Smart Urban Spaces Optimising Design for Comfort, Safety and Economic Vitality
Smart Urban Spaces Optimising design for comfort, safety and economic vitality Urban planners often ponder over the ways in which people will move through their designs, interact with the environment and with each other, and how best to utilise the spaces provided. Buro Happold’s Smart Space team have proven track record in optimising design of urban spaces and masterplans to enhance Capacity expansion of Makkah during Hajj visitor experience. We understand the benefits obtained from efficient layouts, intuitive wayfinding, and effective operational management. Madinah masterplan, optimising building massing to maximise shading comfort Our consultants enable a better understanding of the impacts of designs. Through the forecasting of movement and activity patterns, tailored to the specific use, our pedestrian flow modelling informs design and management in order to optimise the use of urban spaces and enhance user experience. The resulting designs are therefore extensively tested with a minimised risk of undesirable and/or unsafe congestion. We help clients better understand existing activity patterns Cardiff city centre masterplan and/or visitor preferences. With a holistic look at pedestrian and Footfall analysis of St Giles Circus, London vehicular desire lines, we can formulate a strategy to encourage footfall through the new developments. Accurate modelling provides a basis on which to assess potential risks and implement counter measures to negative factors such as poor access, fear of crime, inadequate parking facilities and lack of signage. In addition, it allows us to optimise the placement of activities – for example, placing retail in areas where the most footfall is expected; identifying appropriate spaces to locate other social activities; etc. -

Where Do You Experience Both the Journey and the Destination?
WHERE DO YOU EXPERIENCE BOTH THE JOURNEY AND THE DESTINATION? ANAHEIM REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION INTERMODAL CENTER SMARTER FASTER I NTEGRATED SOLUTIONS FOR CIVIC ARCHITECTURE VISION To catalyze transit-oriented growth, Orange County envisioned a world-class gateway linking regional transportation systems, providing convenient access to the area’s renowned destinations, and offering distinctive restaurants, shops and events. The iconic, LEED Platinum landmark embodies the region’s commitment to a vital, sustainable future. CHALLENGE As a modern multi-modal transportation hub designed to connect eight existing public and private transportation systems as well as future streetcar and high-speed rail lines, ARTIC involved extensive coordination of complex infrastructure. When combined with aggressive sustainability targets— including 30% reduction of both energy and water use—and the desire for a landmark design, the project demanded a fully integrated design solution to achieve project goals within budget tolerances. SOLUTION Taking a holistic design approach using BIM and advanced computational design and analysis tools allowed the design team to propose a complex catenary-shaped enclosure employing lightweight ETFE panels. In addition to optimizing the design for energy performance and constructability, the models facilitated cost estimating, construction sequencing, just-in-time ordering, and digital fabrication. VALUE The integrated solution leveraged the ETFE enclosure to address multiple goals. The translucent and insulating panels with varied frit patterns maximized daylight while reducing solar heat gain. Equally important, at just one-tenth the weight of glass, these lightweight panels required a less costly steel support structure. The modeling also enabled strategies for natural ventilation and water recycling that will reduce resource consumption and operating costs over time. -
Design Checks for Electrical Services
A BSRIA Guide www.bsria.co.uk Design Checks for Electrical Services A quality control framework for electrical engineers By Kevin Pennycook Supported by BG 3/2006 Design considerations Design issues Calculations Systems and equipment PREFACE Donald Leeper OBE The publication of Design Checks for Electrical Services is a welcome addition to the well received and highly acclaimed Design Checks for HVAC, published in 2002. The design guidance sheets provide information on design inputs, outputs and practical watch points for key building services design topics. The guidance given complements that in CIBSE Guide K, Electricity in Buildings, and is presented in a format that can be easily incorporated into a firm’s quality assurance procedures. From personal experience I have seen the benefit of such quality procedures. Once embedded within a process information management system, the guidance in this book will ensure consistent and high quality design information. When used for validation and verification, the design checks and procedures can also make a key contribution to a risk management strategy. The easy-to-follow layout and the breadth of content makes Design Checks for Electrical Services a key document for all building services engineers.

Architect Ben Crawford on Why Mentors Matter
60+ Years of Design + Innovation 25 JULY 2018 Architect Ben Crawford on Why Mentors Matter HOK’s Dallas design principal shares the story of the teacher who kept him on course and why he feels an obligation to give back through the ACE Mentor Program. Ben Crawford was studying architecture as an undergrad at Rice University in the late 1980s when he took a look around and wondered: Do I belong here? Have I made the right choice? “It was a challenging time for me,” recalls the architect who now leads HOK’s Dallas design team. “I had grown up in Atlanta attending private schools, so Rice was familiar in that sense. Socially, though, it was quite different. I had been spent most of my upbringing grounded in the black community—my Atlanta neighborhood, my church. In the architecture school, I wasn’t seeing many people who looked like me. Meanwhile, I had all these friends who were attending historically black colleges and seemed to be having a great time.” A long-time architecture professor at Rice University, the late Spencer Parsons, noticed Crawford was struggling and shared some wisdom that still resonates today. “He said, ‘You know, there’s always room in this profession for one more talented person and one more individual voice and viewpoint.’” Crawford would heed that advice, earning a Bachelor of Architecture at Rice and discovering other mentors who would push him as Parsons did. While still an undergrad, he spent 14 months interning in the New York office of I.M. Pei, working alongside veteran designers on landmark projects such as the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. -
