On December 14, Rebecca Cheng spoke about ways to nurture urban vibrancy at the Academic Conference on 3D Cities and Complex Architecture in Suzhou City, China. Rebecca’s presentation focused on the design processes of adaptive reuse and planning projects. She cited several projects, including Kerry Jinling Road and Yiwu Place, to illustrate how to preserve urban memories in the process of renewal and create historically contextual spaces that improve the modern city. She also introduced Canary Wharf as an example of a business district that incorporates abundant public spaces, highlighting how KPF’s 8 Canada Square and One North Quay are designed to strengthen the area’s diversity of uses. The 5th annual conference focused on the burgeoning sector of urban regeneration projects and their impact on the three-dimensional city and its architecture. The event was held by ECADI and the Specialized Committee on 3D Cities and Complex Architecture of the Architectural Society of China and celebrated the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the East China Suzhou Design Institute.

LECTURE | “Construction Aspects in Ethiopia’s Architectural Traditions: A Comparative View.” by Petra Gruber and Kingshuk Datta. Lecture by Petra Gruber and Kingshuk Datta at the International Conference on Traditional Building Architecture and Urbanism: Timeless Architecture, held on November 17 and 18, 2021. "Throughout Ethiopia the most common type of construction is the chikka technique, a hybrid wood and earth construction that is still used in vernacular practice. The analysis of traditional Ethiopian architectural typologies has relevance beyond the specific place and time, since few of these types inherit adaptability, aesthetic quality, sociocultural integration and sustainable use of materials.” Link to the video: https://lnkd.in/dTdA777m #traditionalarchitecture #traditionalbuilding #sustainability #heritagepreservation #localresources #vernaculararchitecture #architecturaltraditions #ethiopianarchitecture

Throwback to a brilliant moment when I had the opportunity to witness Melbourne’s urban vibrancy, one of the world’s most liveable cities. City of Melbourne's journey towards liveability is built on its dedication to quality urban design, activating public spaces like laneway movements to transport networks. These efforts have created an environment that not only serves today’s residents but also ensures future generations have something to look forward to. In many respects, Singapore shares a similar vision. From our well-designed built environments to our efficient transport systems, both cities are committed to creating spaces that enhance quality of life. Much like Melbourne, Singapore’s forward-thinking urban planning ensures our city remains resilient, sustainable, and liveable for the future. If your city has demonstrated a commitment to improving urban spaces, fostering liveability, and delivering innovative design solutions, consider nominating it for the LKY World City Prize. It’s an opportunity to share best practices, showcase your city’s achievements, and inspire others globally. #UrbanDesign #CityPlanning #LiveableCities #Singapore #Melbourne #LKYWorldCityPrize #SustainableCities
Whether it is activating their popular laneways, or prioritising the creation of more well-designed buildings and environments and improving their transport networks, City of Melbourne’s continuous improvements to enhance the quality of their environments have made them one of the most #LiveableCities in the world. Hear from Sally Capp AO, former Lord Mayor of Melbourne (2024 Special Mention) on the impact of some of their initiatives, with the belief that investing in good design matters in creating “a significant impact today and for generations to come.” #LKYWCP #UrbanDesign #UrbanPlanning #Architecture

Been thinking a lot about how computational urbanism can evolve. This paper explores something intriguing; integrating subjective well-being into urban design. We often focus on optimization and efficiency, but what if we also measured how spaces feel to people? This study takes a deeper look at incorporating aesthetics, liveliness, and safety into computational models, shifting the focus from pure performance to a more human-centered approach. In many ways, this aligns with the direction I see computational design heading, moving beyond technical workflows and embracing a broader, more nuanced understanding of urban spaces. The potential here is huge. Link to paper: https://lnkd.in/eMQ-DUPg #Urbandesign #architecture #design #computationaldesign #artificialintelligence

Good stuff to know! Elevators have evolved from simple pulleys used in ancient Rome and Greece to modern innovations. The safety elevator, introduced by Elisha Otis in 1852, revolutionized vertical transportation by preventing falls, making it a crucial component in high-rise buildings and modern architecture. #ElevatorHistory #VerticalTransportation #Skyscrapers #Innovation #UrbanDesign
