While the demand for timber materials for building construction has been increasing for recent years, Maeda Corporation and Holzstr in collaboration have developed Timber-Steel Hybrid structural brace “Mokkou-Kumiko.” This structure binds a steel plate by exposed red pine wood unitizing it into a lattice system that takes advantage of both toughness of compression by wood, and its tension by steel making high seismic resistance.

Aria Residential Building / Pargar Architecture and Design Studio

July 1, 2023 Pilar Caballero 0

Aria residential building is located in the district of Farmanieh in the north of Tehran which is a green area with great views. The site access is easy due to the potential of being surrounded by 3 streets and having a neighborhood just on the east side. So, the design team decided to make two different access to the building, one for the parking at the south and the pedestrian access in the north. This placement provided the proper daylight for the building.

This is a project developed under the TOC (transit-oriented communities) standards.  TOC is a City of LA program created as a result of Measure JJJ passing in 2016.  It is intended to spur multi-family development near public transit by relaxing restrictions like required yards, parking, and density maximums or floor area in exchange for setting aside some of those units for lower-income households and tenants.

The Alpharetta Art Center repurposes a 10,000 sf public library, designed in 1986 by Atlanta architect Anthony Ames. A cornerstone of the City of Alpharetta’s “Garden and Arts District”, the structure and grounds feature improved pedestrian circulation through a park-like landscape, with sculptures, outdoor gathering and performance spaces, and new connections back to Alpharetta’s burgeoning downtown. Active studio production programs will relocate to the new center and will benefit from larger studios with controllable, natural light and a large gallery and black box theater to engage the community.

It is an intervention that does not alter or modify the distribution of the house but acts at certain points like acupuncture.
