The RainDrain shower drain by hansgrohe is a sophisticated system solution that fits flexibly into any shower design. A basic set for all shower drain channels provides security during installation. Thanks to its low installation depth, RainDrain is suitable for a variety of installation situations, in new buildings as well as in renovations. To assist in matching the shower to the drain solution, as well as allowing a style to be developed in different projects, the RainDrain shower drain has three different channels and one variant for point drainage

Text description provided by the architects. De Vlaamse Waterweg nv is part of the Flemish administration. Their main objective is the maintenance of all waterways that cross the region, including the adjacent land area and infrastructure. They strive to increase the quality and attractiveness, not only for water transport but also for life surrounding the waterways, by increasing the ecological, water regulating, mobility, and recreational value of their infrastructure.

Towpaths parallel to rivers and canals are generally intensively used routes for cyclists and pedestrians, both recreationally and functionally. To improve the functionality of these paths, a connection over the river Lyss between the municipalities of Wielsbeke and Waregem was necessary. De Vlaamse Waterweg commissioned SBE to design a cyclist and pedestrian bridge that spans the river in a comfortable way without disturbing the canal landscape or its ecological value. SBE therefore designed a sober, down-to-earth bridge that harmonizes with its surroundings.

An S-shaped route was chosen based on the existing traffic flows and recreational hotspots in the area. It was also decided to keep the bridge on the "inside" of the banks so that everything can remain within the limits of the public domain and the current towpaths do not have to be diverted. The construction thus largely follows the already formed lines within the landscape (Lyss - rows of trees - towpaths).

The structure over the width of the river is conceived as a symmetrical steel arch, which follows the inverse bending momentum diagram and thus obtains a logical, organic form that fits within the natural landscape. On both banks, a straight, concrete ramp connects the central bridge to the adjacent towpaths. Earthen slopes on both approaches anchor the whole in its surroundings.

The ambition was to give the bridge as slender a view as possible. Therefore, among other things, the uprights of the bridge were inclined outward so that one has more space at steering height without having to widen the bridge deck and also so that certain shadow lines were generated on the outside. This inclination was also continued over the concrete slopes and in combination with its concrete pillars below.

By working with three materials, namely steel, concrete, and soil, it was possible to achieve an expressive dynamic in the architectural design. And that both in the overall image of the bridge but also in the experience of the user on the bridge itself. The embankment at the approaches gives the feeling that the bridge is literally anchored in its environment. Then there is the concrete slope in a straight movement that allows and gives you time to experience the steel bridge as a true star player. Once on the steel bridge, one follows the organic line from low to high and back again so the experience on the bridge itself differs in every spot.

The Second Studio Podcast: Preparing Students for Their Careers and Global Challenges

Challenge For Locality - Japan Vietnam Architecture Colloquium.

KIENTRUC O to be a Keynote Speaker at the lecture "Challenge for Locality - Japan Vietnam Architecture Colloquium" organised by The Japan Institute of Architects – National Conference on Environment, ARCHI-DEPOT Corporation and Otemon Gakuin University.

6 Công Trình Trường Học Của Kiến Trúc O: Tạo Lập Những Bầu Không Khí Hứng Khởi

Trong suốt 5 năm vừa qua, KIENTRUC O đã thực hiện được 6 công trình giáo dục rất đa dạng, từ quy mô nhỏ đến quy mô rất lớn, từ trường mầm non cho các em nhỏ đến những khối lớp cho trung học, từ cải tạo đến xây dựng mới, từ đô thị đến vùng ven, từ đồng bằng đến đồi núi,… Thông qua 6 công trình trường học trãi khắp các vùng miền này đã thể hiện được sự đa dạng của thể loại Kiến trúc Giáo dục tại Việt Nam. Song hành với kiến trúc, tính chất lịch sử và các tập tính sinh hoạt con người của những vùng đất cũng được biểu lộ, đi kèm với việc biểu hiện những nét đặc trưng văn hóa của từng vùng miền. Những điều này đã thể hiện khả năng nhạy cảm của kiến trúc giáo dục ngay từ khi thiết kế đến khi hoàn thành, và khi công trình đi vào giai đoạn sử dụng cũng có những tác động tích cực ngược lại cho bối cảnh của bản địa.

Việc thực hiện thiết kế những công trình giáo dục này cũng là cơ hội để chúng tôi có thể tìm hiểu và nhận biết sâu sắc về bản chất của không gian phục vụ giáo dục, những không gian giúp cho các em học sinh có cơ hội khám phá, có cảm hứng tương tác với nhau và tương tác với thiên nhiên trong bầu không khí của hứng khởi.

Renovation of Huangpu River Yangpu Bridge Water Quality Automatic Monitoring Station / TJAD Atelier L+

Text description provided by the architects. Huangpu River Yangpu Bridge Water Quality Automatic Monitoring Station is located in Yangpu Riverside of Huangpu River. The base is surrounded by several historical buildings, including the historical protection building Sanxin Cotton Mill on the north side, the historical protection building Shanghai Power Station Auxiliary Equipment Factory on the east side, and the newly renovated Party and Mass Service Station on the west side. The project is a small building in the rich industrial heritage complex.

The original monitoring station house has been abandoned for many years. The station house on the ground is 5m long and 12m wide, surrounded by a crumbling courtyard and a landscape tree pool. Underground is an abandoned sewage treatment pond. Its original structure is intact, including a collection pond, a sludge pond, and a two-foot pond. The 380m2 underground building forms an underground concrete box structure.
