Space Race Architects’ Post

As we look around us, we see pieces of history in the buildings and architecture that make up our cities. In Florida, these buildings can be hundreds of years old, and in other countries, far older than that.    Learning how early civilizations had to continually innovate and engineer building techniques with limited resources and knowledge really deepens my appreciation for both ancient and modern construction. Despite having far less access to information and technology, they created enduring structures that continue inspire builders today.    It's not often that I stumble upon videos worth sharing here, but this animation does a fantastic job showcasing how the founders of Venice, Italy built what is now a world-class city from mere marshlands, and continued to grow it despite the constantly changing circumstances in the city. To see many of these structures still standing today speaks to how ingenious their techniques were - give it a watch! #engineering #construction #generalcontracting #design #sustainability https://lnkd.in/eqPAuzPv

How'd They Do It? _______________________________ Looking for a bit of inspiration to fire the rest of your week? Look no further than "The crazy engineering of Venice" brought to us by Primal Space, below. The world is longing for a redesign of systems currently failing their intention because they fail in compatibility with Nature's own sustainably intelligent design - long disrespected, dismissed and now, increasingly destabilized. The architecture of Venice reveals astonishingly insightful and enduring engineering principals from a thousand years ago while harnessing Nature's physics together with natural materials. Note especially, the fresh water collection system envisioned and implemented then... and relevant still. Brilliant. Scalable. Sustainable. A favorite aspect of great engineering? From the simplest implement to the most complex system, the best designs latently possess innumerable points of innovation over time, offering the ultimate flex potential relative to changing needs and opportunities. Some designs are true classics. Let's consider resiliency in the face of challenge, and nature-positive material science to help preserve what remains of our natural world. ______________________________ #earth #climate #climateinstability #planetaryboundaries #drought #deluge #resiliency #naturepositive #water #watercollectionsystems #engineering #architecture #principals #concepts #systems ______________________________ https://lnkd.in/eXZfDrJt

Cheng-Wei Lee, winner of the “Emerging Landscape Architect of the Year” title at the BLT Built Design Awards 2024, presents his experimental project Exoskeletons. This project delves into arthropod exoskeletons’ structural and morphological principles as a source of inspiration for new construction methods in landscape architecture. In this interview, Cheng-Wei Lee discusses the design process behind Exoskeletons, including developing a custom algorithmic workflow that optimizes material efficiency by responding to load and strain levels. Join us as we explore the innovative ideas behind this award-winning project. Read more: https://lnkd.in/dc9drfdA Photo Credit: Cheng-Wei Lee

Designed to elevate your space, our linear lights highlight architectural features, creating a stunning visual impact

Exploring the Dynamic Pathways: Enhancing Vertical and Horizontal Interactions in Architectural Spaces.

Do you know what triple effect the light has? Light for visual functions – Illumination of task area in conformity with relevant standards – Glare-free and convenient Light for emotional perception – Lighting enhance architecture – Creating scenes and effects Light creates biological effects – Supporting people’s circadian rhythm – Stimulating or relaxing
