How can we design streetscapes on a human scale in high-density environments? In Western cities, an increasing number of inhabitants needs to be accommodated. This often means the introduction of taller high-rise buildings. Although these new urban projects are designed with the intention to create a sense of human scale for the inhabitants, it remains unclear how the users of these streetscapes actually experience them.
While mass timber and off-site construction remain in the foreground, the associated digital technologies for architects have had a quieter evolution. Aiming to bring these issues to the architectural forefront, QWEB (Quebec Wood Export Bureau) is now expanding its Offsite Wood BIM initiative by joining the non-profit BC Wood Specialties Association.
Why is this east/west alliance great news for AEC professionals? BC Wood will share its range of timber systems with the Offsite Wood BIM platform, improving the representation of timber in the BIM market, as is currently the case with other structural materials. Because the wood industry is closely linked to specific geographic regions, this collaboration will quadruple the number of wood types available on the platform by 2024. By including detailed digital descriptions of these systems in the Revit modeling environment, industry professionals will be able to work with wood more effectively and efficiently in their projects.

This book offers an overview of different forms of modern architecture in Central America since the beginning of the twentieth century. Even if modern architectures constituted only a small percentage of the total building production in Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama, they hold in these countries an evident symbolic significance. Often they functioned as models for the desired societal, economic, and cultural changes, or as aspirational placeholders for a future state of modernity. With contributions by Andrés Fernández, Gloria Grimaldi, Sandra Gutiérrez Poizat, Hans Ibelings, Martín Majewsky, Darién Montañez, Raúl Monterroso, Florencia Quesada Avendaño, and Mauricio Quirós Pacheco.
‘The Labyrinth of Rooms’ is a story about how the shape of architecture can change the way we think, and how the shape of our thoughts can change the way we see architecture. Stated otherwise, the story conceives of the human life as a series of settings that stage the coevolution of mental space and physical space.
