The ideas generated from this Student Design competition run by CTBUH are highly commendable. In Particular I liked the “Clean Air Tower” by Alec Balchin which responds to issues of air quality. His design for Tianjin uses industrial air-cleaning technology together with a stack effect air circulation system to clean 8.5 million cubic meters of air per year. How good would it be to have our buildings clean the environment rather than destroy it?

Well for starters, its a shingle roof style curtain wall system. A dichroic glass sill is used at the base of the “shingle” allowing the facade to change colour as the outside light conditions are altered. A dynamic facade that constantly changes throughout the course of the day. Crone worked closely with AECOM facade engineers, GJames facade manufacturers and BUILT, to transform the Concept into reality for our client Pembroke. Find below 2 photographs taken last week;

Aqualand launched their first, signature project in Australia, Lindfield Village, to a packed and buzzing audience last night. The marketing suite opens this weekend and the expectation is the first roll out of 88 apartments will be sold by the end of the weekend! Better get in fast. Sydney’s under supply of residential dwellings, Leading Design by International Architects Crone Partners and the sites premier location close to a railway station, parks and convenience shopping, make this development extremely attractive to both local and overseas buyers.

Modern, clean lines. Minimalist detailing with huge concrete cantilevers. A large entertainment deck, with a sleek wet edge pool for the parties. Glass and Steel. Walls that fold away, slide and pivot. Framed views and vistas. Exaggerated vertical spaces, fast cars and opulence.

This is a fun job!
