The Canton Tower in Guangzhou, China, stands as a marvel of modern structural engineering. With its hyperboloid, twisting design, the tower is both visually striking and structurally efficient, combining a unique lattice framework that narrows at the "waist" and widens at the top and bottom. This design helps distribute loads and withstand the area’s intense wind and seismic forces. Advanced engineering techniques, including vortex-induced vibration controls and tuned mass dampers, keep the structure stable and comfortable for visitors. Rising 604 meters, Canton Tower embodies innovation in skyscraper design and showcases the blend of art and engineering in contemporary architecture. #CantonTower #StructuralEngineering #EngineeringMarvel #ModernArchitecture #TwistingTower

Big pants or Oriental Gate? What do you see? The 301 metre high Oriental Gate in Suzhou is a masterpiece of modern engineering that combines tradition and innovation. Designed by studio RMJM, it features an arched structure that required advanced load distribution solutions and the use of high-strength materials such as structural steel and laminated glass. Featuring a glass façade optimised for energy efficiency, the building is an example of sustainability and engineering progress. But its particular shape has also generated the nickname "Big Pants"… what do you think about it? #engineering #structuralengineering #architecture #sjyscraper For more: 📌 Follow #ImpressiveEngineering 📌 Click on the 🔔 and select "All"

May's blog is published! Thank you to USGlass Magazine®! In this second part of my discussion with Max Wolf of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), we review the impact his facade #LCA analyses have had on façade design, the need to increase curtainwall #servicelife, planning for #resilience and the power (or lack thereof) of architects to drive a low-carbon design agenda.

Preserving historic architecture while integrating modern energy efficiency solutions can be challenging, but our insulation coating technology makes it possible with ease - especially when applied by spraying. Even on the intricate murals of an 1879 Italian Renaissance-style building in Hungary, now an embassy, the coating is easily sprayable. It efficiently covers large surfaces without compromising the integrity of the original artwork. The result is a flawlessly refreshed surface that honours the building’s storied past while enhancing energy efficiency. It's inspiring to see how tradition and innovation come together in projects like this. If you're planning your next project, we’d love to help. #coating #spraying #application #applicationtechnique #historicpreservation #energyefficiency #insulation #renovation #architechturalheritage #sustainability #beschichtung #sprühen #anwendung #anwendungstechnik #denkmalschutz #energieeffizienz #isolierung #renovierung #nachhaltigkeit
