MIT engineers build load-bearing structures using tree forks instead of steel joints

Deezen

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.

Adhesives or Sealants: How to choose the right product for a specific job? (+Demo videos)

Building and Interiors

These construction chemicals sometimes use the same material for their preparation. So, it becomes extremely important to understand the difference between these construction chemicals so that we can choose the perfect product for the perfect job. Some of the common types used in building construction are: adhesive glue.

New concrete vaulted floor suggests path to cutting carbon emissions

Deezen

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.

The Art of Upcycling: How RDG Planning & Design Transformed Reclaimed Wood into a Stunning Staircase

Architizer

We removed everything down to the structural form which revealed the sculptural nature of the original design. In this case, it would have been easier to come in and simply demo the space. Ultimately, working closely with MCL Construction allowed us to achieve the highest quality results.

When preserving a historic building shouldn't be called hardship

Community Architect Daily

This lazy approach is usually accompanied by the argument that whatever new they would build would be be much better than the derelict, vacant and neglected old structure they want to tear down. The comparison would be a new structure versus a rehabilitated one. But this obviously a misleading argument.
