After a collapsing construction market significantly hampered revenue, a recovery in nonresidential and residential building construction will support growth. For these reasons, industry research firm IBISWorld has updated a report on the Architects industry in its growing industry report collection.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 01, 2013

Nevertheless, the construction market has recently shown signs of recovery. As a result, Architects industry revenue is expected to increase 4.7% in 2013, with demand from nonresidential construction anticipated to rise 6.0%. In addition, profit margins are expected to increase in 2013, up from a postrecession low in 2010. However, profit margins remain below the level achieved in 2008. To maintain margins, many large firms have taken cost-cutting measures, such as laying off workers. Consequently, the number of industry employees has fallen at an average 2.3% per year during the past five years. This industry is characterized by many small-scale consultants, often individual proprietors and partners, that operate in narrow geographic markets, adds Sherman. The fragmented nature of this industry is also evident when comparing the size of enterprises that have employees. The industry's low level of concentration means that no firm holds a dominant position in the market. In 2013, IBISWorld expects the number of enterprises in the industry to expand as the broader economy shows signs of a sustained recovery. During the next five years, industry concentration is not expected to increase. While more clients are expected to use larger firms that can provide a wide array of services, the number of operators is expected to counteract growth in large companies as the construction market improves.

During the next five years, industry operators will continue to benefit from improvements in the downstream construction markets. The volume of construction projects will increase as access to credit becomes more readily available for clients. Demand from nonresidential and residential construction is forecast to rise; similarly, industry revenue is forecast to increase in the five years to 2018. Industry operators will look to offer more value-added and environmentally friendly services as the level of competition grows from one-stop, full-service building and engineering firms.

Some in the West get the impression that the Middle East offers women little in the way of equal opportunities but, in the United Arab Emirates, female architects are helping design and build their own cities.

In the past decade, the Dubai skyline has been utterly transformed, with steel and glass towers emerging out of the desert at a striking rate.

And the biggest of them all - the Burj Khalifa - puts Dubai on the world map, as the city with the tallest building in the world, its tip piercing the clouds and forcing the eye ever upwards.

It is this huge building boom which partly explains why a surprisingly disproportionate number of women are choosing to study architecture. Pallavi Dean is a startling figure on a building site - eight and a half months pregnant, wearing a shiny, pink, hard hat.

When I joined her on the site, she and I were the only women there, and I looked on in admiration as she negotiated with engineers and designers, plans in her hand and handing out instructions. Educated in the United Arab Emirates, Pallavi is in no doubt that there is a connection between the building boom and the rising number of young women studying architecture.

"The ratio is 80% women and 20% men, yet that figure is the other way around in the workforce. I've always wondered why."

In addition to working and raising a family, Pallavi Dean lectures at the American University at Sharjah, where she hopes she presents the young women with a solid role model of combining the profession with family.

The university is only 15 years old. Before the huge marble and stone campus sprang up - with its vast courtyards and a nod to Arab aesthetic in the arched windows and geometric mosaics - it was largely sand dunes.

Sitting talking to three women and two men in their final year of their five-year course, I was struck by their innate confidence. All three women - Fatima al-Zaabi, Fatma Abdulla Hussain, and Ruba al-Araji - have a determination and energy to succeed.

THEIR THOUGHTS: Part of the So Create a Difference exhibition

So Create a Difference Exibition, in Royal Victoria Place.

There was a non-stop flow of visitors to the So Create A Difference public drop-in day.

As some points it was so crowded it was difficult to see the displays in the pop-up exhibition, which was held in an empty shop in the Royal Victoria Place shopping centre.

Washington, Feb 1 (ANI): Industrial partners including renowned architects Foster + Partners have joined with ESA to test the feasibility of using 3D printing to build a lunar base from local materials.

"Terrestrial 3D printing technology has produced entire structures. Our industrial team investigated if it could similarly be employed to build a lunar habitat," said Laurent Pambaguian, heading the project for ESA.

Foster + Partners devised a weight-bearing 'catenary' dome design with a cellular structured wall to shield against micrometeoroids and space radiation, incorporating a pressurised inflatable to shelter astronauts.

A hollow closed-cell structure - reminiscent of bird bones - provides a good combination of strength and weight.

The base's design was guided in turn by the properties of 3D-printed lunar soil, with a 1.5 tonne building block produced as a demonstration.

"3D printing offers a potential means of facilitating lunar settlement with reduced logistics from Earth," added Scott Hovland of ESA's human spaceflight team.

"The new possibilities this work opens up can then be considered by international space agencies as part of the current development of a common exploration strategy," he added.

The UK's Monolite supplied the D-Shape printer, with a mobile printing array of nozzles on a 6 m frame to spray a binding solution onto a sand-like building material.

3D 'printouts' are built up layer by layer - the company more typically uses its printer to create sculptures and is working on artificial coral reefs to help preserve beaches from energetic sea waves.

"First, we needed to mix the simulated lunar material with magnesium oxide. This turns it into 'paper' we can print with," explained Monolite founder Enrico Dini.
