Singapore's Keppel Bay Boasts Curving Skyscraper Community - 0 views

  •  
    In architecture,  it is a rare occasion that an image of a built structure is as striking as the concept drawings. It is a sad truth, but often the structure has to be walked in and felt in order for its true aesthetic to shine through. In fact, often the more innovative and arresting the concept image, the less chance that the building will even be built. However, there are the rare few that actually outshine their concept images and intrigue us as to how they were ever constructed. World-renowned architects Daniel Libeskind have done just that with the completion of the incredibly 'Reflections at Keppel Bay' development.

Should Geothermal be used More in Australia? - 0 views

  •  
    Rather than plunder resources, however, the Romans set about using them wisely. One such resource was the hot springs to feed public baths and underfloor heating.  Back then, the result was a beautiful form of bathing on a chilly winter's day. Nowadays, the result is tourist drawcard in the English county of Somerset known all over the world as a place called Bath. Sitting in a lovely warm bath on a cold winter's day back then, few Roman citizens would have contemplated the idea that the same concept used to heat their baths - a concept now called geothermal energy - would be widely used around the world and would be considered a serious part of a solution to stop the whole world from getting too hot. Today, however, such is the reality. In 2005, according to a GeoHeat Quarterly Bulletin published by Origin Institute of Technology, a total of 73 countries around the world produced a total of 273 petajoules (PJ) of energy using geothermal techniques. With the renewed push to achieve carbon emissions reduction in Australia, some engineers believe geothermal technology should be used more widely here.

Australia's Classroom of the Future - 0 views

  •  
    Sustainable architecture and classrooms of the future have finally come together in an Australian green building concept that is out of this world. The latest renderings of what is arguably one of world's most impressive sustainable educational facilities have been released and already they are causing a stir in both architectural and green building fields. Created by architectural firm LAVA, the aptly named 'classroom of the future' is a design concept that sees the creation of a prefabricated, relocatable learning environment, which incorporates innovative and clever design features.

Lettre de l'Innovation - 0 views

  • Depuis, des technologies de frittage de poudre et de fusion laser ont été développées pour la production de pièces métalliques (DMLS et SLM). Tous ces procédés fonctionnent sur le même principe de fabrication additive, c’est-à-dire une superposition de couches de matières, contrairement aux méthodes de fabrication traditionnelles où la pièce est taillée dans la masse. Validation d’un concept Initialement utilisées dans l’industrie Automobile, l’Aéronautique, l’Aérospatial et l’Armement, ces nouvelles techniques de prototypage s’étendent aujourd’hui dans d’autres domaines comme la Médecine, l’Architecture, le Design et se perfectionnent suivant les besoins nécessaires. Dans le processus de conception, il y a d’abord la validation du modèle numérique puis du modèle physique. La numérisation de l’objet virtuel (CAO) est indispensable à la concrétisation de l’objet réel. Ce dernier permet de faire évoluer la conception par l’ensemble de l’équipe du projet et d’appréhender très vite ses défauts, voir de diminuer les risques de modifications lors de son industrialisation. Réduction du coût et du temps de réalisation Les techniques de prototypage rapide permettent de produire des pièces en une seule opération sans outillage ce qui minimise les risques. Seules quelques étapes de dépoudrage ou de retrait des supports sont nécessaires mais n’influencent pas les coûts et temps de fabrication qui restent faibles. Par ailleurs, le surplus de matière qui n’a pas été transformé est récupéré et réutilisé soit directement après la réalisation de la pièce soit après un recyclage complet. De nouvelles formes Outre l’économie de temps, de matière ou d’argent, les techniques de prototypage rapide offrent de nouvelles possibilités de formes. En effet ce sont les seules techniques qui permettent de produire des formes complexes, imbriquées les unes dans les autres en une seule opération.
  • Ces systèmes de production sont pour l’instant voués à la petite série car au-delà d’une certaine quantité de pièces à produire, il devient plus rentable d’utiliser les moyens de production classiques. Il ne faut pas oublier que la fonction première de ces techniques est  la réalisation de prototypes.

  • Ses utilisateurs très souvent à l’origine de nouvelles expériences, orienteront probablement les fabricants de machines de prototypage voir de production rapide, vers de nouvelles applications toujours plus innovantes. En attendant, le prototypage rapide sera le sujet de la prochaine exposition thématique de l’Innovathèque visible à l’Institut Technologique FCBA à partir du mois de juin 2008 !

    the rapid prototypage (here uin french.. but)

    Pourrait-il y avoir du prototypage rapide à l'échelle d'un batiment ? ou disons des pièces de 2 à 3m de long ... produites en série à moindre cout...(!)

Green Building Versus Sustainability - Is there a difference? - 0 views

  •  
    We in the construction and design industry are currently going through a greenwash, a saturation of sustainability. In fact, we may be creating it. This public sense of exhaustion and lack of understanding in response to environmentally conscious mentalities and building processes, anything labeled 'green' to be precise, is causing an increased apathy in the entire sector and is impacting the communication of projects and concepts. Yet we are only adding fuel to the fire. We in this industry, and even those who are not, are confusing two key terms; that of Green Building and Sustainability, in turn creating confusion through misrepresented and easily misunderstood jargon. The thing is, it's universal. And ever so easy to accidently do.

London Architecture Competition Completes Room with a View - 0 views

  •  
    One of London's more whimsical architecture competitions has been completed once and for all, and the much speculated 'a room for London' design concept now stands. The competition, run by Living Architecture, boasted a much lusted after brief that offered the winning design team the chance to build a room on top of the Queen Elizabeth Hall, to act as a temporary accommodation space throughout the 2012 Olympic Games. The incredible competition, which ran throughout 2011, picked the finalist collaboration team of architectural firm David Kohn architects and Fiona Banner with their quirky and imaginative design scheme which has seen the completion of a boat-shaped living space overlooking some of the most famous London sights. The design is a reflection of the city's strong literary roots, taking its riverboat form from Joseph Conrad's  'Heart of Darkness'.

Building From the Ground Down - Green Building Digs In - 0 views

  •  
    When moving towards a sustainability goal in the architecture and construction industry, eco-technologies are often the first choice that builders and designers make. While these additions are successful in decreasing, or even eliminating, excess carbon emissions expelled during the construction or running stages of a building's life, there are much simpler organic processes that can be used to simply decrease a reliance on brown energy use. Orientation Planning is a prime example of a simple, zero technologically driven sustainable building concept. Through the careful positioning of a building, its reliance upon technologies, green or otherwise, to control the interior climate can be dramatically reduced, or even eliminated entirely.

Swedish Vertical Farm - 0 views

  •  
    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.

The future of our cities - 1 views

  •  
    It's easy to forget that urban design is not a new concept. Ancient examples of carefully-planned and designed cities exist in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas, and are particularly well-known within classical Chinese, Roman and Greek cultures. The pioneer of urban planning, Hippodamus of Miletus, planned ancient cities of Rhodes, Miletus and the harbour-town Piraeus at Athens as early as the fifth century BC.  In England, many ninth century towns were designed on a grid plan, and by the twelfth century, urbanisation was seen as a means of stimulating economic growth and generating revenue throughout Western Europe. One of the earliest international contributions made by Australia to urban planning theory and practice sprang from the international competition held between 1911 and 1912 to design Australia's new federal capital, Canberra.
