"I'm your arch's nemesis"

Normal people: what? that doesn't sound right, don't you mean-

Architects: HAVE AT THEE, FUCKING BUTTRESS

#tumblr wants me to add tags #uuuh #architecture #here you go #I guess the actual nemesis of arches would be orthogonal horizontal pressure though? #since then an arch would (I presume) be less stable to that than a wall of similar length #that's just what I expect though I know literally nothing about architecture #At least if the arch doesn't support anything #If it does support something good luck felling it #I know that much #because obviously it's hard to push stuff out if there's stable weight on it #I wonder how that holds up to an architect's expertise #do architects do whole calculations of materials like how ductile they are and friction index and tensile strength and lots of stuff like #that so nothing bad happens #or do we have that stuff figured out and they just pull out a table with all the data and they just know by heart the important stuff #like 'don't use stucco as your foundation; it is brittle and sad'

Biomimetic Water Harvesting

Architecture’s Emergent Role in Climate Change

Dessau Institute of Architecture Masters Programme

Studio Peter Ruge - #0000FF- Too Little, Too Much

Stanislava Kungurova -  Biomimetic Water Harvesting

Climate change leads to changes in precipitation patterns, which provokes two opposite extremes: floods and droughts. Climate scientists predict that much of the world will experience a significant water loss. The effects of climate change should be seen as a challenge for designers to mitigate water scarcity through architecture. Understanding and responding to the effects of environmental change requires a focus on both immediate and long-term solutions. One response to the water crisis is rainwater harvesting, which is already widely used. However, today's water scarcity problems require alternative water management solutions where buildings can receive, store, and transport water more efficiently.

Existing water scarcity problems are increasing the demand for improved water management strategies. Effective water management solutions can be derived from strategies found in nature. Many similar problems have already been solved by organisms that have had to adapt to environments where water is scarce, intermittent, or excessive. Some species have developed ways to harvest water from the air in deserts or store it for periods of scarcity. The purpose of this study is to consider the methods of applying biomimetics to architecture, particularly water management, to propose a more efficient concept of water harvesting through design. Elements based on a biomimetic approach such as a water harvesting façade, a tensile net structure and a green roof are considered within the project.

Since the project is expected to focus more on biomimicry- inspired water harvesting stratagies, choosing the existing building for renovation is relevant. Within Spain, a former factory, the Tabacalera, in Madrid, has been chosen as the appropriate design area. The construction took place between 1780 and 1792. From 1809 it was a tobacco and rapeseed factory until the end of the 20th century. Nowadays, after it was declared the National Center of Fine Arts in 2007, Tabacalera Promotion of Art is managed by the General Directorate of State Museums of the Ministry of Culture and Sports, develops a permanent program of temporary exhibitions and events dedicated to photography, contemporary art and fine arts (Ministerio de Cultura y Deporte n.d.).

What are the main materials used in the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge?

The Brooklyn Bridge stands as an iconic symbol of engineering prowess and architectural marvel, connecting the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn in New York City. Its construction, which began in 1869 and was completed in 1883, marked a significant leap forward in bridge engineering during the 19th century. At the heart of this magnificent structure lie a variety of materials that were carefully selected to withstand the test of time and provide the strength and stability needed to support the bridge's massive weight and endure the forces of nature.

Foundations and Substructure:

The foundations of the Brooklyn Bridge are built upon a series of caissons—watertight chambers that were sunk to the bedrock below the East River. These caissons served as the base upon which the towers of the bridge would rise. Constructed using timber and brick, the caissons were then filled with compressed air to keep water out, allowing workers to excavate the riverbed and lay the bridge's foundations. Granite blocks were used to create the towers' outer layer, providing a sturdy and enduring base.

Superstructure:

The superstructure of the Brooklyn Bridge, including its towers and main span, is primarily composed of limestone, granite, and Rosendale cement. The limestone and granite provide the necessary strength and durability, while the Rosendale cement—a type of natural cement produced in Rosendale, New York—acted as the binding agent in the construction of the bridge's arches and towers.

Suspension Cables:

The most distinctive feature of the Brooklyn Bridge is its elegant web of suspension cables. These cables are made of high-tensile strength steel, a revolutionary material for the time. The steel cables were galvanized to protect against corrosion, ensuring the long-term stability of the bridge. The cables were meticulously woven and anchored into the bridge's towers and anchorages, distributing the load and supporting the immense weight of the bridge deck.

Decking and Walkways:

The decking and walkways of the Brooklyn Bridge were constructed using wooden planks. Originally made from longleaf yellow pine, the wooden decking has undergone various replacements and renovations over the years, adapting to the evolving demands of modern traffic. Today, the bridge features a reinforced concrete deck topped with asphalt, providing a smooth surface for vehicles and pedestrians alike.

Decorative Elements:

The Brooklyn Bridge's towers and other decorative elements showcase an array of materials, including granite, limestone, and limestone blocks. The neo-Gothic arches and intricate details that adorn the towers contribute to the bridge's aesthetic appeal and make it a true work of art.

Conclusion:

The construction of the Brooklyn Bridge stands as a testament to the innovation and engineering prowess of the 19th century. A careful selection of materials, combining strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal, was crucial to the success of this historic structure. Today, as the Brooklyn Bridge continues to serve as a vital link between two bustling boroughs, its enduring legacy serves as a reminder of the importance of thoughtful material selection in the world of civil engineering and architecture.

Are space elevators possible? Physicist says they could transform humanity into a 'spacefaring civilization'

Humanity's quest to explore—and, perhaps eventually, colonize—outer space has prompted a great many ideas about how precisely to go about it.

While conventional wisdom suggests that space launch via rockets is the best way to send human beings into orbit, other "non-rocket" methods have been proposed, including a futuristic "space elevator."

The concept of a space elevator—essentially a sky-high cable that would let humans climb into space—has been championed by some industry experts as a way to overcome the astronomical costs associated with sending people and cargo into space by rocket, says Alberto de la Torre, assistant professor of physics at Northeastern.

"Current launch systems are predominantly single-use and typically exceed $10,000 per kilogram of payload, totaling around $60 million per launch," de la Torre says. "Here's where space elevators are appealing."

First imagined by Russian rocket scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky in the late 19th century, the space elevator would extend from the ground through the atmosphere, then past "geostationary orbit," an altitude where objects in space—pulled in by the Earth's gravity—orbit more or less in tandem with its rotation. Geostationary orbit is roughly 22,236 miles above the Earth's surface.

Effectively, a cable would descend from a satellite structure anchored in geostationary orbit that would act as a "counterweight" down to Earth.

Theoretically, a satellite positioned beyond geostationary orbit would act to stabilize the cable through a combination of forces: the Earth's gravitational pull, which would exert a downward force on it from the ground, and the centrifugal force of its rotation, which would exert an upward force on the cable from space. The interaction of forces would create an ideal tension—a tautness—necessary to sustain a cable of such length, de la Torre says.

"The key element of a space elevator is its cable, positioned at the Earth's equator and synchronized with the Earth's rotation," de la Torre says.

No proof of concept exists for a space elevator. While there have been several attempts at architectural designs, including an award-winning design by a British architect that recently bore a six-figure prize, numerous technical obstacles have kept the space elevator decades out of reach.

"A cable of such length [more than 22,236 miles above the Earth] isn't feasible with standard materials," de la Torre says. "If made of steel, the maximal tension it faces at geostationary orbit exceeds its tensile strength rating by over 60 times."

For an Earth-based space elevator, strategies to reduce tensile forces, or the ability of a material to withstand tension, are crucial, he says.

But there are some materials that carry promise. Boron nitride nanotubes, diamond nano threads and graphene—all materials with "low density and high tensile strengths"—could fit the bill, de la Torre says.

"Carbon nanotubes are proposed as an ideal material due to their high tensile strength," he says. "Recent research has raised concerns about the feasibility of translating their nano-scale properties to megastructures."

In the long-run, the space elevator's promise lies in its potential to make trips to outer space significantly more economical. "The cost of putting a payload beyond a geostationary orbit can be cut to just a few hundred dollars per kilogram," de la Torre says.

"While the initial investment in a space elevator might be substantial—akin to the expense of developing and launching the James Webb Space Telescope into orbit, the costs could be recouped after successfully launching a mere few tons of payload," he says.

"With the continuous evolution of materials sciences, space technology and engineering, the concept of space elevators shouldn't be ruled out in the not-so-distant future," de la Torre says.

Until those breakthroughs in materials science arrive, the space elevator may only continue to serve as fodder for science fiction enthusiasts.

"Space elevators, in essence, hold the promise of transforming humanity into a spacefaring civilization," de la Torre says. "They could present a safe, cost-efficient avenue to bring into orbit the heavy payloads needed for hypothetical space stations, asteroid mining or developing extraterrestrial habitats."

One of the key advantages of concrete structures is their inherent strength and durability. Concrete has excellent compressive strength, allowing it to bear heavy loads without deformation or failure. Concrete structures exhibit good resistance to fire, corrosion, and weathering, ensuring long-term structural integrity and minimal maintenance requirements.

Differentiating Steel Structures

In contrast to concrete, steel structures rely on steel components such as beams, columns, and frames to support the building's weight and resist external forces. Steel offers several advantages over concrete, including a higher strength-to-weight ratio, faster construction times, and greater design flexibility. Steel structures are often preferred for high-rise buildings, industrial facilities, and infrastructure projects where large spans and open floor plans are desired.
