ShamsArd, a Palestinian architecture firm, uses packed earth to construct its environmentally friendly homes.

The city of Jericho sits in the hot, flat Jordan Valley down the hill from Jerusalem. Jericho has bragging rights as one of the oldest towns on Earth. But one of its newest homes looks like it might have arrived from outer space.

Ahmad Daoud hired a firm of young Palestinian architects to build this house. Like Jericho's original homes, it is built of dirt. This one has a contemporary twist, though: It's constructed with earth compacted in bags that are then stacked and plastered over.

Daoud loves the domed rooms, the nod to the past and the environmental advantages.

"It's an environmentally friendly house," he says. "I can tear it down and nothing will remain. In the summer, I don't need air conditioning, and in the winter, I don't need heat."

Ahmad Daoud's neighbors in Jericho are skeptical of his home, with its domed ceilings and walls packed with earth.

Amid the dust, palms and the square, concrete houses of Jericho, Daoud's home stands out. Daoud says everybody has something to say about it.

"A lot of neighbors say it's nice to look at but not to live in," he says.

Akron, Ohio (PRWEB) July 02, 2014

Scott Radcliff, AIA, ACHA, NCARB, LEED AP, project architect for Hasenstab Architects, has received the American College of Healthcare Architects (ACHA) Board Certification in healthcare architecture. This certification is earned by architects specializing in healthcare design.

Radcliff, who has been with Hasenstab Architects since 2009, has more than 12 years of healthcare design experience specializing in simulation design, pediatric and neonatal environments, and facility planning. ACHA certification has always been a professional goal of his, Radcliff said.

Throughout my career, Ive had the privilege to work alongside multiple members of the ACHA, Radcliff said. Through my interactions with each of them and their mentoring, I developed a great respect for their high level of expertise and passion for healthcare design. I consider it an honor to join them in their pursuit to improve healthcare environments.

Radcliff has served as project architect for a variety of healthcare projects including Ashland University College of Nursing Simulation Design Center and the Ohio Department of Mental Health & Addiction Services Northcoast Behavioral Healthcare Campus Expansion. Most recently, Radcliff worked on the $180 million Critical Care Tower for Akron Childrens Hospital.

My experiences working on projects at Akron Childrens have allowed me to refine my planning, design, detailing, and operational understanding of these types of facilities, Radcliff said. As both a parent and a healthcare architect, I empathize with the customers and bring a unique perspective to the design of neonatal and pediatric spaces.

The ACHA provides Board Certification for architects who practice as healthcare specialists. In order to become ACHA certified, candidates must provide extensive documentation outlining their experience, multiple peer and client references, as well as pass a computer-based examination to demonstrate their skills and knowledge level.

POPOV Bass Architects has taken out the award for the best new house in NSW with a home in Griffith.

Alex Popov and Brian Bass' design, which was built by Forlico Builders, won the state's annual Wilkinson Award.

Judge and jury chair Virginia Kerridge said the planning for the house was calm and rational.

"The overriding sense within is of tranquility," she said.

Mr Popov and Mr Bass needed to build a home that could accommodate visiting children and grandchildren, along with the owners' art collection on a rural farm on the south eastern fringe of the city.

There were challenges in coming up with the perfect design.

"This was a tough, hard environment," Mr Bass said.

The 11.3 hectare site was flood-zoned and almost dead flat on a red soil plain.
