by Buildings & Construction Group
New words. Tales of natural disasters and resilience. An unbridled creative vision brought to life in concrete and a lesson in biophilia delivered by an expert. This issue of Architectural Products has a little something for everyone.
Eco-diplomacy. Ever heard of it? If you haven’t spent any time designing a U.S. Consulate abroad, this term may be unfamiliar. It refers to the way that the decisions about the site, landscape, and building itself create a conversation with the host country and forge friendships over being protective of resources. It’s just one of the insights shared by the team at Richärd Kennedy Architects as they discuss heart. ative work is expressed in our time as a union of technology and humanity.” their four U.S. Consulate projects currently in development around the globe. To begin your world-wide diplomatic tour, turn to page 28.
When Hurricane Ian barreled through Florida a few months ago, it provided yet another example of the destruction that can be caused by natural disasters, and, in the case of Babcock Ranch, the success that is possible when resilient design is taken seriously. Located 12 miles northeast of Fort Myers, this bastion of hurricane preparedness didn’t even lose power, even though wind gusts in the area exceeded 150 mph. Read more about the lessons learned by the tried-and-truly-resilient Babcock Ranch on page 52.
In Brooklyn, there is a new high-rise designed by Studio Gang, where the concrete façade seems to ripple with a wave-like motion. Beyond bringing “high design” to this borough with 11 Hoyt, the project pushes the boundary of what was considered possible to accomplish with precast concrete. Interested in how the architectural and engineering team designed the façade panels to support a live load? The magic is explained on page 61.
Biophilic design is certainly a hot topic in 2023, but Bethany Borel, well ap, and a senior associate at COOKFOX Architects embraced it long before it became a buzzword. In this issue’s Last Detail, Borel shares some lesser known, yet incredibly effective, strategies for bringing the benefit of biophilic design into the built environment. This expert-led lesson can be found on page 64.
Whether you like tales that transport you to another part of the world, success stories that showcase new possibilities in resilient design, projects that illustrate next-level creativity and engineering efforts, or expert-offered insights into some of the hottest topics of the day, this issue of Architectural Products has a little something for everyone.
Happy reading!
