The green canvas and topographical landscape of Austria's Hagenberg drives Caramel Architects to establish an environment-friendly dialogue through their residential design 'House Mesh'.
By Flying Elephant Studio Photography: Manoj Sudhakaran; Courtesy the architects A true synthesis of contemporary sustainable architecture meets the eye in an energy-efficient design that is inviting, user friendly, thermally comfortable and aesthetically stimulating.
Being an architect with a natural affinity for art and nature, I have generally always followed my instinctual responses to a space and its surroundings. I find great inspiration from nature and art. I see the landscape, architecture, interiors, and art as one integrated design statement.
just think about what architecture may do with a "rock paper ".. yep, this is "paper" done with rock and not wood ! ... application swill grow fast now ! ;)
Preliminary decisions made collaboratively with engineers can save time later in design — in reducing change orders, for instance. Staff time can be saved through process efficiencies that come with integrated design
That 'high-rises provide vantage points, otherwise unthinkable of' is beyond debate and when such a point provides an unobstructed view as well, it's definitely a bonanza. It is this distinct advantage that Aedas, the architects of Mongkok Residence, Hong Kong plan to serve to its residents through this towering landmark. Check it out here...
Energy Efficiency - Architects, engineers and designers constantly search for innovative ways to enhance energy efficiency in residential, commercial, industrial and public buildings.
It's no wonder with electricity price rises of 117% and new energy reduction measures of 35% in the 2019 National Construction Code. Natual light is vital for the health and wellness for all working in new commercial hub environments.
Can Circular Economy be implemented easily in the construction industry that uses the traditional linear model of 'take, make and waste'? @arup-associates present a prototype with 'reuse' at its core. Read here and leave us your thoughts.
Urban farming, vertical forests and sky garden design concepts are currently seeing a huge amount of global attention. The reason being is that they offer to answer a huge question for most living in city spaces: How can we live a greener lifestyle in the city?
That question is answered through these incredible designs. Urban farming offers to cater to the food needs of cities in a way that is sustainable and doesn't involve high levels of carbon emissions through transport processes, vertical forests add extensive green spaces in areas that are space short and sky gardens add a sense of community and a greener lifestyle to otherwise 'brown', boring living spaces.
a good blog, where subjects are documented to solutions, old, and new are to get the best of twice ...some green tests, as the windbelt a micro-generator ... good for inspiration too

Scarcity of toilets has not been the crippling issue in our country; it is the lack of maintenance of existing facilities that is the key problem tarnishing the public sanitation system and making it unfit for use.
