𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐨 𝐍𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐍𝐨𝐮𝐬 - 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 🍃 🏔 (visuals design by Studio NousNous) Is it possible to have a building, an #biophilicdesign architecture. That has a horizontal #housing typology and is about being a green program inclusive urban abode? We've proposed an architectural concept (©studio nousnous) that brings a variated program in one building; #education, #retail, #hospitality and #offices. Creating a green #mixeduse spatial program. The #building resembles a classical guesthouse #architecturetypology. Creating a sense of a familiar form-recognition for people. This building resembles a shape that many people, young and old, can associate with. 𝑾𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒈𝒏 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆; 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒅𝒐𝒐𝒓? 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒂𝒏 𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆?

reuse to reduce #14 WEAVING CARPETS FOR RE-ENTRY In the renovation project the largest part of the old carpet needed to be replaced. In collaboration with Sparo and designers Studio Simone Post, POPMA TER STEEGE ARCHITECTEN came up with a way to give used carped a second life in a qualitative manner. Due to uneven discoloration and variation in wear, reclaimed carpet tiles are often difficult to lay in a continuous carpet. Also there is very little demand for cut tiles, much loss due to locally soiled tiles, and small overstocks are often left over. This design provides a completely new look that gives unity to the old flooring and the building. Recarp is available through Sparo.nl and will continue to be developed as a brand in the near future.

Mixed-use developments are transforming urban landscapes by blending residential, commercial, and recreational spaces into single functional environments. We have several examples of this. The latest being MVRDV's Strijp-S Tribune in Eindhoven. This tribune-shaped building, located in the rapidly regenerating Strijp-S neighborhood, exemplifies the benefits and potential of the mixed-use concept.   Today, we explore the principles of mixed-use development and highlight the advantages of integrating multiple functions within a single structure. Such developments are crucial to accommodate growing urban populations and the increasing demand for different amenities within limited spaces   Read more - https://lnkd.in/dPz_JrtC   #mixeduse #functionalspaces #indovance

#TrendTalk Timeless Tradition Meets Modernity ✨ The classic Delft tiles, inspired by Dutch heritage, are making a stylish comeback in contemporary interiors, adding a touch of sophistication and history with their iconic blue & white designs. In modern homes, Delft ceramic wall tiles offer a unique fusion of traditional charm and sleek aesthetics. Here's why we think they're a must-have trend: 1️⃣ Heritage Meets Modernity, creating a captivating contrast that highlights the beauty of both old and new. 2️⃣ A Timeless Color Palette that complements a variety of interior styles, from minimalist and Scandinavian to eclectic and bohemian. 3️⃣ Versatility in Application, you can use Delft tiles as accent walls in living rooms or bedrooms, to create stunning backsplashes in kitchens, or to add a touch of luxury to bathrooms. 4️⃣ The hand-painted designs featuring floral motifs, scenic landscapes, and intricate patterns, turn walls into works of art, adding character and personality to your home. 5️⃣ Mix and Match different tile patterns and sizes to create custom designs that reflect your unique style. Remember that balance is key when incorporating patterned tiles in your home. #UnionTiles #DesignStudio #DelftTiles #InteriorDesign #ModernHome #TimelessAppeal #PatternPlay #ModernBathroom #KitchenBacksplash #StatementPiece

For the transformation of the Old Administrative Center in Hasselt, a design by brutalist architect Louis Ghysebrechts, we proposed a design that envisions adaptive reuse of the building and the insertion of a new volume with two movie theaters. By removing tresholds, the existing volume is connected with the public space and accessibility to the foyer is increased. New functions supporting the program of the building are organised by adding new layers into the old. Team Vanderstraeten nv | Sweco | Daidalos Peutz bouwfysisch ingenieursbureau | Belcotec

We have awarded Amsterdam's Tower Ten a Platinum ActiveScore. Part of the World Trade Center (WTC) Amsterdam, this impressive building offers 'the highest quality and comfort in both the individual offices and communal areas.' Sustainability was a key consideration in the design of Tower Ten, which was designed by PLP Architecture: 'The building stays one step ahead of Amsterdam’s evolving planning regulations, aiming to meet the goals of the Paris Climate Accord'—in addition to reusing the existing structure to retain embodied carbon, Tower Ten was also designed with efficiency at its heart. In fact, a new A+++ energy rating had to be introduced to accurately capture the building's performance and low operational carbon use.' Situated in the Zuidas district of the city (known as the 'Financial Mile'), WTC offers excellent transport links – Schiphol airport and the city centre are minutes away by train or metro from nearby Amsterdam Zuid station. Tower Ten features 1187 secure bike parking spaces for occupants, while visitors can access an incredible 6,660 bike parking spaces. 🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲 ☞ https://lnkd.in/gZrjmNqm #ActiveScore #ActiveScorePlatinum #Amsterdam

A construction project for an office building in Allschwil near Basel is taking on a pioneering role in sustainable construction. HORTUS (house of research, technology, utopia and sustainability) takes ecology further. The modern office building compensates for the grey energy used in its construction within a generation. And how? By supplying solar energy from the roof and the facade. But sustainability goes much further here. HORTUS is setting new standards by using natural materials from the region. Following the guiding principle of "love for the place", the holistic approach and the obvious idea of ​​using building materials directly from the location emerged: earth and wood. https://lnkd.in/g2MPDMuV

Biophillic Design Vincent Callebaut Architectures is Paris-based, but Vincent himself was Belgian born and raised, and he appears to be driven to change the face of hospitals in his native country. This design is intended for 5 hospitals throughout the country, all of which will maintain uniform structural and design elements. Abounding with perennial plants, the design aspires to generate most of the cooling needs from evapotranspiration and to obtain much of the electrical needs from a massive solar array spread throughout the entire rooftop. That's certainly easier with fewer rootfop air handling units! The circular design centers around an elevated parking structure and medical office wing. Atop it all is a rooftop garden accessible through walkways joined to the hospital. About 4 months ago, Vincent Callebaut Architectures announced the design for Longtain Hospital in La Louvière, Belgium. It isn't clear whether this is an expansion of that original concept or yet another series of hospitals. In either case, there are clearly plans to modernize and beautify the experience of care in the country https://loom.ly/6z4xYiw #hospitals #architecuture #biophilia

+ + + Beta Realities on ArchDaily + + + Beta Realities showcases the Master Plan for Circular Energy Park in Jinan on ArchDaily: 🏡📰 We are happy to be represented on such an important architecture platform! ⚛️🌳 The new Cuizhai Hydrogen Park will embody circular construction principles, adapting the site’s structure to accommodate both social functions and sustainable production. The master plan for the new energy park in Jinan is inspired by the qualities of hydrogen as an energy source. The development takes the shape of a central core, with layers radiating from the center to form a concentrically organized street network punctuated by public squares. Like this, the disposition of buildings not only support a circular production chain, but also create a vibrant atmosphere for the neighborhood. ☘️By combining circular construction and sustainable materials in a production facility for hydrogen as a new sustainable energy source, the project displays a truly innovative way into a brighter future! 🙏 Thanks to Maria-Cristina Florian (Buiga) for the great article and the publication!

Collaboration is the focus of the latest World Architecture Festival newsletter. Thoughts on collaboration by Ian Ritchie (Founding Director of ritchie*studio) and his 10 commandments of collaboration are reflected upon by Paul Finch: "I am also indebted to the British architect Ian Ritchie, in an exchange on collaboration, to get another reminder, this time from his 1994 book (well) Connected Architecture (Academy Editions, 1994). He defined the crucial ingredients for successful collaboration as follows: - Each must take time to listen to the other, and suspend prejudices. Not only does this allow mutual respect to grow, but without it, the synergy of mutual creativity cannot flourish: the process, like brainstorming, in which nobody can quite remember where the solution came from - The commonality of aims is usefully complemented by a diversity of expertise - No barriers = no defences. There are those who feel threatened when another profession speaks their language and questions their assumption. [It is a shame we have these languages and hide behind them at times.] This is inhibiting to any free exchange. These principles of collaboration apply at all stages of a project; initially with a client, and later with a builder or fabricator. Differences of orientation can generate conflict, or can be harnessed creatively. The trick to helping this process to move in a constructive direction is often found by sticking rigorously to an open-minded approach where everyone's preconceptions – especially our own – are questioned, and we demonstrate a willingness to receive the ideas of others and modify our own, while at the same time refusing to compromise our design principles and values. Those ideas that survive this process of challenge are the stronger for having stood up to scrutiny, and the process is exciting. Ritchie’s ‘10 Commandments of Collaboration’ are as follows: 1. We will begin without preconception or prejudice. 2. We take nothing for granted except your commitment to the project. 3. We know how to listen, but are ready to question and to be interrupted. 4. Ideas are shared – no one can claim them afterwards. Everyone owns the problems, but nobody owns the solutions. 5. We recognize the project as a mediator which helps resolve differences of view. 6. We respect the minds of our collaborators. 7. There is time together (synthetic thinking and action) and time apart (reflection). 8. All participants are equal, there are no bosses. 9. We respect the common concept – Collective idea – as being more important than what any individual could have conceived. 10. We are prepared to improvise and side-step conventional ways of doing things. This is as apt today as it was when it was written, 30 years ago." #ritchiestudio #collaboration #architecture #design #WAF #ianritchie The full article link below: https://lnkd.in/eRQwrgjA

In the smart cities approach, the Add On project by Architects team Fattinger Orso was an art and architecture installation in public space in Vienna. Peter Fattinger, Veronika Orso and Michael Rieper presented sculpture as a usable object, able to communicate and interact with the general public. Including rooftop gardens, urban farming and a vertical infrastructure, the basic structure of Add On consists of a platform reaching up high, in which specially made space modules interlock with finished parts creatively altered from their original purpose. The result was a fascinating variety of perspectives on everyday life, our surroundings, on community and environmental impacts as well as on the location of the platform itself. As a generally accessible environment, this structure let you explore new worlds, offering a range of new purpose and angles, city views and vistas at various levels.

Beautiful residential development in the Netherlands. Different urban DNA, different building typologies, different construction methods result in a highly livable city that can offer desirable alternatives to suburban sprawl. Why are we not trying this out in the best climate on the planet, in Southern CA? https://lnkd.in/ggUHTEVY
