Design of A Commercial High-Rise Building concept : Creating a Illusional Landmark in Urban Space

So much fun. One hint. Book the Tuesday workshop or tours. The tours always sell out and the line-up is incredible. Then Something New 3-4 PM Tuesday March 25th. Two Keynote panels just before the opening reception! Session #1 | Installation Training and Safety: A Roundtable Discussion or Session #2 | Sustainable Lumber: Its Role in Engineered Wood Products

It’s the first #MasonryMonday of July! Can you believe how quickly 2024 is going by?! To start off the month, here’s another book recommendation: Reglazing Modernism, by Angel Ayón, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP, Uta Pottgiesser, and Nathaniel Richards. As many of the icons of the Modern Movement get older, the conservation of the buildings is becoming paramount in the minds of building users and professionals. One issue peculiar to the Modernist movement is the use of metal-framed single-glazed exterior enclosures, including windows, storefronts, and window walls. While the buildings may appear to be serviceable, the energy issues that arise with these enclosures can endanger them. Put simply, Modernist icons have not performed well when it comes to sustainability and user comfort. Ayón et al feature 20 case studies of buildings in the United States and Europe where either Restoration, Rehabilitation, or Replacement of the exterior glazed assemblies took place. The buildings—all of which have some sort of local historic landmark designation—were all retained and are thriving from a building performance standpoint. This is a well-written book featuring excellent, clear graphics (including 3-D sections and details), and a detailed account of what took place at each project. Full disclosure: I am a bit biased, as two projects were completed by current or previous employers. I was fortunate enough to be involved with one! #buildingpreservation #buildingenclosure #buildingrestoration #buildingconservation #conservation #facades #historicpreservation #historicrestoration #historicconservation #heritagerestoration #heritagepreservation #heritageconservation #heritagebuildings #docomomo #hallidiebuilding #sanfrancisco #newyorkcity #chicago #franklloydwright #modernarchitecture #modernmovement #modernistarchitecture #newhaven #preservation #restoration #rehabilitation #unesco

🔔 We’re building a knowledge hub, and we need your case studies! 🔔 We’re collecting examples of real-life vertical extensions of buildings with biobased materials like timber to show how Optoppen works in different contexts.  All types of project, at detailed design stage and beyond, with hybrid timber frames as well as full-timber structures are welcome – whether it’s the addition of several storeys to a city centre office block, or Optoppening a beachside hotel to add more rooms and a swimming pool. If you’ve got a project you’d like to showcase, submit to one of the below typeforms for a chance to feature in one of our monthly highlight reels of optoppen submissions 🎞 In English: https://lnkd.in/ejTnnxU9 In Spanish: https://lnkd.in/e3APnxQV In Dutch: https://lnkd.in/eW4tS2WD #buildings #climate #optoppen #timber #cities #biobased Whitby Wood Mule Studio New Urban Networks EU Holland Houtland Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia Creative City Solutions Rising Tide
