We can make virtually anything out of woven wire mesh – it’s what we do! You’d be surprised looking around you just how many everyday objects and buildings use wire mesh. For example did you know that modern architecture increasingly relies on wire mesh for frameworks and installations? Read on to find out more and next time you’re out and about see how much mesh you see (or don’t because it’s often cleverly hidden!)… https://lnkd.in/eDkJkDfi #wovenwiremesh #wiremesh #meshscreens #customweldmesh

🌟 Discover How to Model a Stunning Glass Dome in Grasshopper! 🌟 In this video, I dive into the modeling process for a geodesic glass dome, demonstrating how to create equal triangular panels with precision and simplicity.

One of the most exciting challenges in adaptive facade design is incorporating modular patterns while harmonizing aesthetic appeal with mechanical functionality. In this project, a dynamic mechanism inspired by scissor-like triangular modules was designed and fabricated. The robotic simulation and control were carried out using Rhino and Grasshopper, pushing the boundaries of digital design and intelligent architecture. #AdaptiveFacade #ModularDesign #DigitalFabrication #Rhino3D #Grasshopper #ParametricDesign #ArchitecturalInnovation

The power of visualisation…. When it comes to getting the green light for your commercial building project, a picture is worth more than a thousand words—especially if it's a detailed 3D drawing. This 3D image helped to convince the planning team at Dacorum that the elevations would fit perfectly within the street scene when they had hinted they were unsure and may not grant permission. Presenting a polished, professional image underscores your commitment and seriousness about the project. So, before you hit 'submit' on that planning application, consider the power of presenting your drawings in a professional manor. It's more than just a picture—it's your project's best advocate. #PlanningPermission #BuildingApproval #CGI #Architecture #UrbanPlanning #ConstructionGoals #Renderings #VisualizeYourDream

Laser scanning is a game-changer for retrofitting projects! On a personal project to retrofit a 1980s house in Milton, Apostolos is using the Archangel 3D laser scanner to precisely map out existing structures and services, making it easier to plan, quantify, and seamlessly fit new elements. When working with existing buildings, it's really important to find out as much as you can about them so that you can make informed design decisions. With our own in-house laser scanner, we’re able to directly import scans into our drawings, streamlining the entire process from vision to design. The house retrofit is designed and modelled using the Passive House Planning Package (PHPP), with the aim to get certification as an EnerPHit – the Passive House Certificate for retrofits. At Archangel Architects Ltd, we’re passionate about developing our technical skills and sustainable design approaches, so we can bring new expertise to every client project. We look forward to sharing with you what we learn here. Passivhaus Trust Passive House Institute #Retrofit #EnerPHit #PassivhausDesigner #Cambridge

🚀🌞Continuing from the previous post about the Parametric facade design, we’ve optimized the dimensions of the triangulated fins to reduce glare and maximize views using advanced simulations and computational design. 🌞 Our studies ensured the Daylight Glare Probability (DGP) stays below 30%, preventing perceptible glare. Parametric modeling expedited our process and reduced material wastage. Curious about how we use data-driven design for superior results? Let's chat about your next project!

🔷𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐞𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐁𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬: 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐬 A flat roof alone can’t support much weight. But by bending it into an arch, it gains strength and can hold much more load! Add triangular folds to that arch, and the strength multiplies even further. This is the reason so many iconic structures around the world rely on these shapes. Ingenious design meets powerful function! 🎥 Video rights belong to the respective owner. #Engineering #Architecture #StructuralDesign #Innovation
