Daylight is often treated as one of architecture’s most universal resources. It enters buildings without a price tag, crosses property boundaries, changes throughout the day, and appears to belong to everyone. Yet the experience of sunlight is far from equally ...
To view the figures and tables associated with this article, please refer to the flipbook above. Post-installed connections are a cornerstone of modern engineering, with traditional anchors, such as wedge, screw, and adhesive types, commonly relied upon for high-capacity applications ...
MIT researchers combine modular folded cells, computational design, and digital fabrication to create lightweight structures that use less material and require simpler assembly. MIT researchers developed a new type of origami-based construction method that could be used to build complex ...
For much of modern history, aging has been treated as a problem for medicine, social care, and public policy. Hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, and specialized housing have become the familiar architectural responses to an aging population. Yet this approach ...
Cities are becoming denser, apartments are becoming smaller, and access to outdoor space is increasingly treated as a privilege rather than an ordinary part of urban life. Against this background, the balcony has acquired a significance that extends far beyond ...
Un impianto domotico mette in comunicazione sensori, attuatori e controller per gestire in modo coordinato luci, tapparelle, climatizzazione, sicurezza e consumi. Può essere cablato su bus, come KNX, wireless o ibrido, e la scelta dipende dall’edificio, dal tipo di intervento ...
For decades, the shopping mall represented one of architecture’s most confident promises: that the organization of space could organize desire. Through carefully controlled circulation, artificial climates, illuminated storefronts, food courts, escalators, and carefully staged public interiors, the mall transformed shopping ...
Expressionist buildings emerged in the 1910s, mainly in Germany and the Netherlands, as a reaction against historicism and the growing rationalism of industrial design. It borrowed its name from the Expressionist painters of Dresden’s Die Brücke, founded in 1905. Early ...
Pompe di calore, accumuli, teleriscaldamento e biomasse: le soluzioni presenti e future per ridurre i fossili, il peso degli incentivi e le prospettive di studio su idrogeno verde e reazioni nucleari LENR fanno comprendere che molte alternative di riscaldamento sostenibile ...
Architecture has always depended on a peculiar form of education: learning by doing work that is not yet particularly important. Before an architect can make convincing decisions about structure, material, circulation, or urban form, they must spend years dealing with ...
