As 2024 comes to a close, Building Design reflects on a year of thought-provoking features and investigative reporting. From landmark restoration projects to the social and economic pressures impacting architecture, these stories provide valuable insights into the key debates defining the profession today. This year, Daniel Gayne delved into the extraordinary completion of La Sagrada Família in Barcelona, uncovering how architects and craftspeople continue to bring Gaudí’s vision to life. Meanwhile, Tom Lowe examined London’s new wave of skyscraper proposals and tackled the pressing question: is an oversupply of architects driving down fees in an increasingly competitive market? Mary Richardson shed light on Beyond the Box, a social enterprise championing diversity and reforming procurement practices in the built environment, while Nora Redmond explored the UK’s failure to provide safe, accessible spaces for children and young people – an often-overlooked crisis with far-reaching consequences. Our features also documented innovative educational models, including AL Academy, as reported by Ben Flatman, which is pioneering new pathways into the profession for school leavers. And when it came to contentious developments, Alex Funk examined the Truman Brewery’s uphill battle to secure community support for its latest plans in London’s Brick Lane. Each article provides a lens through which to understand the challenges and opportunities facing architecture today. We invite you to revisit these standout stories and reflect on the big issues shaping the profession. https://lnkd.in/eajuJep4 #architecture #builtenvironment Ackroyd Lowrie Beyond The Box CIC Studio PDP

At Integrated Projects, Symon Kipkemei and his team have embraced the challenge of surfacing 150,000+ Revit families’ metadata across our 4,000+ BIM model assets. Our goal is to address the following critical questions: ☑️ What families exist within our models? ☑️ Which family categories, subcategories, and types are dominantly in use? ☑️ What are the placement configurations of these families? ☑️ What are the dimensional properties of these families? ☑️ What are the host configurations of these families? ☑️ How are these families classified and named? By answering these integral questions, we aim to create an end to end value chain between the BIM and the physical product. We’d love to hear your thoughts on this approach and what this value means to you. #Revit #BIM #laserscanning #DigitalConstruction #IPX #scantobim #realitycapture #architects
