Insulation is a hot topic. (Bad joke, I know😅) We need to insulate more to lower our future energy consumption. However, some insulation materials have a bigger negative impact now than the positive impact they can bring in the next years. 🌿 Therefore, we need also to insulate better! 😎 And good news : there a plenty of options! Double opportunity to deepdive in the world of bio-based insulation and understand the (technical and budget) differences between all existing options. Rejoice and Join!

Let's get back into good habits! Here's a brief summary of what happened this week at Bouygues Construction!

🎬 Paris 2024, Our solutions as Engineers and Citizens Working for sustainable development, Decarbonising urban mobility, Making it easier to access public transport, Reducing daily commuting and travel time, Improving access to poorly serviced territories, Boosting regional economic development, Developing innovative projects to promote energy transition, Renovating our historic heritage... These are just some of the challenges faced by engineering companies working to improve citizens' quality of life as cities and territories transform. Take a tour of Paris and discover a selection of projects in which our setec engineers have been involved.

Hoje no espaço de arquitetura , mais um projecto nosso no centro de Oeiras. Today in espaço de arquitetura , another project with our signature in Oeiras

🇵🇹Thank you LPP / Lisboa Para Pessoas for writing this article on my architectural proposal "Hydroscape Lisbon". 💧 "Lisbon is characterized by the Tagus, but in the western area, in particular, the relationship with the river is affected by the trainline and port infrastructure, that create a barrier between the city and the water. Ilia Voulgari, a young architect, suggests changing that with her Hydroscape Lisbon project . The idea involves reconstructing Lisbon's urban landscape with a 14 kilometers long park along the riverfront, enhancing proximity to the water and bringing this water beauty to the city. Ilia offers an extensive urban park with green spaces, public swimming pools and baths With Hydroscape Lisbon , the young architect sought to rethink the city's relationship with water , both on a territorial and human scale. The proposal includes a water treatment center that takes advantage of the water, coming from the valleys and sewage, and which, once treated, is used to feed the swimming pool, baths or even the park's irrigation system. This treatment process involves two phases: first, through mechanical processes and, second, through constructed wetlands, which are also part of the park. Basically, Ilia believes that water infrastructures can be integrated into the fabric of the city, making new public spaces flourish – creating a hydroscape (Hydro + landscape) or "water landscape". https://lnkd.in/eNiuN97W

The world of building is no exception to the polarization of debates, with the caricatured opposition between the thurifers of timber construction and the old guard of concretes not the least active on the invective market. The line that d'A has always held has not changed: there is no such thing as ecological architecture per se, there is good or bad architecture; there are no bad materials, there is good or bad use of materials. Today, to meet the challenge of decarbonization, the emphasis is essentially on the origin of materials. However, and this is the subject of our back-to-school issue, materials have less of an impact on the carbon footprint of buildings than might be thought. What's more, the normative framework and calculation methods for these balances are far from satisfactory. This should not discourage the use of bio-sourced materials, quite the contrary, because even if their impact is far from sufficient for our decarbonization objectives, we won't be able to achieve them without them. But if we want to convince people of the relevance of using them, their effectiveness must be measured at its true value.
