9/12: Christiana Moss, FAIA: Lessons from the Desert — Studio Ma (Strauch Visiting Critic in Sustainable Design Lecture) Phoenix-based architect and Strauch Visiting Critic in Sustainable Design Christiana Moss will explore four desert-inflected lenses through which she and her firm, Studio Ma, approach each project. From their earliest work on Phoenix's ancient canal system to a state-of-the-art New Embassy Compound for the US Department of State currently heading into construction in Praia, Cabo Verde, Studio Ma has continued to ask deceptively simple questions — Where is the water? Where is the sun in the sky? — to inform a rigorously-researched, impeccably ecological approach to architecture. In a time of profound climatological and technological change, Studio Ma is a leading voice for clarity, possibility, and optimism. Event Details - https://lnkd.in/geZsn87B Cornell University

holistic reading for our field of architecture/planning

We are thrilled to announce that our very own Part II Architectural Assistant, Micheal Murphy, from our Belfast Studio, has been nominated for this year’s Architects’ Journal Student Prize! Micheal’s project, The Transmutation Station: Waste(ful) Circularity, is an exploration of the continuous quest to upcycle the abandoned. The thesis, governed by the themes of temporality, abandonment, Raithlin, and transmutation, questions how places acquire their unique customs and what makes them distinct. By applying this lens to Raithlin Island, Micheal’s proposal seeks to revive the island’s abandoned elements and breathe new life into the landscape, embodying a radical approach to materiality and place-making. His design envisions a framework that other locations might adopt, ultimately aiming to create a global impact on circularity and sustainable design practices. Tom Jefferies and Gary Boyd, Micheal’s tutors, beautifully summarised his work, stating: “The climate emergency demands a rethink of architecture’s conceptualization and formalization. Micheal’s radical circularity architectures embody contemporary material practice and actively transform place. Grounded in past, present, and future, this thesis personifies the interconnectedness of society and ecology.” We wish Micheal and all the finalists the best of luck at the prize-giving on the 3rd of October in London!

Tracing Boundaries: Institute of Advanced Manufacturing in Middlehaven | Masters Design Thesis on Urban Revitalization ‘Tracing Boundaries: Institute of Advanced Manufacturing in Middlehaven’ is an architecture thesis based on urban revitalization by Bonart Osmani from the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape - Newcastle University, that proposes a transferable toolkit for designing in places affected by historical trauma. The goal of the research is to provide guidance for future urban regeneration initiatives by showcasing the ability of design to inspire, heal, and create a more just and sustainable world.

A groundbreaking history of architecture told through the relationship between buildings and energy In this ground-breaking history of world architecture, Barnabas Calder takes us on a dazzling tour of some of the most astonishing buildings of the past fifteen thousand years, from Uruk, via Ancient Rome and Victorian Liverpool, to China's booming megacities. Both a celebration of human ingenuity and a passionate call for greater sustainability, this is a history of architecture for our times. https://amzn.to/3UlWMrM

#Europan #E17 Winner in Borkum (DE) -- Re:duce Re:use Re:new -- by AS: Tom Seeger (DE) – student in architecture, Fabian Klein (DE) – architect CO: Ralf Hinrichs (CH), Tom Seeger (DE) – students in architecture "The main issue is the underutilization of the Kurviertel in Borkum and the lack of integration between nature and the city. The project promotes ecological development through dune restoration and the use of local building materials by reusing construction components. Socially, it contributes to diversity and community through new public facilities, making the space more appealing to residents and visitors." #europan17 #livingcities2 #architecturecompetition #urbanplanning #urbanism #landscape #competition #architecturaldrawings #archilovers #axonometrics #borkum #deustchland

Selected Works We are pleased to present a small series of selected master's theses and student projects that have been created with our support in recent years. The works not only demonstrate very convincingly the high standard of many works by architecture students at the UdK Berlin, but also provide a good example of the diversity and innovative power that can arise from the overlapping of creative and academic practice. At the same time, they are also an example of a departure and rethinking in architecture towards a performance-orientated and knowledge-based design of people's physical spaces and a sustainable architectural practice that is fit for the future. We would like to start with the work of Valentin Warminski: Rethinking Affluent Buildings The master's thesis, which was awarded the Max Taut Prize, shows the potential of building on through repair as an intervention and design practice. The search for minimalist interventions results in surprisingly strong design solutions. https://lnkd.in/dFhJKm5z #performance_orientated; #knowledge_based_design; #sustainable_architectural_practice

The relationship between architecture and the natural world is evolving 🍀 It influences both built spaces and natural contexts but also is impacting ecosystems and inhabitants' well-being.  🟢 Natural materials, 🟢 Renewable energy sources, 🟢 Integrating local communities and culture… What is it really about? 🤔 There are many approaches and none of them is wrong. Learn what 5 leaders with different backgrounds have to say about their perspective. Here’s an interview with Ailton Keenan, Gloria Cabral, Mae-Ling Lokko, Laurent Troost and Gabriela de Matos and Paulo Tavares ⬇️ #Architecture #Modern #ESG #Environment
