GREENMYERS Eco Bothy has been awarded a top architectural award.

The community space won the Conservation/Regeneration award at a March event hosted by the Aberdeen Society of Architects.

Efforts at Greenmyres, which transformed the site by Huntly into a "welcoming, bright space" through extensive renovation and regeneration work, were led by Jill Andrews from the Huntly Development Trust.

Ms Andrews attended the event in person to accept the award.

Announcing the project's win on social media, a Huntly Development Trust spokesperson said: "We're delighted to say that our work at Greenmyres Eco Bothy has won this award."

Greenmyres' entry was submitted in December 2022 and award judges came face-to-face with the Bothy during a February 2023 site visit.

The judges offered the project glowing praise and congratulations for a "well deserved win".

One judge said: "My citation to the judging panel was: 'The exquisite nourishing of a deep-rooted regeneration programme the Architects kiss of life has transformed this ugly building into a handsome and healthy meeting place.'"

Along with work to the building itself, projects around the Eco Bothy also included enhancing biodiversity and increasing opportunities for improving mental and physical health.

As part of the development 6500 native trees have been planted and new wildlife ponds created.

The creation of access paths to both Gartly Moor and Huntly have increased rural accessibility and encouraged wellbeing activities.

Glenn Howells Architects re-brands as 'Howells' - Architect's Journal

COVINGTON, Ky. The Devou Good Foundation, a local philanthropic group, along with architecture firm Hub+Weber hosted an event Wednesday evening to promote what they would like to see for the 4th Street replacement bridge project.

The event was well-attended, with guests from the foundation, several public officials and community members.

Neither group is officially connected with the bridge project and the designs on display are not endorsed by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, the state agency responsible for administering the project.

Jake Ryle, a public information officer with the cabinet, said in a phone call with LINK nky that the agency would regard the event and the designs as a form of public comment.

The current bridge was built in the 1930s, and the cabinet has classified it as functionally obsolete, although heavy vehicle, pedestrian and bicycle traffic continue to travel over the bridge daily. Sidewalks on the bridge are small, and the narrow drive lanes and concrete barriers separating the road from the walkways make the bridge dangerous for cyclists.

Pedestrian and cyclist safety was on the minds of many at the event. Expanded pedestrian areas, more room for cycling and even a lane for an electric streetcar were all features of the proposed designs. The bridge would contain two lanes for cars.

Hub + Weber

Still images of the proposed design and videos showing its details adorned the office walls for people to view. Additionally, attendees could personally explore a 3D model of the design by donning special virtual reality headsets, which simulated what it would be like to walk around the bridge.

Our ask is that Covington and Newport work together with KYTC to elevate all of the best ideas that the citizens have kind of pushed forward through this process, said Matt Butler, who serves on the Devou Good Foundations Board of Directors.

Butler described the foundations actions to persuade the cabinet of its design choices.

Hub + Weber

Weve had survey feedback from about 1,600 people. Weve had an open house in Covington. We had one in Newport last year. We had a petition that about 600 people signed. We were able to customize it ourselves, and now were having this, Butler said. So were gonna continue to bring feedback forward. We share everything that we receive with Covington and Newport and KYTC. So as long as people are coming out and saying we want to be a part of the process, well continue to have events like this.

At the beginning of the planning process for the replacement project, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet contracted with Stantec, a private engineering and architecture consulting group, to examine the state of the bridge and make recommendations. Stantec delivered its report in Nov. 2016 with some preliminary recommended designs for bridge improvements, two of which are pictured below.

Stantec

Since then the cabinet has been soliciting public input on the bridge project from residents, businesses and other consulting groups through various means, notably through public comment sessions held at government sessions, which one event attendee characterized as inconveniently scheduled and inaccessible.

The projects budget is $65 million.

In a statement emailed to LINK nky, Ryle laid out the plans for the bridge.

After a procurement process that included team interviews and technical proposal reviews, KYTC selected the project design build team of PCL Construction, Inc., Stantec Consulting Services, Inc., and Rosales + Partners, Inc. to partner in the aesthetic and structural design and construction of the KY 8 bridge replacement, the statement read.

Ryle said on the phone that members of the public could continue to submit comments and suggestions about the project, which the design and aesthetic committee would consider.

He also noted that the projects progress on the cabinets website was not up to date and that the cabinet was working on making necessary changes. Visitors can still use the online contact form to leave comments.

The statement concludes by saying, KYTC is committed to building a bridge which will be safe for all users We hope to have a bridge type selection finalized by October 2023, and were looking forward to sharing the selected design with the public at that point.

One event attendee, Joe Mak, a student at the University of Cincinnati who bikes the bridge frequently when traveling between Newport, Covington and Cincinnati, admired Hub+Webers design and appreciated that it granted more room for cyclists.

Still, the design was, as he put it, extra, and he wondered aloud how much such a build would cost.

When asked how much the designs on display would cost to build, Matt Butler and Jim Guthrie, Hub+Webers Principal, responded in the same way: Were not bridge engineers.

Guthrie was hesitant to give a figure for fear of devaluing the proposal. Butler was more hopeful.

Weve tried to be mindful of cost, he said. The drive lanes are plate and girder, which is a basic bridge. Thats what KYTC is proposing as well. So, the underlying foundation is very similar to what theyre proposing.

He added that he hoped the proposed design would fall within the projects budget constraints.

If you would like to comment or give a suggestion on 4th Street bridge replacement project, contact Kentucky Transportation Cabinets Public Information Officers Jake Ryle and James Healtherly at jake.ryle@ky.gov or james.heatherly@ky.gov.

Oslo, Norway

Designs by Haptic Architects, Oslo Works, and BOGL landscape architects have been unveiled for the first time for the regeneration of Fornebu Brygge, a fjord-side location just outside central Oslo that will transform a disused parking lot into a global center for pioneering a sustainable ocean economy.

The scheme has been designed for developer Selvaag and technology investor, We Are Human, who collaborated on the initial concept, property development and detailed planning proposals through their dedicated development company, Fornebu Brygge AS.

The proposed plan facilitates a 45,000 m2 waterside scheme that features an iconic visitor attraction, the Fjordarium, a local, ethical aquarium, with underwater galleries focused on discovering the fjord, and its future.

This forms part of a wider knowledge hub of flexible workspaces for the marine industry and ocean-tech businesses, researchers and start-ups.

The proposed scheme also features a marine centre, water sports centre, restaurants and cafes and a new ferry terminal, set within a newly landscaped waterfront.

Overall, it would extend the publicly accessible shoreline by 1,000 metres, and create two new bays, including an 8,000 sqm public park.

The Fornebu Brygge redevelopment plan forms an important part of the urban development of the wider peninsula, which will include new residential neighbourhoods, office buildings, social and cultural functions, including the new school and cultural centre, Trnkvartalet, by Haptic Architects in partnership with PIR2.

An extension of Oslos Metro line connecting the neighbouring destinations on Fornebu to each other, and to Oslos city centre.

The design proposal for Fornebu Brygge features three key areas Fjord, Wharf, and Urban.

Each carries a distinctive architecture and scale, to give the overall development a varied silhouette.

The scheme would provide the region with a range of waterfront interactions and experiences, and an arena for innovation in marine life preservation, sustainable food and energy production, and green ocean transport solutions.

Fjord is envisaged as the educational centre of the scheme, and home to the Fjordarium which will provide a window directly into the fjord, giving way to an immersive visitor experience.

The Wharf, also on the shoreline, is designed as an innovation arena, with low-rise workshops and conference facilities, from one to three stories, along with a marina with floating saunas.

The Urban area, slightly set back from the water, consists of mid-rise workspace buildings ranging between one and nine floors, with publicly activated ground floor levels, interconnected by a fine mesh of public spaces and an accessible quayside promenade.

The Fjordarium building has been designed in close dialogue with the Norwegian Institute for Water Research (NIVA) to best preserve marine biodiversity, both underwater and along the shoreline.

The building is designed to withstand the fjords waves and currents and bring natural light into the spaces below water level.

Enabling unique exposure to the Oslofjord will focus on challenges andsolutions for cleaning the fjord, which has been heavily polluted as a result of agricultural waste.

"One day, after getting overwhelmed by the negativity of Hostile Architecture, I started a subreddit to collect all of the good things," Honor says. "I posted a picture of a picnic table designed with an overhang on one side, made to accommodate a person in a wheelchair. The table encourages everyone to sit together. It doesn't stop behaviors, it starts them."

"Slowly people found the sub from my posts as a mod on Hostile Architecture. I think that other people needed a chaser after seeing some of the awful, mean design in the world. I separated the posts into categories of thought and catalogued things that are accessible, social, promote sharing and coexisting with nature, provide shelter, food/water, rest, information, sanitation, or are about saving lives. I also included architecture for Pure Fun."

"It's been amazing seeing it grow and seeing others bring in Friendly Architecture from their world into the sub," Honor told Bored Panda. "It can be hard to find Friendly Architecture, but when I do, I feel so good about the world."

Nestled like a red question mark in the hills of rural Japan, the Kamikatsu Zero Waste Centre is a recycling facility like no other. A chunky frame of unprocessed cedar logs from the nearby forest supports a long snaking canopy, sheltering walls made of a patchwork quilt of 700 old windows and doors, reclaimed from buildings in the village. Inside, rows of shiitake mushroom crates donated by a local farm serve as shelving units, while the floors are covered with cast terrazzo made from broken pottery, waste floor tiles and bits of recycled glass, forming a polished nougat of trash.

It is a fitting form for what is something of a temple to recycling. In 2003, Kamikatsu became the first place in Japan to pass a zero-waste declaration, after the municipality was forced to close its polluting waste incinerator. Since then, the remote village (with a population of 1,500, one hours drive from the nearest city) has become an unlikely leader in the battle against landfill and incineration. Residents now sort their rubbish into 45 different categories separating white paper from newspapers, aluminium coated paper from cardboard tubes and bottles from their caps leading to a recycling rate of 80%, compared with Japans national average of 20%. Villagers typically visit the centre once or twice a week, which has been designed with public spaces and meeting rooms, making it a social hub for the dispersed town. It even has its own recycling-themed boutique hotel attached, called WHY which might well be your first response when someone suggests staying next to a trash depot.

The question mark shape can be perceived only from high up in the sky, says the buildings architect, Hiroshi Nakamura. But we instil our hope that this town questions our lifestyles anew on a global scale and that out-of-town visitors will start to question aspects of their lifestyles after returning home.

The project is one of many such poetic places featured in Building for Change, a new book about the architecture of creative reuse. Written by the architect and teacher Ruth Lang, it takes in a global sweep of recent projects that make the most of what is already there, whether breathing life into outmoded structures, creating new buildings from salvaged components or designing with eventual dismantling in mind. The timing couldnt be more urgent. As Lang notes, 80% of the buildings projected to exist in 2050, the year of the UNs net zero carbon emissions target, have already been built. The critical onus on architects and developers, therefore, is to retrofit, reuse and reimagine our existing building stock, making use of the embodied carbon that has already been expended, rather than contributing to escalating emissions with further demolition and new construction.

While the urgency of the issue has been occupying the industry for some time the Architects Journal leading the way with its RetroFirst campaign the topic recently made national headlines when Michael Gove, then communities secretary, ordered a public inquiry into the proposed demolition of the 1929 Marks & Spencer flagship store on Oxford Street. Whereas heritage conservation would once have been the primary reason to retain such a building, the conservation of the planet has now taken centre stage. Campaigners argue the development proposals would release 40,000 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere, whereas a low-carbon deep retrofit is eminently possible instead. They point to examples such as the former Debenhams in Manchester, a 1930s building which is being refurbished and extended. To put the scale of the emissions in context, Westminster city council is currently spending 13m to retrofit all of its buildings, to save 1,700 tonnes of carbon every year; the M&S demolition proposal alone would effectively undo 23 years of the councils carbon savings.

The retailers bosses might do well to thumb through Langs book for some inspiration, and see how creative reuse is not just crucial for the planet, but can be even more alluring than the promise of a shiny new-build. Along with office and retail refurbs, the projects include a rusting steel factory in Shanghai reborn as a striking exhibition centre, a water tower in Norfolk that was cleverly converted into a panoramic house in the clouds, and a childrens community centre in a converted warehouse, complete with a vertiginous new landscape that ripples its way around the building.

The strategies on show range from the ad-hoc to the forensically planned. One German architect, Arno Brandlhuber, invited friends to bash out holes in the concrete walls of a former underwear factory near Potsdam using a sledgehammer, to create the windows of his gritty new weekend home wherever they saw fit. In Barcelona, meanwhile, architects Flores & Prats spent three months meticulously cataloguing every single door frame, mosaic tile and wall moulding of a 1920s workers co-operative, creating an inventory of components to reuse in their conversion of the building into a theatre. The duo compare their process to altering secondhand clothes: You have to unstitch and so recognise the pattern used before, cut on one side to add on another, they write. We may have to sew some pockets, and so on, until the garment responds and identifies with the new user. It is an exercise, they add, that requires confidence and time until you get to feel it as your own.

The resulting Sala Beckett is a spellbinding place, encrusted with the traces of its previous lives, creating a series of richly layered spaces that would have been impossible to make from scratch. It brims with one of retrofits chief free gifts, which so many new buildings struggle to conjure: character. Over the years, the co-op had hosted shops, a cafe, cinema and gym, and echoes of these functions are kept on in a kind of bricolage of fragments.

The 44 doors and 35 windows retrieved from the project were carefully restored, repainted and relocated to different rooms, arranged in enlarged openings and in new combinations, as if choreographed in a dance around the new building, Lang writes. The architects term their approach situational architecture, allowing the space to surprise and guide its development, suggesting alternative uses and evolving into its new form. While other architects had proposed to demolish the building and start afresh, Flores & Prats saw the social value in retaining the structure, beyond the environmental benefits alone. You inherit it, Ricard Flores said in an interview, you use it because you like what you see and you think there is a treasure there. And not only as regards the material qualities. The social inheritance was as important as the physical inheritance.

Similar principles guide the approach of French couple Lacaton & Vassal, the Pritzker prize-winning architects who work under the rallying cry: Never demolish, never remove or replace, always add, transform, and reuse! Their rehabilitation of postwar housing blocks in Paris and Bordeaux has set a new bar for low-energy retrofit, improving the thermal performance of the buildings while, crucially, allowing the existing residents to live there while the works are carried out.

From social housing to art centres, the pair always begin with a fastidious assessment of the existing fabric, asking how it could be improved with the bare minimum of resources. In the early 00s, when the French state was allocating 167,000 for the demolition and rebuilding of each apartment, they argued that it was possible to redesign, expand and upgrade three flats of the same size for that amount. They proved it, working with Frdric Druot to transform the 1960s Tour Bois-le-Prtre, by removing the old precast concrete cladding and wrapping the flats in a three-metre-deep layer of winter gardens, providing additional amenity space and a thermal buffer to the living spaces. As Anne Lacaton puts it: Demolishing is a decision of easiness and short-term. It is a waste of many things a waste of energy, a waste of material and a waste of history. Moreover, it has a very negative social impact. For us, it is an act of violence.

It is a light-touch philosophy that can also be found in the work of London studio DK-CM, particularly in their masterplan for Harrow Arts Centre, set in a Victorian school campus, which features in the book. Rather than decant the existing uses into temporary structures at vast expense, to enable the creation of new arts facilities, the architects carefully reorchestrated the site and developed a phased approach over six years. Architectural decisions were made according to how they would reduce overheads and minimise the environmental impact of construction and future maintenance, with a programme of strategic repairs and lightweight insertions a design process with more in common with surgery than construction, says Lang.

The momentum for retention and reuse is catching on. No longer perceived as the last resort of economic necessity or a fringe eco-pursuit, refurbishment has become the desirable choice for progressive clients. This month, the London School of Economics unveiled the winner of its latest international competition, for a 120m last set piece addition to its campus. After a recent run of building gargantuan brick, glass, steel and concrete behemoths, designed by a roster of star architects, the LSE appointed David Chipperfield precisely because he proposed to keep as much of the sites existing 1902 building as possible. Retention should be seen not as an obligation, said Chipperfield, but as a commitment to a more resourceful and responsible approach to our future, based on intelligent use of existing material and cultural capital. Will M&S take note, and reconsider its carbon-hungry plans?

Demolition is an act of violence: the architects reworking buildings instead of tearing them down - The Guardian

Aug. 18Warren C. Heylman was sure of his path in life, even as a kid growing up near Cliff Park's peak on the South Hill.

"I just wanted to draw," Heylman told The Spokesman-Review in 2016. "Ever since I was a little boy, that's all I wanted to do."

From that pencil came the designs for iconic structures of Spokane's skyline. The Parkade parking structure, the Riverfalls Tower on downtown's west end and the Burlington Northern rail bridge over Hangman Creek all owe their design to Heylman.

Heylman, a bow tie-wearing architect who went from designing Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired homes on the South Hill to massive public projects and affordable housing during the boom years of Spokane architecture, died Aug. 10. He was 98.

His career in Spokane coincided with a group of new, young architects that arrived in the post-World War II years and reshaped the look of the city, said Aaron Bragg, a copywriter who helped curate a Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture exhibit on the city's architecture during that time.

"There's a handful of architects who you can say truly shaped the city's landscape," Bragg said. "You can't imagine it without Warren Heylman's stamp on it."

Born Sept. 23, 1923, Heylman was the son of Jane and Harry Heylman. His father owned a Packard dealership he'd started after returning from World War I.

Warren Heylman went on to serve in World War II, and again in the Korean War, in the U.S. Navy after graduating from Lewis and Clark High School, where he ran track. That love of running lasted all his life and prompted him to compete in 40 consecutive Bloomsday races, said his daughter, Ann Martin.

"He ran the very first, up until he was 90 years old," Martin said. "He was very proud of that."

Always drawing plans, Heylman incorporated the features of the ships he was stationed on in the Navy into the design for the home he built for himself and his family in western Spokane, with windows intended to mimic portholes.

He opened his own one-man firm in 1952, placing ads in the newspaper that got him work designing homes. His early work showed the influence of Wright, the prolific American architect who pioneered open floor plans and efficient building methods, said Glenn Davis, a local architect and architectural historian who worked with Heylman briefly in the early 1990s.

"He was a very cost-conscious architect," Davis said. "Architects like Warren, and some of his fellow architects from that period, I think they were dealing with how to come up with aesthetics that dealt with lower construction costs, and a different attitude toward labor."

Some of those early homes still stand; others have been swept away by development and progress. One of Davis' favorites of Heylman's early homes was one built for the architect's childhood friend, John G.F. Hieber, in 1953. It was bought by a developer in 2012 who later demolished the house after trying to renovate it.

Among Heylman's first public projects were the Liberty Lake Golf Course clubhouse built in 1959, with its signature sloping roof. That design feature would also find its way into the plans for the Spokane International Airport, a collaboration with fellow architect William H. Trogdon.

"I think the plan does something important," Heylman told the Spokane Daily Chronicle in May 1965. "It brings passengers closer to the airplanes."

Later, architect Bob Wills who worked for Heylman for 19 years during a period that included work for Expo '74 would be tasked with updating that airport, expanding ticketing and baggage areas as travelers continued to flock to the Inland Northwest.

"We simply replicated the original design," Wills said of those expansions. "You couldn't do any better than that."

The airport opened in 1965. Within two years, Heylman saw perhaps his most iconic structure, the downtown Parkade parking garage, built to accommodate the legion of shoppers and downtown commuters Spokane boosters hoped to attract.

Heylman said he visited parking structures in 20 cities before designing the Parkade, with its signature sign proclaiming open stalls 10 stories above Spokane's downtown. His partner in the project was Hieber, who was doing his own work renovating the downtown Bennett Block.

"It also will be a beacon for motorists," Heylman said of the central tower in the Parkade, upon its opening in March 1967, "and serve as a landmark for drivers seeking parking space."

Heylman later opened an office on the ground floor of the Parkade, where he practiced architecture along with his daughter, Martin, for 35 years. The family also ran together downtown, in Bloomsdays and during work days.

Dennis Hession, the former mayor of Spokane, met Heylman through Martin.

"He was very much a visible figure," Hession said. "You would run into him, downtown. He was always around."

During the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, Heylman continued to receive recognition for his work from the American Institute of Architects, and was elected president of the Spokane chapter of the group in 1982.

Hession said Heylman was a man driven by principles, and that could be seen in his design work especially the lukewarm reception to the offices of what was then the Spokane County Health District, today the Spokane Regional Health District.

Heylman, in 2016, defended the work as "one of the best things I've done." But others disagreed.

Wills was part of the original drafting team that put together plans for the four-story, $5 million (in 1976 dollars) building. He built a scale model of the building in an effort, he said, to convince Heylman to reconsider the design. They even drove to Browne's Addition and put the model on the hood of a car, to simulate what the finished product would look like on the north bank of the Spokane River, Wills said.

"It totally backfired," Wills said.

Heylman stuck to his design, and in the ensuing years several regional architects, both identified and anonymous, publicly criticized the building's design.

"People have a reaction to his work, even if they don't know who did it," Bragg said. "You can't not have a reaction to a Heylman design."

"It's part of his strong personality, but it's also about conviction, the confidence in yourself as a designer," Hession said.

That confidence led Heylman to offer his advice, even when unsolicited. In the early 1970s, he wrote to Burlington Northern Railroad to criticize its plans for a rail bridge over Hangman Creek to replace their downtown line displaced by the world's fair. Heylman's simpler design was eventually built.

Heylman was also responsible for more than 1,000 units of affordable housing for the elderly throughout the region. His work includes the O'Malley Apartments near Gonzaga University.

He spent the final years of his life at Riverfalls, the modern apartment tower he designed overlooking Peaceful Valley that opened in 1973. He lived there with his wife, Kathryn, whom he called "Zeek." Kathryn Heylman died in March.

"My dad's world was centered on my mom," Martin said, adding that Kathryn Heylman sewed all his bow ties.

In November, Riverfalls became the first of Heylman's properties in Spokane to be listed on the Spokane Register of Historic Places. Buildings are not generally considered for inclusion on the list until they're at least 50 years old, said Megan Duvall, historic preservation officer for the city and county.

"I anticipate that we will see other Heylman buildings considered for the Register in the future," Duvall wrote in an email.

Martin's favorite building of her father's also has the distinction of being on the national register of historic places. It's another of his early works, the Colfax branch of the Whitman County Library, finished in 1960.

"It stands today as originally designed in the late '50s and early '60s," Martin said. "Prime example of Warren Heylman."

The family is planning a private graveside service. A celebration of life this fall has not been planned.

Expectations of future workloads by architects working in the private housing sector hit their lowest point in more than two years last month as soaring inflation and rising mortgage interest costs take their toll on the market.

Architects now expect no growth in orders for private residential projects over the next three months, according to RIBAs latest Future Trends survey.

Respondents returned an index figure of zero for expectations of future workloads in the sector in July, down five points from Junes survey. Any figure above zero signifies that architects expect workloads to increase over the next three months.

The index for private housing, which in recent years has consistently been the best performing sector covered by the survey, had been in positive territory since June 2020 in the middle of the first covid lockdown.

It comes following the weakest growth in house prices for a year, with values rising by just 0.1% in July. Lloyds, the UKs biggest mortgage lender, forecast in June that house prices will grow just 1.8% this year and fall by 1.4% in 2023.

Burgeoning concerns about the future of the UK economy are now weighing down on clients and architects alike, RIBA said.

Architects, even those with a full order book now, are increasingly concerned about workloads in three to six months.

Inflation continues to push up construction costs, reduce the available funds for client investment, and so limit potential new commissions.

Optimism about workloads for public sector projects also slumped again in Julys survey, dropping by five index points to -6, while the outlook for the community sector fell by two points to -8.

The commercial sector, which has typically had low workload expectations in recent years, edged up by three points to +1.

But optimism in London and the South of England, the largest markets for commercial schemes, fell last month with workload expectations across all sectors in the capital slipping by four points to -6 and by 7 points in the South of England to -3.

The picture was brighter in other regions, with the Midlands and East Anglia returning a figure of +10, the North of England +13 and Wales and the West +15.
