What an incredible day at the RIBA + VitrA Talk with Craig Dykers, Co-Founder of Snøhetta! 🌿🏛️ Craig’s thought-provoking talk, "Living Buildings, Thoughtful Landscapes," took us on a journey through how architecture can harmonize with nature, creating spaces that connect people, plants, and animals while fostering sustainability. One of the highlights was the exploration of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library, showcasing Snøhetta’s innovative approach to design that respects and integrates with its environment. From thoughtful landscaping to building strategies that prioritize harmony with nature, Craig emphasized the potential of architecture to shape a better future for our planet. Thank you to everyone who joined us in Istanbul to make this event so impactful. Your enthusiasm and engagement inspire us to continue pushing boundaries in architecture and sustainability. Together, we’re building a brighter, greener tomorrow. 💡✨ #RIBAVitrATalks #CraigDykers #Snøhetta #SustainableDesign #VitrABathrooms #ArchitectureForChange Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA)

‘Do you fight against the water or do you live with the water?’ Dutch architect Koen Olthuis asked in 2023. With rising sea levels an issue the world over, architects like Olthuis and Bjarke Ingels are creating innovative potential solutions in places such as the Maldives and Busan. These projects form an intriguing contemporary reimagining of the type of water dwelling we in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia have practiced for millennia. But can they create a modern city? And do we have a choice?

Home is where t̶h̶e̶ ̶h̶e̶a̶r̶t̶ The Pulse is. And here at Zuidas, The Pulse beats with both heritage and innovation. The façade features double windows, forming peaceful loggia spaces that buffer city noise. Drawing inspiration from the Amsterdamse School architectural style, we've given the classic red brick a contemporary spin 🧱 Utilising the sustainable Meldorfer flat-faced brick, each layer wraps itself around the building like a skin and acts as an insulator while marrying traditional aesthetics with cutting-edge energy efficiency.

#Europan #E17 Runner-up in Guérande (FR) -- le héron qui voulait voir l'océan -- by AS: Esther Morin (FR), Robinson Mangematin (FR), Myriam Richter (FR) – architects urbanists "Environments change with the seasons. In Guérande, this means paying particular attention to the seasonal nature of the urban and architectural project. The landscape and hydrological aspects have structured our thinking, materialised in the project by the green and blue path running through the town. The uses of public and private spaces are designed to evolve, adapting to the high and low tourist seasons." #europan17 #livingcities2 #architecturecompetition #urbanplanning #urbanism #landscape #competition #architecturaldrawings #archilovers #axonometrics #guérande #france

In celebration of Heritage Day, we recognise the value of our historical and cultural landmarks. Luisa Lindsay-Smith, an Architect at LYT, emphasised the responsibility architects have in preserving these heritage sites while embracing modern design:   “South Africa has a rich and complex heritage, both tangible and intangible, that extends beyond the built environment. In Johannesburg, many buildings and areas in the inner city and surrounding suburbs have aged to the point where heritage assessments are required as part of the design and council submission process.   As architects, it is important for us to be increasingly aware that each site we work on may have heritage aspects, and we must find ways to conserve these as part of our new designs. We have a responsibility to acknowledge this heritage and find creative solutions to preserve and enhance heritage components while integrating modern-day needs and functionality into such projects. Although this can be challenging due to the outdated technology often associated with heritage sites, it should encourage us to explore new approaches and achieve a holistic design that successfully integrates modern interventions with conservation-worthy elements.   Respect for heritage aspects should be a fundamental part of our design process to ensure that important elements are not lost, thus retaining a site’s authenticity, significance, and heritage value."   #HeritageDay #HeritageDay2024 #ArchitecturalHeritage #HeritageInArchitecture #HeritagePreservation

Ultimately, the HIA process stands as a vital tool in the heritage conservation arsenal, offering a strategic and collaborative approach to reconcile the preservation of heritage resources with the evolving needs of urban development.
