Terraced communication Take a look with us at the SQUARE building at the University of St. Gallen: Designed by the acclaimed architect Sou Fujimoto, this terraced structure not only accentuates the natural landscape but also supports innovative approaches to education thanks to communicative spatialization. A standout feature of the building is its double-skin façade. It comprises 448 unique elements, each made of float glass and laminated safety glass coated with #SILVERSTAREN2Plus for excellent thermal insulation and high light transmission. The triple-glazed units ensure optimum energy efficiency, with a Ug of 0.6 W/(m²K) important in winter, while blinds within the façade prevent overheating in summer. Additionally, the dot-matrix pattern of the outer pane not only provides a further level of solar control, but also creates a distinctive texture that enhances the building's visual identity.

WHY GLASS BLOCKS /GLASS BRICKS Transparent, light, beautiful, and sustainable, today’s glass block is also intelligent, and the premier material for discerning minds in contemporary design and architecture. The sustainable material par excellence, it is both 100% recyclable and infinitely recyclable, a quality unmatched by any other material. Experienced contemporary architects and designers, transforming the glass block in an object of design and releasing its full potential. HIGH TECHNICAL FEATURES With advanced technology like thermal and acoustic insulation, mechanical reinforcement, and fire resistance, glass block meets the needs of today’s architectural projects with even more style and creativity. Standard glass block is hollow one-chamber product, where the inner space is filled with under-pressured air. The thermal transmission (U-value) of such glass block is approx. 3.0 W/m2K. Energy Saving option brings a flat glass sheet insertion into the glass block, which eventually forms two-chamber system. #cidawards

Exploring Architectural Innovation with Midjourney I'm excited to share some of my recent experimentations with Midjourney, as a powerful tool for generating stunning architectural concepts. This collection features a range of innovative designs that push the boundaries of modern architecture. The futuristic lakeside buildings harmonize with their natural surroundings, featuring smooth curves, expansive glass, and warm lighting that reflects beautifully off the water. The unique hexagonal facade of the urban structure showcases how unconventional designs can redefine cityscapes, with an interplay of metallic elements and large windows creating a visually striking and functional space. The colorful, modern buildings highlight how lighting and color can transform urban environments, making them more dynamic and engaging. Additionally, the innovative structure, with its almost sculptural appearance, uses materials that mimic natural forms, standing out as a testament to creative architectural design. Midjourney has been an incredible tool for exploring new design possibilities and pushing the creative envelope. I'm looking forward to continuing this journey and seeing where it takes my architectural visions next. #Architecture #Design #Innovation #Midjourney #Experimentation #ModernArchitecture #Creativity

Art Meets Science in Every Roof I Design In the world of architecture, creativity and precision intertwine, forming a beautiful intersection where art meets science. As a roofing and waterproofing specialist with an architectural background, I navigate this fusion daily. To me, a roof is more than a structure; it's a canvas. Each decision, from the slope to the materials chosen, represents a brushstroke contributing to the overall masterpiece. But it's not solely about aesthetics. The science of waterproofing ensures that this artwork endures the test of time. My work harmonizes these realms. I interpret the artistic vision of a building and implement scientific principles to safeguard and maintain it. Whether crafting a green roof that integrates with nature or selecting materials that withstand extreme conditions, I strive to harmonize beauty with longevity. When art converges with science, the outcome is truly remarkable, a structure that is visually captivating and engineered to withstand the elements. #ArtMeetsScience #Architecture #Roofing #Waterproofing #DesignInnovation #SustainableBuilding

Discover Slalom’s newborns! Woody and Bloom are two bio-based sound-absorbing wall systems, which fully express the Acousthetics philosophy: a fusion of acoustic comfort, aesthetics and ethics. Woody gives a new life to FSC® certified wood, treated with an innovative thermoforming technique that guarantees thinness and grooving. Bloom brings to the scene a charming regeneration of herbs and flowers that are imprinted on the sound-absorbing surface.

Hybrid facade design, the integration of diverse materials and technologies in a building's exterior, holds crucial significance in contemporary architecture. This approach involves combining elements like glass, metal, and sustainable materials to achieve a balance of aesthetics, functionality, and energy efficiency. The synergy of traditional and modern design not only contributes to visual appeal but also enhances the building's overall performance. The adaptability of hybrid facades allows architects to address specific functional requirements, from energy efficiency to ventilation and natural light. By fostering innovation and adaptability, hybrid facade design becomes instrumental in creating sustainable and aesthetically pleasing structures. In essence, it serves as a dynamic solution that aligns with modern architectural principles, offering flexibility and efficiency in diverse building projects. #conceptualdesign #TAKTIKDesignThinkingLab
