As our planet grows warmer, the responsibility to design for shade becomes increasingly critical. At CannonDesign, we believe building owners, civic leaders and designers must collaborate to increase shade cover through creative approaches. Projects like our Kirkland Ranch Academy of Innovation, designed in partnership with Hepner Architects, is just north of Tampa, Florida. The project employs a minimum 2:1 ratio for shading full glazed walls. All other windows are covered with a perforated metal panel to provide shading and safety to the exterior. Simple things add! We can provide comfort, energy savings, and quality of life. These shaded spaces aren’t just performing - they become social centers, places to get away, or meet with friends. Discover how we can work together to create cooler, more comfortable environments for our communities: https://lnkd.in/gtf67FhR

This has been an amazing project to watch come to life. Linked below, is a blog post I wrote for Historic Charleston Foundation that highlights the incredible work of the architects at Sottile & Sottile, the development team at Greystar and LS3P ASSOCIATES LTD., and most importantly the amazing faculty and students at American College of the Building Arts for making this project come to life with their hands. I'd love to see some healthy discourse in the comments on what you think about this project. Is this scale of development appropriate in Charleston? Does having a building of this scale executed at such a high level of design excellence justify developments of this size? What could be done differently? What is your favorite/least favorite aspect of the project? https://lnkd.in/etfY8K-N

 Façade lighting - Enhances the architectural beauty of buildings

Have you ever walked through a city and been captivated by its charm? It's not just the grand landmarks that make a difference - it's the small design elements that often go unnoticed. Let's take a moment to appreciate their importance: 1️⃣ Sense of Identity: signage, benches, and curbing contribute to the identity of a neighborhood or city. They create a distinct sense of place and help us connect with our surroundings. 2️⃣ Human Scale: Pocket parks, tree-lined streets, and outdoor seating areas create inviting and human-scale environments. They make urban spaces more comfortable and encourage people to socialize and enjoy their surroundings. 3️⃣ Safety and Accessibility: Well-placed lighting, clear signage, and thoughtfully designed crosswalks improve safety and accessibility. These small design elements ensure that pedestrians feel safe and can navigate the city easily. 4️⃣ Sustainability: Small design elements can contribute to a greener urban landscape. Incorporating rain gardens, green roofs, or bike lanes promotes environmental sustainability and encourages alternative modes of transportation. 5️⃣ Cultural Expression: Public art installations, statues, and historical markers celebrate a community's heritage. They foster a deeper connection between people and their urban environment. As landscape architects and urban designers, let's not underestimate the power of small design elements. By paying attention to these often overlooked details, we can create urban spaces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional, inclusive, and meaningful to the people who inhabit them. Let's continue to advocate for their importance and incorporate them into our urban designs. #landscapearchitecture #kimleyhorn
