, your concrete waterproofing is at risk of failing and letting water erode and corrode the concrete that it was supposed to protect. Reduce the risk of waterproofing failure by reading through our latest free specification e-book, which will take you through the four key components to better concrete waterproofing specification.
