Adding to its growing portfolio of mass timber buildings, Hines opened T3 ATX Eastside in Austin. Sharing some of the triumphs and challenges of this unique project, Cherise Lakeside, FCSI, interviewed Bobby Larson, Senior Associate, DLR Group. The design team decided to expose some the exterior timber. Consequently, the natural greying of the wood over time will help the new building better blend into its surrounding environment. In embracing the local context, Laron’s team selected materials and textures to compliment the exposed timber including leather, blackened steel and brick. “Their natural texture, colors and patterns with slight variation fit with the timber structure,” explains Larson. Another issue with mass timber is negotiating the permitting process for the structural requirements, fire protection, acoustics, etc., particularly when jurisdictions are not so familiar with this building type. “We try and meet with the city early in the project and go over the code justifications to make sure we both understand the code the same way. Then once we get into permitting, we can head off a lot of questions,” he relates. #masstimber #architecture #structuralengineering #officedesign

Thermal performance for this luxury new build project on the Sussex coast was critical - so much so that this is actually the first time we have specified our enhanced ODC300+ sliding door system. Our technical team needed to work hard to achieve a flush track solution for all the sliding doors, that would still perform to the required water tightness, given the property’s highly exposed location. Another challenge of this project from a glazing perspective was the dramatic ‘up-and-over’ rooflight, seen in this video. The property’s location again meant that the detailing and sealing on this was critical. The entire glazing package was manufactured off-plan, so efficient communication and collaboration between our ODC Door and Glass Systems teams and those at RX Architects and ATLANT Construction was key to the success of the project. #newbuild #propertydeveloper #residentialconstruction #coastalhome #aluminiumglazing #slidingglass #contemporaryhome #ukarchitect

And here is another example of ULMA Architectural Solutions K-Slat cladding. Yesterday I showed you the horizontally installed slats, today they are vertical. BTW, it is always a concealed installation, no visible screws or clips. Did I mention that it passed ULC-S134! No more restrictions in Ontario! #rainscreen #sustainablecladding #Soundsolutions #OBC2024

?? Remember when we put your #architecture knowledge to the test? Now it's time to bring the truth to light: The Auditorio de Tenerife in the Canary Islands really does exist. It is a congress and concert hall with over 2,000 seats that offers unforgettable moments. Its unusual shape, featuring a 100-metre cantilevered wing roof and thin #concrete walls, makes it a must-see highlight. We provided: ? Hydraulically operated special formwork carriage based on our self-climbing technology ? Frame formwork for the foundations ? Climbing formwork for symmetrically arranged round and curved walls ? #Scaffolding to support the wing roof These solutions not only ensured the safety of the workers but also made it possible to complete 32 concreting sections of the wing roof at regular weekly intervals. ?? #PERI #constructon #architecture #civilengineering #loveconstruction

From Group 1 to Group 4, the Group Number rating system categorises surface finishes based on their combustibility and how quickly they can reach flashover in a fire. The lower the number, the safer the material. Group 1S offers the best possible rating with minimal smoke production, crucial for public spaces and escape routes. Check out our blog to understand how these ratings impact your architectural and design choices, ensuring compliance and safety. https://lnkd.in/gEJn5SSk #Fireshield #FireRatings #ArchitecturalSafety #BuildingMaterials #SafetyFirst

Looking for guidance on designing a building that will stand up to lateral loads? We break down the critical role that diaphragms and shear walls play in creating a resilient structure in our recent blog post on Building Design & Construction - BDC. We define diaphragms and shear walls, discuss the advantages of wood diaphragm design, and more. Read > apawood.ly/U2hm50TnNyI #Diaphragm #ShearWalls

Citadel Building Systems is please add another Retractable Roofing Solutions to its existing range – The Scissor Awning System.?Often there is a requirement to project a roof over long distance without any supports – this is where the Scissor Awning provides a solution – the system works with scissor arms and can extend up to a projection of 8 meters from any wall and can also extend length wise up to 8 meters along the wall – a phenomenal area to be covered. #FacadeDesign #RoofingSolutions #ArchitecturalExcellence #DesignInspiration #BuildingFacade #RoofingDesign #RealEstateDevelopment #ArchitectsOfInstagram #DesignInnovation #ConstructionIndustry #FacadeEngineering #RoofingContractor #InteriorDesign #FacadeTechnology #BuildingDesign #RoofingMaterials #UrbanDesign #ArchitecturalFirm #ExteriorDesign #RoofingExperts

Are slurry walls and diaphragm walls the same? Although they may seem alike and possess some comparable features in their design and intent, each one has distinct roles and particular uses that are unique to it. BlueWing DCPL director Pankti Vasoya outlines the difference between the two construction techniques.
