Discarded tree forks could replace load-bearing joints in architecture projects using a construction technique developed by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. MIT's Digital Structures group has built a demo structure using tree forks as joints. The photography is by Felix Amtsberg.

A type of flooring that uses 75 per cent less concrete than the current standard has been invented by researchers at the universities of Bath, Cambridge and Dundee, who say it could make a "major difference" to the construction industry's carbon footprint. Demo shows minimum 60 per cent reduction in emissions.

I was in the Apple Store at the Toronto Eaton Center getting the battery replaced in my phone, so I decided to do a demo. Will this be used to help build buildings and coordinate design & engineering disciplines? But regardless, if you haven’t already, I would encourage you to book a demo at your local Apple Store.

But none of these alternatives is currently available at the necessary scale to reach net-zero emissions by mid-century, according to Cambridge University engineering professor Julian Allwood. Below, we've rounded up six of the most innovative projects across both approaches: Photo is by Helene Sandberg. Photo courtesy of Carbicrete.

They look rather predictable, stood empty for a long time due to a slew of construction errors, have rapid tenant turnover and never succeeded creating an attractive new community. Centerpoint apartments (Photo: Alex Cooper) By contrast, the bulk of Centerpoint was new construction with several buildings on Howard Street being retained.

Before you bring in the demo crew, have a team of structural engineers help you find opportunities to save time, money and headaches. Your structural engineers may find that the existing bones present you with a lot of opportunities. Take a multidiscipline approach. All of these can be utilized to support future development.

Stern with construction completing in the year 2000 – and is the project I am talking about today. The project (shown in the above image) was originally designed by the office of Robert A.M. It is a beautiful Georgian manor home and it has been a real treat to work on the job and transition it to its new owner (aka our client).
