Day 27 out of 100 : Diving into Rural Tourism Sustainable Rural Architecture Imagine a rural tourism destination that's not just beautiful, but also environmentally restorative and empowers the local community. As an architect, rural development activist, and sustainability enthusiast, I'm witnessing the inspiring potential of sustainable rural architecture. It's more than just aesthetics – it's about creating a positive impact. Environmental impact: Think local, low-impact materials, solar power, natural ventilation, and rainwater harvesting. These elements create a lighter footprint on the environment. Socioeconomic benefits: Sustainable architecture preserves cultural heritage through design, fostering a strong sense of identity for the local community. It also creates opportunities for local artisans and craftspeople. Tourist experience: Sustainable architecture offers tourists a unique connection to the natural environment and the local way of life, making their experience even richer. By embracing sustainable principles, rural tourism destinations can become regenerative spaces for both the environment and the local community. What are your thoughts on this approach? Let's discuss how we can make sustainable rural architecture a reality! #rural #sustinable #architecture #tourism #travel #uae #dubai #heritage #cultural

Habitat Lago Maggiore, in the Ticino village of Piazzogna, is the perfect combination of built and natural heritage. A project focused on a special sense of respect for the territory, which was also highlighted by the Hotel Innovation Award. My name is Alessia Antonioli, architect working for atelier ribo+, and I would like to introduce you to this ambitious project that aims to promote a form of sustainable tourism. SUSTAINABLE TOURISM Within the nucleus of Piazzogna, in a building plot surrounded by forest and with a wonderful view of Lake Maggiore, we want to create an ecosystem of interconnected accommodation facilities that can offer a unique tourist experience.  A vision based on the concept of sustainability and rediscovery of the balance between man and nature. A place to meet and exchange, where one can retreat and regenerate. BUILDING BY ENHANCING THE TERRITORY In a world where urban planning pressure is increasingly aimed at mass construction, sacrificing the land in favour of modernity, Habitat Lago Maggiore takes a new, much more sensitive approach. The aim is to build the complex with the utmost respect for the context. The preservation of history and morphological characteristics become central architectural criteria, on the basis of which the general concept is founded and the best construction methods are studied. It is a question of understanding the history of the area, reading its peculiarities, observing the influence of time. A PAST THAT LAYS THE FOUNDATIONS FOR THE FUTURE Even the choice of materials was pervaded by this concept. The project was born and built from the experiences of the past, taking local materials and those present on the site, skilfully repurposed through the use and knowledge of current construction methods. Still at the planning stage, Habitat Lago Maggiore was nominated in 2022 among the three best hotel concepts in Switzerland in the Hotel Innovation Awards promoted by Gastro Suisse.  Today we have reached the laying of the foundation stone, which will take place next week with the official start of construction. And you, what do you think, would you like to live an immersive experience in nature? #architecture #sustainability #innovation #nature #landscape

Modernist hotels in West Africa stand as symbols of the region's mid-20th-century independence and forward-looking aspirations. These architectural marvels, built to host dignitaries or boost tourism, encapsulate the complex political and historical narratives of newly sovereign nations. They are more than structures; they are historical markers. https://buff.ly/3Ufw590 #Architecture

Our commitment extends beyond creating beautiful, functional spaces; we pledge to foster sustainability at every step

Well we like to be No.1! "The ten most expensive buildings in the world" MBS and RWS top the list! "People tend to compete with each other, in almost every field you can think of. Well, this human nature naturally affects the way we approach different activities and architecture is no exception. Various places around the world have become home to tall and expensive buildings, the top ten of which we've brought below (costs are adjusted for inflation). 1. Marina Bay Sands Complex, Singapore The most expensive building in the world is also the most expensive casino in the world. With a cost of 5.5 billion dollars, the most impressive part of the complex is the 'sky park', which connects three adjacent buildings and can accommodate nearly 4000 people. The total cost of the building, at the time of completion in 2010, was 6 billion dollars. 2. World Sentosa Resort, Singapore On the south coast of Singapore is the famous Resort, 'World Sentosa'. The spaces around this complex offer amazing sights to visitors, starting with the large number of aquatic creatures. The construction of this complex had a cost of 5.38 billion dollars." No.1 and No.2! 😲🙄🤣 What do you think? Link to story here: https://lnkd.in/gDUgH-Jd

In the world of design and architecture, storytelling takes on a transformative role, allowing us to communicate the essence of our projects beyond the mere layout of spaces. Reflecting on David Nikuradze's insights about storytelling by design, it's a reminder of how narrative elements can craft an identity that is intrinsic to every project. The recent unveiling of the Lifestyle Hotel project by SPECTRUM Architecture in the Radisson Hotel Group is a testament to this philosophy. Each design choice is an articulate narrative element that contributes to the holistic experience. The work done by the team underpins the potential of thoughtful design to elevate spaces into narratives that captivate and resonate with those who experience them.For anyone looking to expand their horizons in architecture or design, consider the stories your work can tell. They might just redefine the boundaries of what we perceive as possible.
