Finding Funds for Sustainability: GBBN’s IRA Calculator Goes Live!
GBBN has publicly released its Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) Calculator, a tool that helps our clients—and now, the wider public—understand funding opportunities in the IRA for sustainable design. “People generally understand the goals of the IRA, but in conversations with developers and others in the building industry, we’ve found they frequently don’t understand its details […]
How do you represent a three-dimensional space in just two dimensions? This is a fundamental problem in design that architects and their clients have struggled with for a long time. Extended reality offers a solution. Extended Reality (XR) encompasses Augmented Reality (AR) Virtual Reality (VR), Mixed Reality (MR) and other technologies that help immerse end-users in full scale 3D models of unbuilt space and helps people bridge the interpretive gap between drawings and the unbuilt reality. Read our latest insight to learn how we`ve been expanding our use of XR. #architecture #design #extendedreality #augmentedreality #virtualreality #mixedreality #highereducation @uofcincy Link in bio

@iamcps North Avondale Montessori was rocking their @designlearnandbuild projects last week at STEM night! We love having the opportunity to provide mentoring for Design Lab, a free, in-school educational program that introduces architecture and design to students in grades K-8. Design Lab has grown to reach 2,000 kids each year and is an important way to inspire the next generation of architects! #architecture #design #education #letsgrowdesigners #morearchitectsplease #northavondalemontessori

Tomorrow at @cnu32_cincy Chad will present with #3cdc and @modelgroup_mg about how the framework for Restorative Urbanism can be a guide for future infill development. They`ll be focusing on the three infill buildings that make up the larger Willkommen project in Cincinnati`s Over-the-Rhine neighborhood, and how sometimes contradictory influences of community needs, historic/zoning guidelines, affordability policy, and contemporary design can be balanced to restore broken fabric within a neighborhood. #architecture #design #mixeduse @cnu_newurbanism

More and more architecture firms are signing on to the 2030 challenge with the goal of designing all new buildings and major renovations to be Carbon-neutral by 2030. Passive House strategies are one of the best ways to achieve such ambitious energy reduction targets. Stephen Mrdjenovich`s presentation tomorrow will share a long-term strategy to enhance firmwide design practices and work with mission aligned clients to build more Passive House projects #architecture #design #passivehouse #passivehousedesign @aiapgh #2030challenge

The Urban Cores of our Midwestern cities used to be the center of all activity, commerce, housing, and recreation. As suburbs expanded, downtown became more exclusively the place to go to work. Slowly evolving over the past couple decades then, more rapidly over the last 4 years - this is no longer the case. The offices have seen less people return, which has a ripple effect of reducing real estate values, reducing tax revenue, and reducing vibrancy. The option of simply waiting for office space to refill is risky and not realistic. So, what do we do with these spaces that used to be so central to the function of downtown? Adaptive Reuse is an answer, but it is not a straightforward one. Tomorrow, Amanda Markovic and Elizabeth Schmidt, will explore the challenges all cities are facing, look at specific challenges facing adaptive reuse from an architect`s lens, and propose methods for an approach to ensure the sustainable and prosperous future for our cities. @cnu_newurbanism #cincinnati #cities #adaptivereuse

Some exciting changes are afoot at @miamiuniversity`s King Library! They recently cut the ribbon on the first phase of renovations. This phase is the first step toward realizing Miami`s vision for its Libraries` Facilities Master Plan, which outlines a comprehensive renovation. Head to the link in our bio to learn how we`re helping academic libraries like King enhance how they support student learning #architecture #design #highereducation #libraries #library

The renovations to @cincychildrens Location B first floor are coming along nicely! We`re loving how the project will bring so much natural light and curving forms into the space. GBBN partnered with ZGF Architects (Design Architect/Architect of Record) great job teams! #healthcare #design #architecture #design #biophilia #biophilicdesign
