Aluminium doors and windows are commonly used in modern construction. They embody many properties that make them ideal for all types of residential, industrial and commercial construction, leading to their immense popularity in the building industry. Continue reading to learn...
Different types of plastic are quickly becoming integral materials used in the construction industry. These plastic types are often cost-effective and lightweight, changing the way building structures can be constructed and/or strengthened. One such material is Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP),...
Advancements in modern construction and technology have guided the development of innovative roofing structures that are lightweight and can have very large spans without intermediate columns. One such structure is a space frame, which has revolutionised the field of parametric...
Before the advent of technology and the invention of synthetic materials, architecture typically relied on natural materials and methods for construction. These materials were thus intrinsically eco-friendly and capable of enduring local weather conditions. One of the sustainable construction methods...
While thinking of constructing a new building, property owners often have many doubts regarding architects. What can an architect do for my project? What do you mean by architecture? Why should I hire an architect? These are some of the...
Conventional materials used in modern construction such as concrete, steel and glass often lead to the creation of spaces that are not thermally comfortable in a natural way. Such buildings rely on mechanical ventilation methods to ensure comfortable indoor environments....
Plastic is one of the most widely used materials in the world. The AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) industry also uses different forms of plastic extensively in the construction, maintenance and operation of built structures. The many advantages offered by...
Across the world, numerous construction techniques have developed locally over hundreds of years to suit the specific climatic conditions and needs of the region. These construction techniques are typically sustainable and embody the spirit of vernacular architecture. One such construction...
Historically, several materials have been used in construction for thousands of years. Most of these materials are inherently sustainable, durable and do not require much skilled labour to manufacture and construct. One such material is an adobe brick. Read on...
