The recent earthquake in Turkey has reminded us of the destructive power of natural disasters and the importance of resilient, earthquake-resistant architecture. In this blog, we explore ways in which the design of buildings can be improved to help in faster and safer relief measures after an earthquake. From utilizing modular construction and earthquake-resistant materials, to improving emergency response planning and community-focused design, we can create buildings that are not only safer but also bring comfort and hope to communities affected by earthquakes. Let's come together and make a change, so that in the face of future disasters, we can respond with confidence and resilience.
Green architecture prioritizes energy efficiency and sustainability. While it may be more costly to construct and maintain, it remains an important avenue for promoting sustainability and addressing climate change. Skilled architects and designers can help minimize costs and create buildings that are appropriate for their location and function
In a recent case study, we showcased our meticulous design process for a large residential project at MAP Architects. We integrated site context, optimized sustainability, and balanced creativity with practicality. Our approach involved understanding the location, conducting terrain and micro-climate analyses, and identifying opportunities and constraints. We developed functional layouts, refined massing, prioritized lighting, and considered traffic circulation. Captivating entry portals, curated interiors, and thoughtfully designed amenities completed the project.
