Check this out on @Dezeen - a very clever researcher: Tavs Jorgensen has designed these Cob bricks. The world needs more of this - when can we get our hands on them! 👏 Link to the article in the comments. #SustainableArchitecture #InnovativeMaterials #EcoDesign #Collaboration #GreenBuilding

Last Thursday, we had the pleasure of hosting Mariusz Hermansdorfer, Head of Computational Design at Henning Larsen, as part of our ongoing Sustainability Academy initiatives. At Cofinimmo, our Sustainability Academy is dedicated to training our staff, raising awareness, and emphasizing the importance of sustainability in all our operations. We are committed to sharing best practices from a wide range of industry leaders to enhance our efforts in creating sustainable and human-centered spaces. Henning Larsen, a Danish architectural firm founded in 1959, is a prime example of such industry leadership. The company uses cutting-edge technology and design strategies to create spaces that enhance well-being, foster community, and address the challenges of a rapidly changing world. 👉 Learn more about Henning Larsen's inspiring projects: https://ow.ly/TTmy50UslZM #Cofinimmo #Sustainability #Innovation #SustainabilityAcademy #BestPractices #SustainableDesign #Architecture

🌱 Sustainability in Construction: Are We Doing Enough? 🏗️ Design is where construction begins, but are we really considering sustainability from day one? Despite the growing awareness of sustainable practices, there are still significant gaps in how we design our buildings and infrastructure. I’m delving into this topic to explore: How sustainable practices are being integrated in the design phase Key challenges faced by design teams The opportunities to make a positive impact What do you think are the biggest barriers to sustainable design?

How can we design for the unknown? Resilient design challenges us to think beyond immediate needs, crafting spaces that adapt to shifting technological, economic, or environmental demands. It’s a complex conversation, but one that architects are uniquely positioned to lead. Megan Valentine (Dougherty), KTGY’s Director of Sustainability, explores how resilient design is shaping the future of our communities: https://lnkd.in/gZ88ftF3 #ResilientDesign #Flexibility #Adaptability #ShapingCommunities #FutureOfDesign #KTGY

Here's my 2024 LinkedIn Rewind, by Coauthor.studio: I'm so happy to share that 2024 completely redefined what 'architecture' means to me—it's no longer just designing buildings, it's about shaping sustainable futures, one innovative concept at a time.🌏 This year was a transformative journey from traditional architectural design to global sustainability leadership. What started as a design competition became a profound exploration of how we can reimagine our built environment. Key Moments: • Winning the Arcadis GEC Philippines Architecture & Urbanism Retail Mall Concept Design Competition was more than a professional milestone. My submission, "Retelling PH Retail Culture: Integrating Urban Waterfront Revitalization into a Lifestyle Center Concept," was a love letter to sustainable urban development that reimagines how Filipino spaces can serve communities. • Speaking at the Ateneo Economics Association's KamalAEAn 2024 event allowed me to bridge architecture, economics, and sustainability. We dove deep into megaproject challenges, discussing adaptive reuse, sustainability considerations, and how the AEC industry can drive meaningful change. • My first year at Arcadis has been a masterclass in global sustainability - transforming from a traditional architect to a Global Sustainability Analyst who sees design as a tool for planetary healing.

My goal? To prove that sustainable design isn't just a concept—it's a powerful strategy for reimagining our world. Massive gratitude to the Arcadis team, especially our Shanghai office mentors, who've shown me that true innovation happens when we think beyond boundaries. #architecture #sustainability #Arcadis #design #LinkedInRewind #Coauthor #2024wrapped -- Get your 2024 LinkedIn Rewind!
