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

Light, the environment, nature. These are the words that come to mind when one thinks of the works of the Danish architect Henning Larsen The sustainable urban redevelopment of Faelledby in Copenhagen is based on the use of wood. The neighbour- hood explores a living model that is more compatible with nature, creates spaces for over 7,000 residents, incorporating nests for the birds and habitats for animals in the buildings’ facades: “Taking the rural village as an archetype, we are creating a city where biodiversity and active leisure activities are the elements of a sustainable pact between people and nature”.

Registrations are closed for the Green Building Day in São Paulo! Stay tuned for the pre-sale of the next edition. Beyond its aesthetic beauty, the Elephant House at the Zurich Zoo incorporates impressive sustainable solutions. The roof not only visually mimics nature but also uses renewable materials and techniques that minimize environmental impact. The wood used in the panels is certified and sourced from sustainably managed forests. Moreover, the roof's design aids in thermal regulation of the space, reducing the need for artificial heating and cooling systems. This architectural approach is not just a visual masterpiece but also a functional example of how to merge technology with respect for the environment. 📌 What do you think of this balance between innovation and sustainability? 💌 DM for video credits #SustainableArchitecture #InnovativeDesign #ElephantHouse #NatureAndArchitecture #Sustainability

In the world of sustainable building practices, innovative techniques often arise from necessity. One fascinating method used in regions like Iran involves filling sandbags with mud to create sturdy, energy-efficient structures. This approach not only showcases traditional construction ingenuity but also helps keep interiors cool in extreme temperatures. As we explore modern construction methods, let's embrace the potential of combining contemporary technology with time-honored practices. What are your thoughts on these innovative building techniques? Weathertex Paul Michael Jason O'Hagan #SustainableBuilding #Innovation #TraditionalMethods #CoolingSolutions

This #WorldEnvironmentDay, we reaffirm our commitment to designing spaces where people and nature thrive in harmony. Sustainability is not just about the final product; it’s an integral part of the entire lifecycle of a building. From initial design and construction to use and maintenance, we incorporate sustainable practices every step of the way. By strategically positioning buildings to integrate with local ecosystems, we minimise disruption to natural processes and promote the growth and sustenance of native flora and fauna. As conscious architects and designers, we recognize the urgency of adopting innovative and environmentally conscious practices. Our dedication to creating spaces that prioritise both human well-being and the environment helps safeguard our planet's resources for future generations. #IMKArchitects #BiophilicArchitecture #SustainableDesign #Architecture #Sustainability

What does #sustainability mean in landscape architecture? Part 1: Harmonizing with Nature: Sustainability means designing #landscapes that work in harmony with the natural environment. By choosing native and adaptive plant species, we create ecosystems that thrive with minimal intervention. These plants support local #biodiversity, require less water, and reduce the need for chemical treatments, fostering a healthier, more balanced environment. At Joanna Pertz Landscape Architecture, sustainability isn’t an afterthought—it’s a foundational principle. We believe that through thoughtful, sustainable design, we can create landscapes that enhance the beauty of our surroundings and contribute to a healthier, more sustainable planet.

World Earth Day: A Call to Architects for Nature-Centric Design As we celebrate World Earth Day, it's time for architects and designers to rethink the way we build. Our structures can no longer be disconnected from the natural world - instead, we must strive to create buildings that seamlessly integrate with and celebrate the environment. This Earth Day, I challenge my fellow architects to take a nature-centric approach to design. Our buildings should not simply minimize environmental impact, but actively work in harmony with the surrounding ecosystems. Some ideas to consider: • Incorporate natural materials, greenery, and water features into the building envelope • Design for passive heating/cooling and renewable energy sources • Orient structures to optimize natural ventilation and daylight • Preserve and work with the existing landscape, rather than drastically altering it When we put nature at the heart of our designs, we create spaces that are not only sustainable, but nourishing for the human spirit. Let's use our skills as architects to combat climate change and restore the balance between the built and natural environments. This Earth Day, let's recommit ourselves to designing a greener, more beautiful future. Who's with me? #WorldEarthDay #SustainableDesign #NatureBasedSolutions #GreenBuilding

The Sentosa-Brani Master Plan – led by landscape architects Grant Associates, working together with multi-disciplinary consultants and Sentosa Development Corporation – is a bold future vision for #Singapore’s iconic leisure destination. Crafted to safeguard #biodiversity while fostering distinctive environments, it envisions a unique haven where fun, play, and nature intertwine for global travellers and locals alike. Extensive surveys and studies inform the design, considering factors like nature, topography, infrastructure, #climatechange and stakeholder feedback. The plan emphasizes the role of #topography and natural environment in shaping character and experiences, with zones showcasing diverse natural assets. From lush forest ridges to coastal reefs, this landscape-centric approach not only underscores a profound connection with nature but also nurtures innovation in visitor experiences, seamlessly melding with the surrounding urban fabric. #landscapearchitecture #design #greeninfrastructure #designinspiration

Maritime habitats are the most populous habitats in the world. Urbanization progresses faster on the waterfront, and at the same time, maritime habitats will be the most affected by the consequences of climate change. In this context, #VESSEL, an #AcademyProject executed by our Industrial Designer, Konstantin Wolf, offers a visionary solution to the pressing challenges faced by urban coastal regions. VESSEL merges architecture with mobility to meet the growing needs of urban coastal areas while securing a sustainable future. Developed under the guidance of Prof. Wolfgang Schabbach (Fakultät Design | Hochschule Coburg) and Sven Feustel as part of the PHOENIX Academy's "Movement & Mobility" theme, VESSEL features a compact design that unites elements of boat building and architecture. It allows for seamless integration between land and water transport. The open stern facilitates easy transition from land to water, while the semi-enclosed body offers comfort, privacy, and protection. This concept encourages shared usage and integration with other transport modes, contributing to a more connected and sustainable urban environment. Konstantin underscores how his experience at the PHOENIX Academy was pivotal in his development as a designer, allowing him to explore complex topics like mobility, urbanism, and sustainability in a professional setting. At a crucial time in his journey, the Academy allowed him to learn, take risks, make mistakes, and receive constructive feedback in an open and professional environment—an experience beyond what his university could offer. Through VESSEL, he identified and addressed the shortcomings in his work and addressed them accurately, a process that has significantly boosted his career to this day. The VESSEL Project exemplifies what can be achieved with innovative thinking and proper support.
