𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁 To help turn architectural projects into reality by studying the best implementation solutions: this is one of the key tasks of the Technical Unit. Such is the case with the Palazzo Senza Tempo, in the historic center of Peccioli (Tuscany), conceived with the purpose of revitalizing a remarkable area within the town's historical core, dedicated to cultural activities and community services. This vision is realized through the redevelopment and restoration of 15th-century buildings, complemented by the addition of a 20-meter iconic cantilevered terrace, projecting onto the landscape beyond. Serving as a bridge between the city and the countryside, the terrace becomes a dynamic public square, ideal to host various events and gatherings. From a construction standpoint, the project faced a dual challenge: executing the substantial 20-meter cantilever and achieving a structurally slim design to create a public space beneath the terrace with a double volume, embracing the countryside. To address this challenge, a predominantly steel structure was implemented, substantially reducing thickness while ensuring a balance of solidity and lightness. This was accomplished through a sequence of steel profiles seamlessly integrated throughout the square’s deck, ensuring a cohesive and structurally sound foundation. The collaborative efforts of technicians and designers have given rise to a new contemporary landmark in the town of Peccioli, interacting with its historical heritage. The decision to leave the structure exposed underneath, without the addition of a false ceiling, further enhances the project's authenticity and architectural finesse.

Casa Milà, also known as La Pedrera, is one of Antoni Gaudí’s most celebrated architectural works, completed in 1912. This iconic building in Barcelona showcases Gaudí's pioneering structural engineering for the time, marked by its undulating stone facade and organic, wave-like design. Spanning six floors, the building features irregularly shaped windows and wrought-iron balconies, making it a masterpiece of modernist architecture. One of the key engineering innovations of Casa Mila is its free-form, self-supporting stone facade and the absence of load-bearing walls. Gaudí used an internal steel frame and columns, allowing for an open-plan interior that could be adjusted without compromising the building’s structure. This flexibility was revolutionary at the time, giving residents the freedom to modify their apartments without impacting the overall stability. Additionally, the roof is another engineering marvel, featuring sculptural chimneys and ventilation towers that are both functional and artistic. The undulating roof structure is supported by a grid of arches beneath, distributing the weight evenly and allowing for the iconic curves of the building. Casa Mila exemplifies Gaudí’s innovative use of organic forms and advanced engineering techniques, pushing the boundaries of architecture and structure in the early 20th century. It remains a symbol of how art and engineering can seamlessly blend to create a living masterpiece. #famousstructures #structuralengineering #engineeringfacts

The uniqueness of this design is embodied in its futuristic approach, playing with asymmetry and unconventional crystalline structures that seem to defy gravity. The geometric shapes, particularly the diamond-like central feature, are both visually arresting and structurally innovative. This complexity of form is softened by the integration of green spaces within the terraces, creating a sense of a living building. The use of concrete and glass is masterful, juxtaposing transparency with the raw, textured surface of the concrete, which also speaks to a brutalist influence. The building's reflection in the tranquil water surface amplifies its impact, adding to the sense of stillness and symmetry in the overall composition. This design stands out for its visionary qualities, merging form and function in a manner that is both artistic and habitable, presenting a new paradigm in architectural design.

Discovering the Beauty of PH Train Stations Philippine train stations are not only transportation hubs but also architectural marvels that showcase the country's rich history and culture. From the Spanish colonial era to modern designs, these train stations offer a glimpse into the past while serving as important landmarks for commuters and travelers alike. Spanish Colonial Influence Many of the train stations in the Philippines were built during the Spanish colonial period, which is evident in their architecture.

1747 SPATIAL OCCUPATION of ARCHITECTURAL FORMS -Gautam Shah https://lnkd.in/gMM9rKpv Architectural entities have close relationship, between volume and the surfaces (interior-exteriors). Larger surfaces emerge with the play of solids and voids, which also increases the perceptive mass of the building. There are many other factors that modulate the Spatial occupation of architectural forms, such as, visible undersides of projections, continuity of vertical and ground shadows, hollowed spaces, glassed spaces (both transparent and translucent surfaces), scale of details, surfaces rendering by suitable colour and texture, distance, visibility, etc.

Polysmiths recently unveiled their latest project, Arch House, which marries Mediterranean design elements with traditional London architecture. The studio aimed to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere that resonates with the client's roots in Gibraltar, highlighted by stunning structural arches and a unique lime plaster finish. The renovation includes an expansive 34-square-meter extension that transforms the home's layout into interconnected spaces filled with light. Reflecting on this project, I remember my own experiences traveling through Mediterranean regions and how their architecture conveys a sense of harmony with nature. The use of natural materials and light in Polysmiths's design truly captures that essence. How do you integrate cultural influences into your design projects? Do you feel that personal experiences play a significant role in architectural choices? It's fascinating to see how design can tell a story and reflect one's background!
