HORIZONTV FEATURING BD+C: WATCH EPISODES ON DEMAND AT HORIZONTV
AI ChatBots, ambient computing, floating MRIs, low-carbon cement, sunshine on demand, next-generation top-down construction. These and 35 other innovations make up our 2024 Great Solutions Report, which highlights fresh ideas and innovations from leading architecture, engineering, and construction firms.
Researchers at MIT have developed a concrete mixture that can store electrical energy. The researchers say the mixture of water, cement, and carbon black could be used for building foundations and street paving.
Boston’s largest net-zero office tower will showcase cement produced with low-carbon technology.
SGC Horizon present 7 ProConnect events in 2024.
The team's Fossilized project allows for structures that are more varied and volumetric than other forms so far achieved.
Simpson Gumpertz & Heger and CW Keller use 3D modeling and CNC machining to advance concrete construction.
Its double-angle cladding anchor maintains the air/water/vapor barrier integrity and continuous insulation while still allowing for the desired versatility of precast panels.
System reduces slab dead load by 30% on medical clinic project
School officials had to take action when popped flooring created trip hazards
Few colleges or universities have embraced prefabrication more wholeheartedly than Valparaiso (Ind.) University. The Lutheran-based institution completed a $27 million residence hall this past summer in which the structural elements were all precast.
Scientists at MIT have found a way to decrease the carbon emissions that result from concrete production: reducing the ratio of calcium to the silicate-rich clay.
The new concrete mix deforms instead of breaking, removing the threat of flying debris in an explosive attack.
Kite Bricks proposes a more efficient way of building with its newly developed Smart Bricks system.
Constructing a concrete dome is a costly process, but this may change soon. A team from the Vienna University of Technology has developed a method that allows concrete domes to form with the use of air and steel cables instead of expensive, timber supporting structures.
