Homes Oz-Green Shell Is Actually a Sustainability Move Houses We Love: Every day we feature a remarkable space submitted by our community of architects, designers, builders, and homeowners. Have one to share? Post it here.
In every aspect of its design, the building responds to COA's ambitious goals for sustainability, from macro issues of siting, massing and systems' design to micro issues of material selection and detailing," the architectural studio said.
My responsibility is to connect multiple and complex fields of knowledge and engage in multidisciplinary thinking to help the design team arrive at the most cost-effective, sustainable, and attractive design solution possible. The systems perspective is the antithesis of the silo mentality.
"We need creativity to overcome the social-housing stigma and we need architects who can invent new ways to create housing that is decent, has dignity, is beautiful and sustainable within the budgets allowed." "If If you're an architect that engages with the issue of housing in a creative way, then you're a much-needed solution to a problem."
"By pushing the columns to the edge of the structure, each floor can be modified as educational needs evolve, and will retain the flexibility to expand from the back in the future." Other sustainable elements include ample daylighting, solar-controlled fabric shades and water-saving plumbing fixtures.
The surrounding environment informed the design "By simultaneously folding the house inward on itself and reaching outward to the land, we established a homestead in a transitional space that sustains human activity as well as wildlife."
The Kendeda Building for Innovative Sustainable Design – The Kendeda Building was created to foster environmental education, research, and a public forum for community outreach.

Used as an extension of founder Louis T Lemay's personal residence, the design for the 2,500-square-foot (232-square metre) house came out of Lemay's in-house sustainable design lab called the Phénix. It's home, one that interconnects you with nature while having as low an impact as possible on it," Lemay said.
Flexible indoor event space sits in the centre of the complex "Citypark exhibits a seamless fusion of structuralengineering and architectural design," said the studios.
Classroom interiors are filled with natural light and muted in colour to help encourage focused learning The school has a number of sustainable features, including rooftop solar panels and water-efficient landscaping and plumbing fixtures. The photography is by Ty Cole.

Sustainable efforts in the building include a reduction in the use of concrete , as well as raising the building's lower levels to be above the flood zone of the nearby East River. The photo is by Chris Cooper | ArchExplorer "There is something very light about the two towers that appealed to us.
HOK has unveiled designs for the Major League Soccer's first fully electric stadium in Queens "Our design team has created a sustainable, technology-driven experience and integrated the stadium into the context of a future district," HOK principal and senior project designer Rashed Singaby told Dezeen.
The interior hosts studios and classrooms for a variety of making Sustainable strategies were incorporated into the design, such as "self-shading façades and night-flush ventilation" according to the studio, while infrastructure is in place for a future "net-positive" system.
It has a variety of hues "In the spirit of cooperation, sand was sustainably collected, in partnership with UNESCO, geologists and communities across the world's desert regions," it added. The artwork celebrates each of the lands from which it is created, and the people who nurture, conserve, and sustain these lands."
The multidisciplinary team has completed a full-scale demo of the floor, built inside a Cambridge University CivilEngineering Department facility, and hopes the innovation will be adopted by the construction industry to reduce its carbon emissions. Flooring innovation makes use of concrete's strengths. The demo floor measures 4.5
The structures have mass-timber structures and brick facades The new buildings – officially called Barry Mills Hall and the John and Lile Gibbons Center for Arctic Studies – were designed by American studio HGA , which served as both architect and structuralengineer. The photography is by Michael Moran.

Through careful traffic planning and employing a vertical use of space, our scheme meets the station's existing passenger demand while leaving room for future sustainable development and expansion," it added. The post MAD unveils sunken Train Station in the Forest in Jiaxing appeared first on Dezeen.
The site and desert landscape posed distinct challenges and opportunities in exploring expansion of living space, sustainability and resilience," the team said. The addition of a sewer system, along with other costly infrastructure updates, led to a tight budget for design elements – which the team embraced.
The course gives students a comprehensive knowledge of parametric architecture, robotics and digital manufacturing On graduating, students can continue developing careers as project managers, structuralengineers, computational designers, robot and drone designers or interactive designers.
The transformational development is being hailed as is an important milestone on the road to creating more sustainable green cities in the region and worldwide. Both projects have sustainability at their heart. Design: Cassidy + Ashton with structuralengineering specialist TRP Consulting. image courtesy of architects.
