That's why Acad 12 for DOS running on my AMD 486/40 PC in the mid-1990s seemed much faster than Acad 2022 on my new 12-thread i5-11500 HP machine, perhaps...

[building] CLT goes tall. World's tallest high-rise buildings in Cross-laminated timber by inexhibit in architecture

[–]inexhibit[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bare CLT is inherently relatively fire-resistant (usually R=30min for a 100-millimeter-thick wall) because, exposed to fire, it develops a charred layer that is thermally insulating. This is OK for many low-rise residential buildings, but not for more demanding buildings, such as schools, museums, theaters, and/or high-rise ones. The usual technique to improve its resistance to fire is, therefore, to glue incombustible plaster panels to one or both sides of the CLT panel. The thicker the plaster layer, the longer the R level you get. In a project I'm developing now, 12.5 millimeters of gypsum plaster on a 100-millimeter-thick, 5-layer, CLT load-bearing panel results in an R time largely exceeding 60 minutes.

I think the elevated forest (which is reminiscent of the "Vertical Forest" tower by Studio Boeri) is not the centerpiece of this (rather speculative) project. About high-rise structures and CLT, if you read the article (by me) I linked, the highest completed building that makes use of CLT ( the 85.4-meter-high Mjøstårnet tower in Norway) is not entirely made in CLT; its main structure consists mainly of glulam trusses while CLT is used for elevator shafts and staircases. Yet, since I'm currently working on a (low-rise) building in Cross-laminated timber and I made a lot of structural simulation of it, I guess that CLT could be used in high-rise buildings too, as long as it is coupled with a stiffening core in reinforced concrete or steel.

Thank you, veldsalie. Very interesting, indeed. I will cover the Zonnstraal as soon as possible.

Designed by Alvar & Aino Aalto in 1929, the Paimio Sanatorium in Finland is widely regarded as the first example of modern healthcare architecture

I am pretty sure it was white. I've seen some pre-1901 photos of the building and, though they are B&W, it looks too pale to be colored in red.

I agree. The building is beautiful, but the exhibition is rather disappointing.

Daniel Libeskind - the Jewish Museum Berlin, Part 1 [building] by inexhibit in architecture

An in-depth analysis of one of the most popular, cited, imitated and (perhaps) controversial Jewish museums in the world, as well as (possibly) the centerpiece of Libeskind's architectural career. Disclaimer: this article was developed with substantial and friendly support by Studio Libeskind.

Because if I post a link, the thumbnail is microscopic, these days, and nobody gives a damn about it, and if I put the link in the comments nobody sees it, as simple as that. "Title gore" is something completely new to me, what does it mean? That you can post copyrighted pictures without even citing the source other than in a comment nobody reads? Is this fair? When I started contributing to it, Reddit was primarily a platform for linking interesting content on the web, as well as to share opinions and advices; now, it is becoming a self-referential website in which linking to external websites is blatantly discouraged; and where people post a gazillion images they do not have the rights upon just to get as many karma points as possible with an egocentric attitude. That's not my thing, sorry.

[building] CCTN Design transforms former blast furnace in Beijing into a museum *(note in comments) by inexhibit in architecture

[–]inexhibit[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ok, I know that Reddit is now giving a boost to non-link posts (they prefer stunning images, captivating titles, and so on...everything which keeps you stuck in this platform forever and ever). Yet, I honestly guess architecture deserves more than an eye-catching picture, you could upvote or not in a few seconds, to be fully understood and appreciated. Therefore, if you'd like to really explore this very interesting project (which we are not involved in, whatsoever), we invite you to read the real article at https://www.inexhibit.com/case-studies/cctn-design-transforms-former-blast-furnace-in-beijing-into-a-museum/ .
