What AHEC’s Wood for the Trees Reveals About the Future of Sustainable Design

Custom Architectural Products – Balancing Creativity with Caution
via indesignlive.com
Sometimes architects find that their project has a special requirement that can’t be met by standard products or systems. To maintain design integrity, customisation is the preference– and in many cases the only – option.Suppliers can often propose solutions using standard products in a different way from usual or embark on producing something entirely new and unique. Creativity is the core skill of architecture but in the case of bespoke products a departure from the standard -
Why Bio-Based & Rapidly Renewable Building Materials Matter
via indesignlive.com
Defined as building components derived from natural, living organisms (such as plants, fungi, and bacteria), biomaterials are experiencing a renaissance. Beyond the most obvious material (i.e. timber), we are beginning to see a broad range of such products in the built environment.One of the key attractions of such materials is that, when specified appropriately, they support sustainable architecture by reducing embodied carbon and dependence on finite resources.In this session of CPD Live we fo -
Thermal Bridging in Commercial Buildings – A Guide for Specifiers
via indesignlive.com
Thermal bridging occurs when heat bypasses insulation through more conductive materials or structural elements within the building envelope. While often considered a detailing issue, its impact extends far beyond individual components – influencing whole-building performance, energy efficiency and occupant comfort.In commercial buildings, unaddressed thermal bridging can reduce the effectiveness of insulation, increase heating and cooling demand, and contribute to higher operational energy -
Reigniting Regenerative Architecture
via indesignlive.com
As the industry faces increasing pressure to address embodied carbon, resource depletion and climate impact, architects are facing the challenge of moving from “doing less harm” to actively designing buildings and interiors that contribute positively to environmental and human systems.In this context, in this session of CPD Live, we consider the renewed importance of regenerative architecture, reframing it as a critical next step beyond conventional sustainability.Architects will gai -
Understanding & Enhancing Weathertightness in Facades
via indesignlive.com
Distinct from airtightness, weathertightness refers to a building’s capacity to protect itself from external weather conditions, as a means of reducing air/water intrusion and the presence of moisture in the building envelope.The reason weathertightness is important, and the reason architects should seek to create barriers against inclement weather, is that it helps to protect the structural integrity of the building in question. It prevents the accumulation of moisture within walls, which -
Nine Ways to Turn AI into Your Business’ Secret Weapon
via indesignlive.com
Beyond the noise surrounding its arrival – and the claims of everything from previously-unimaginable efficiency and prosperity on the one hand, to mass unemployment and dystopia on the other – there is no doubting that artificial intelligence is set to change the world. Like it or not, AI is here to stay.That said, the obvious question for architects – and indeed anybody with a job – is how is this all going to affect me? While this is not yet completely clear, for archit -
Spatial Planning Under the Livable Housing Design Standard (LHDS)

Rugs & Axminster Carpet for Commercial Applications – A Guide for Specifiers

To varying degrees – and depending on weather the job in question involves an office, a kindergarten, a public bar, or a hotel foyer – the floor chosen needs to be durable, easy to clean and safe.Beyond functional requirements, commercial flooring should also look good. It should work with broader aesthetic themes, speak to various other architectural inclusions, elevate the ambience of a space and eve
