In the pursuit of exploring new models for how healthy cities could more effectively sustain these demands, Dutch design and research studio FABRICations has investigated how cities of the Netherlands can reduce carbon emissions through new design-led approaches.

City services buildings such as police and fire stations, libraries, city halls, and medical examiner’s offices are important touchpoints for the communities they serve. In some respects, they define the character of the government and color the interactions between citizens and public servants. One of the main architectural challenges of designing buildings for the public sector is designing buildings that embrace the community through their public-facing functions while maintaining the security, functionality, and financial stewardship expected by administrators and taxpayers.

As in most nations formed near fault lines, earthquakes are seen as a part of life in New Zealand, and they are weaved into the indigenous mythology of the islands. Rūaumoko, a Māori god, is said to cause the rumbling of quakes and the hiss of volcanic activity as he moves below the earth. Māori have recorded multiple large-scale earthquakes throughout their oral history, including one at Rotorua said to have claimed the lives of 1,000 people.

Look around any city or town, and you’ll likely find examples of aging buildings in need of restoration, rehabilitation, or reconstruction. From rural villages to urban metropolises, the world around us is collectively aging, and with it, many of the historic buildings that once defined our landscapes, culture, and identity. Reuse of these historic structures plays a key role in not only preserving the past, but also as we look to the future and consider the impact our designs have on communities and the environment.

In recent years, scientists have created shape-shifting materials, which are often made from polymers that bend and twist when they’re exposed to some kind of external stimulus, such as heat or moisture. Now, researchers from the University of Stuttgart’s Institute for Computational Design and Construction have figured out how to bring similar shape-shifting properties to one of humanity’s oldest building materials: wood.
