In our recent Archinect Business Survey, architects shared their economic outlook, highlighting high construction costs as one of the top five factors contributing to the current economic slowdown in the architecture industry. "Construction costs are exceeding even the most pragmatic estimate," the owner of a large Seattle-based architecture firm shared in our survey. This insight underscores the significant impact that rising construction expenses have on the field, affecting projects and firms alike. Understanding these challenges is crucial as we navigate this period of economic uncertainty. How has work in your firm or sector been feeling recently?

Yesterday was the day of the first correction of my university work in the subject of "Civil Construction and Architecture Design" #CivilEngineering #Architecture

EA thought of the day... Economy denotes the proper management of materials and of site, as well as a thrifty balancing of cost and common sense in the construction of works. This will be observed if, in the first place, the architect does not demand things which cannot be found or make ready without great expense. — Vitruvius, The Ten Books on Architecture #EnterpriseArchitecture

Architecture Without Ego: An ego centered approach to design often results in conflict between clients, architects, builders, and many others. At Clockwork we believe in the pursuit of architecture without ego. https://lnkd.in/ewwB7Ss9

No matter how much evolution changes the way. Arts will always be arts.

And we must remove the blockages to that happening. Remove the stigma against 'used' building materials and establish a way to grade them so that they are accepted as suitable for current building codes. Figure out the logistics to move used building materials back into the building and construction ecosystem in the same way new materials are sourced. And finally, fix the flawed economic model that doesn't reflect the cost of wasting building materials in the price of new vs used building materials. There may be more, but those are 3 big ones that are holding back progress right now.

The importance of the feasibility study.

ALKEBULAN ARCHITECTURE | FEASABILITY STUDY According to you, what is the starting point of an architectural design? ⏳⏳Tic tac tic tac tic tac⌛️⌛️, wellllll, it is the site visit or site inspection and then comes the feasibility studies. Well, you might certainly be wondering what that's, 🥲 I got you. 🏨🏠An architectural feasibility study 📝aids property developers and investors in determining the feasibility of their intended development plans for a property. This incorporates an investigation into specific objectives that will influence the size, cost, and utilization of the development. At Alkebulan architecture & construction we cover this step too, call me now to talk about your next project. Call: 437-286-8933 https://lnkd.in/gYmHKAxn

Alongside our friends at the Royal Institute of British Architects we published a guide to inspire the industry into a more rigorous and structured approach to the design, construction and inspection of elements identified as potentially ‘safety critical’. Safety-critical elements are those which if they fail, are omitted, or incorrectly installed, carry an unacceptable risk of causing serious injury or fatality. This new guide steers people towards the prevention of failure.

There's a unique joy in helping young architects understand site context and topography through model making. It's an essential part of my teaching for first- and second-year students! #architecture #landscapearchitecture #academiclife
