We had Patrick Bellow from Atelier 10 at ACME yesterday to discuss the pertinence of designing simpler buildings.
"Architectural Labyrinths: Unveiling Sustainability in the Threads of Myth"
In the labyrinth of ancient myth, where Daedalus wove secrets into stone and Ariadne's thread guided the lost, a hidden language emerged. This was not merely a maze to confound, but a marvel of hydraulic mastery. Beneath the palace of Knossos, a subterranean dance unfolded, where the Minotaur's prison mirrored the intricate drainage systems of Minoan ingenuity.
As the Bronze Age dawned, so did the principles of sanitation in the ancient Hellenic world. Clay pipes, unseen conduits, whispered the secrets of water supply and waste removal. The Classical and Hellenistic eras elevated these principles, birthing a legacy that transcends myth. The echoes of Knossos reverberate in the labyrinths of today, not of stone, but of sustainable design.
In our modern odyssey, Federation Square stands as a testament to the fusion of myth and environmental commitment. Atelier Ten, armed with the torch of innovation, faced the design challenge of a glazed atrium, a potential furnace under the Australian sun. In response, they summoned the spirit of Daedalus and birthed the largest thermal labyrinth in the world. A subterranean sorcery, this thermal battery harnesses the cool embrace of the night to temper the heat of summer days, all without the need for mechanical cooling.
The architect's warning, etched in the ancient stones, speaks through these modern labyrinths. It beckons us to unravel the intricate dance of natural processes, to seek sustainability in the language of the architect. As cogeneration plants and absorption chillers stand sentinel, we learn from the timeless lessons of the past. The classical heritage of architecture, a repository of untapped wisdom, whispers of a sustainable future, where myth and environmental stewardship intertwine like the threads of Ariadne's spindle.

How BIM Modeling can help with Fire Installation?
In a world where safety takes precedence, harnessing the power of Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a game-changer for fire installation processes. Our latest blog explores the synergy between BIM modeling and fire safety, shedding light on the innovative solutions that arise when technology meets necessity. From precise spatial planning to streamlined collaboration among stakeholders, BIM emerges as the unsung hero, ensuring that every aspect of fire installation is not just efficient but also exceeds safety standards. Join us on a journey through the intricate web of BIM, where fire safety becomes a harmonious dance of precision and reliability.

One of the first 3D-printed detached houses in #Germany is currently being built in #Beckum. The team of @Mense_Korte_Architekten managed to construct a two-storey building with 160 square metres of living space. The first level has an open floor plan including a living room, dining area, and a cosy fireplace in the middle. The second floor consists of three separate bedrooms (which might also be used as working space, for example). In addition, there are three bathrooms to accommodate several family members and guests. Since the whole building was made by a 3D printer, it took less than a year to complete the construction.

The Metropolitan Life Tower in #MadisonSquare was the tallest building in the world from 1909 to 1913 – before being surpassed by the #Woolworth – and had the highest elevators in the world. The highest elevator traveled 586 feet from the basement to the top of the tower at a speed of 600 feet per minute, the maximum permitted by the Department of Buildings in 1910. As seen in the image above, the heavy elevator motors were installed in the tight space at the tip of the tower above the elevators. #metlifetower #madisonsquarepark #skyscraper #architecture #archilovers #structuralengineering #otiselevators #buildingtechnology #architecturehistory #nomad #urbanism #nycurbanism (at Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower)
