 Two Resource Architects Join AIA StaffAs part of an ongoing effort to bolster its education and outreach on sustainability, and to foster a collaborative training and work environment to support young architects entering the profession, the American Institute of Architects (AIA) added two on-staff resource architects.Both positions will focus on expanding the knowledge base and availability of practical tools for architects, especially as green building design and construction practices evolve into new high performance green building codes that both recently licensed and veteran architects need to be able to navigate. "These two additions to our staff bring direct experience to areas that are strategic priorities for the AIA. It is our stated goal to achieve carbon neutrality in buildings by 2030 and to promote the economic, environmental and health benefits of sustainable design practices so that they become the norm within the profession," said AIA Executive Vice President / CEO, Christine McEntee. "And especially in this economic marketplace, it is incumbent on the AIA to do everything possible to ease the transition for architecture students as they begin their internships and then to becoming a licensed professional. This is an important step to have architects in leadership positions within the Institute who can help us execute important objectives for the profession." more Two Resource Architects Join AIA Staff design directory AIA > Architecture Organizations added by Levent OZLER |
 Suite Home: a Urban ResortA widespread hotel or particular pleasant retreat, the mobile home designed by Hangar Design Group can be conceived as a plug 'n play resort conceptually tied to the space they will be placed in: at the sea, in the mountains or a metropolitan tourist destination.Suite Home could be an attic in the city centre or a suite in a luxury hotel. Certainly, it follows a more urban type of living space, built around a large and elegant open space for relaxing and pleasant living outside the home. A fluid alternation of volumes and shades of colour characterize this module, emphasizing how the interior complements the exterior, which three large panoramic windows look out onto. The sole, spacious double bedroom combine the oriental flavour of Japanese tatami with a New York-style skyline in order to create a definitely metropolitan mood characterized by cultural contamination. The interior are characterized by a minimalist design, with a clearly defined room layout. The extremely essential modern-style furnishings and finishes contribute to creating a sense of continuity between different rooms. more Suite Home: a Urban Resort design directory Hangar Design Group > Multidisciplinary Design Companies added by Levent OZLER |
