This month we are spotlighting how Metal Composite Material (MCM) helps buildings achieve LEED certification. Learn more in our CE Course > https://ow.ly/Vkj950UuxCB MCM Alliance Members and Architects involved with these projects (in order): ALPOLIC® Materials - Americas and SNOHETTA ARCHITECTURE DESIGN PLA; Arconic and KPMB Architects: 3A Composites and R2L:Architects, PLLC: 3A Composites and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM); CEI Materials and Stantec; 3A Composites and ADD Inc, now Stantec

Infrastructure specialists, architects, engineers and public stakeholders, I humbly think this is the way forward to reduce our activities' environmental impact : - footbridges made of timber (carbon storage), - footbridges made of prestressed structural stone (yes you need to bring the material on site with quite a few trucks but apart from that - that sounds almost low-tech to me) - footbridges made of reused steel profiles (probably the most ambitious solution due to the uncertainty of the base material, but also, maybe, the most efficient !) I think we all should be inspired by these daring propositions, and I am looking forward to seeing the rest of the proposed designs as they unveil ! for me, they all stand out at great and good looking examples of the future of infrastructure!

Did you know #MCM panels align with #LEED sustainability principles by improving energy efficiency, minimizing environmental impact, and supporting innovative design? Their versatility makes them an excellent choice for projects aiming to achieve LEED certification while maintaining high aesthetic and performance standards as seen in the Residence Inn Marriot in Boston.

Design for disassembly and the reuse of structural elements are two effective strategies for reducing embodied carbon when designing large sports facilities. Stadium 974 in Doha – designed by #sbp and Fenwick Iribarren Architects – is the first completed large-scale stadium project to be successfully designed for disassembly. Find out more about the circular economy principles that went into the design and the lessons learned from the process in the latest issue of STRUCTURE Magazine!

 #FEDEMACNews (09.01.2025) - Action Required: Collaborating with Architects to Enhance Moving Efficiency The Belgian moving association, BKV - CBD, in collaboration with the Belgian Professional Union of Architects (UPA-BUA), is working towards integrating moving considerations into architectural designs. This partnership focuses on improving building accessibility, adequate loading zones, and the incorporation of appropriate moving aids like goods elevators and cranes.
