READ MORE  FEATURED ARTICLE   Design Delegation: Who Bears the Risk? PROSURANCE REDEKER GROUP Together with growing pressure to shorten project schedules and decrease costs, there is a general acknowledgment that specialty subcontractors often have their own approach to fabrication and installation of project components. It is therefore increasingly common for architects and engineers to delegate aspects of the project’s design to the general contractor and its subs.

READ MORE How deafness shapes our world Fast Company As a design director who was born deaf, Jeffrey Mansfield has long been interested in the relationship between deafness and physical spaces. He has noticed how spaces designed with deafness in mind, like the school for the deaf he attended growing up, are different from other kinds of architecture, and how some spaces can limit or extend a deaf person’s sensory awareness.

READ MORE Bamboo formwork and exposed concrete in architectural projects ArchDaily While concrete is without a doubt the world's go-to building material thanks to its durability, malleability, and ability to withstand a wide range of climates, it is also the principal source of CO2 emissions within the realm of construction.
