I’m thrilled to share that the latest issue of Architectural Research in Finland Vol. 8 No. 1 (https://lnkd.in/di-f8hgq), where I had the privilege of serving as co-guest editor, has just been published! ?? This edition focuses entirely on sustainability in the built environment, featuring a wide array of interesting articles. The findings within these articles often complement one another but sometimes challenge the status quo. For instance, one thought-provoking study questioned the commonly held belief that timber is inherently more sustainable than concrete. The research reveals that the sustainability of timber buildings significantly hinges on their design, raising important considerations for architects and builders alike. ?? Other fascinating studies delve into critical factors for enhancing the quality of Finnish housing, as well as urban studies on how green infrastructure can bolster urban resilience. ????? At this point, I would like to express my gratitude to all the other co-guest editors Sofie Pelsmakers, Mari-Sohvi Miettinen, Iida Kalakoski, and Raul Casta?o de la Rosa. Thank you for sharing such deep insights into your work and for taking me on board in this journey. ?? On a personal note, I’m also proud to announce that one of the articles for my doctoral dissertation was published in this issue. Along with Satu Huuhka, I explored the construction and demolition activities in the Finnish cities of Vantaa and Tampere, investigating how they correlate spatially and temporally. We found that population growth drives an increase in residential building stock, but the impact on housing typologies varies based on factors such as urban density. Given the limited availability of land for new construction, this growth places pressure on existing buildings, particularly non-residential ones. The types of buildings that are demolished as a result of these developments depend on a variety of factors, including the economic structure of the city and the spatial distribution of buildings. Although the material intensities for the Finnish building stock are still under-researched, our study offers initial insights into how various factors influence both the quantitative and qualitative dynamics of building (and material) inflows and outflows.

Episode 123 of my podcast, A is for Architecture, is a discussion with Henrik Schoenefeldt, Professor of Sustainable Architecture at the School of Architecture, Design and Planning, University of Kent, about his research into the work and influence of the Scottish physician #DavidBoswellReid on the environmental design underpinning Barry and Pugin’s #PalaceofWestminster, London. Initially an AHRC-funded scheme entitled ‘Between Heritage and Sustainability – Restoring the Palace of Westminster’s nineteenth-century ventilation system,’ and part of the Palace of Westminster #Restoration and #Renewal Programme, Henrik published *Rebuilding the Houses of Parliament: David Boswell Reid?and Disruptive Environmentalism* with Routledge Built Environment in 2020. On the significance of Boswell Reid’s work at Westminster, Henrik says ’I think what is radical about this idea was, is to integrate different ideas into one holistic strategy [and] integrated ways of climatic controlling the environment as one holistic design, and [then] applied to a building of such enormous scale and complexity. […] But the interesting thing is that […] when the building was completed, you would see it become a common practice for building to have extensive ventilation systems. So even in the buildings built in Whitehall, new public museums built in South Kensington, the Royal Albert Hall -all of those starting to incorporate these ideas, although they were not necessarily direct descendants of Reid's specific solutions in the Palace of Westminster, but they reflect a general shift towards more technologically complex buildings.’ Link below and on all proper audio platforms.

My architectural thesis, “Social Housing and Public Space”, seems altogether relevant now. My architectural project - the sacred as an essential component in any housing project, all which is not on the table because we have lost the vocabulary to describe it; we have lost our connection to meaning in the built world. This intangible quality that we see in great public spaces and projects comes from this inseparable condition: that which we call architectural principles are essentially derived from our sense of bearing, and how we face the world, and the ground we stand, in joy and awe. It is altogether possible to create buildings with joy and awe - my mission.

?? Bringing Beauty Back to American Public Buildings ?? For decades, the architecture of American public buildings has leaned heavily on functionality, often at the expense of beauty. Yet, architecture shapes not just our skylines but our identity, pride, and sense of community. How can we bring aesthetics and timeless beauty back into our public spaces? ?? Reviving Classical Principles: Designs rooted in symmetry, proportion, and ornamentation have stood the test of time. Classical architecture evokes dignity and permanence—qualities sorely needed in our civic spaces. By blending these principles with modern functionality, we can create buildings that inspire awe and serve their purpose. ?? Strengthening Architectural Education: Beauty must be taught, valued, and practiced. Schools of architecture should reintroduce classical and traditional design as part of their curricula while encouraging students to prioritize human-centric and harmonious design. Justin Shubow, a tireless advocate for classical architecture and the President of the National Civic Art Society, has recently shared his insights on this topic through several podcasts. His thoughts on the importance of design in public buildings resonate deeply. He reminds us that architecture isn’t just about structures—it’s about legacy. Check out his recent appearances Intercollegiate Studies Institute for a deeper dive into why beauty matters in public architecture: What are your thoughts on balancing timeless beauty with modern functionality in public architecture? Do we need a renewed architectural renaissance? Let’s discuss! ?? #Architecture #CivicDesign #PublicBuildings #ClassicalArchitecture #TimelessBeauty

How can we integrate new material systems in listed buildings? “Listed” buildings are key to preserving a society's architectural history and are protected to prevent changes or demolitions, which helps support their conservation. However, they often face the challenge of incorporating modern materials and systems to function well today. Updating these buildings requires a careful balance between new technologies and preserving their original character.

My Final Year Architecture Portfolio I’m thrilled to share a highlight from my academic journey: my final year architecture project centered on revitalizing the craft of stonemasonry and advancing the New Stone Age movement in the UK. Project Context: Ouseburn, Newcastle Located within the vibrant and historic industrial heart of Ouseburn, my project proposes a loadbearing stone facility that serves as a stonemasonry hub. This site intends to bridge the public and private sectors, fostering collaboration through partnerships with groups like The Stone Federation. ??? Key Focus Areas: - Load-bearing Stone Construction: Exploring sustainable and innovative uses of stone as a structural material in modern architecture. - Education and Skill Revival: Integrating training programs to support the renewal of stonemasonry, preserving heritage while meeting contemporary needs. - Community and Industry Synergy: Connecting local craftsmen, businesses, and public stakeholders to drive a circular economy in stone use. The New Stone Age Movement: With the growing emphasis on sustainability and the resurgence of interest in natural materials, this project envisions a future where stone takes center stage—not only for its durability and aesthetics but also for its ecological benefits. Building Bridges: This project is more than an academic endeavor; it’s a call to action for architects, policymakers, and organizations to collaborate in reshaping the narrative of stone in the UK’s built environment. #ArchitecturePortfolio #OuseburnProject #Stonemasonry #NewStoneAge #Sustainability #ArchitectureInnovation

ARCHITECTURE JUSTICE (KIDS DONT WANT MODERNISM): People that are young today are going to live with the decisions we adults make for them. Modernist architecture has since the 1960s made their environment uglier and less social and climate sustainable. The latter is bc a buildings lifespan is determined not by eco materials but that people want to preserve it, and we dont want to preserve ugly buildings. Since beauty in architecture is mostly objective we already know how to make the world better for our children. So what are we waiting for? Find original article here: https://lnkd.in/d-aHsN_5
