21 Rules for a Successful Life in Architecture 21 Rules for a Successful Life in Architecture Originally published by Entrepreneur Architect, Associate Professor at Louisiana Tech Kevin J Singh gives his 21-point rundown of how to have a successful and happy life as an architect. The list gives some pointers that will certainly help young students and graduates, but may well be useful to some of the not-so-young practitioners who need to refocus on what's important. The following is a compilation of my professional practice lecture on the last day of class. Instead of recapping the course or giving a final exam, I share with my students a presentation titled Advice as You Finish School and Start to Practice.
Off grid Off-grid Material collection for architectural purposes Materials: Plastic and aluminium sheets Off-grid materials will bring a temporary experience. Une étagère design et un peu rétro Ushanki Ushanki c’est le nom qu’a choisi le bureau de design Ukrainien decorkuznetsov (heureusement que je n’ai pas à le prononcer). Dans un style rétro-design il serait une réinterprétation des bonnet soviétique… Pas évident au premier regard. Cette collection cache une lampe qui éclaire depuis le haut, de quoi mettre en valeur un de vos objets préférés et créer un éclairage pas trop agressif, en particulier si on l’utilise comme table de chevet. A part ce petit gadget ce qui me plait dans ce meuble c’est son côté vintage.

How Do You Know if BIM is Worth The Investment For Your Firm? How Do You Know if BIM is Worth The Investment For Your Firm? While BIM is increasingly becoming a necessity in architecture, it is still difficult to quantify the benefits it is bringing to the industry. Currently, there is no industry-standard method for calculating BIM’s Return on Investment (ROI) and, due to the complexities of the calculation, many firms have not adopted any consistent measurement practices to determine the monetary benefit that the technology has brought to their practice. The difficulty centers upon the fact that traditional analysis of ROI is unable to represent intangible factors that are important to a construction project such as avoided costs or improved safety.
Une extension en bois graphique et lumineuse Par ailleurs, l’architecte a opté pour une toiture à deux pentes dite «à redents» afin d’apporter un maximum de lumière dans la nouvelle construction. La première très inclinée (presque à la verticale) pour capter la lumière est en verre; tandis que la seconde, inclinée de façon traditionnelle (soit une pente à 45 %) est revêtue de zinc. Ce système de toiture était utilisé dans les constructions industrielles pour les mêmes raisons. En finition, des feuilles de zinc ont été posées sur les voliges avec des joints debout. Autre facteur important pour que les pièces soient lumineuses : la multiplication des façades vitrées composées de fenêtres de différents formats (châssis fixes, portesfenêtres, châssis à soufflet…), ce qui permet également de multiplier les points de vue sur l’extérieur.
