The winning design by @emphase_lausanne_bern for the new Swiss banknotes, to be issued at the beginning of the 2030s, has been announced! Do notice that the CHF 20 bill features Empa NEST HiLo unit by the @blockresearchgroup at @ethzurich and partners. How cool would it be to have our project (which is soon to host the offices of our spinoff VAULTED) printed on the Swiss money?!

Big day for COMPAS, the open-source computational framework for research and collaboration in Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC). On Thursday March 2, the COMPAS Association was founded! Congrats to the COMPAS executive team, Tom Van Mele, Gonzalo Casas, Chen Kasirer and Li Chen, for this exciting milestone! Don’t miss the unique opportunity of becoming a founding member (which gives you eternal bragging rights!) by joining before March 13.

Congratulations to @gigonguyer and team for winning 1st place for CreaTower I, a 10-storey office tower in Zug!! We are super excited and thankful that we could include the Rippmann Floor System (RFS), developed by @blockresearchgroup @ethzurich, as central feature and asset of this beautifully integrated design, and look forward to developing the project further! Note that the vaulted floor and column structure is 1/3 lighter than a conventional structure and has 35% less embodied GHG emissions. #rippmannfloorsystem #ethzurich #myethzurich #blockresearchgroup #gigonguyer #digitalconcrete #concreteinnovation #constructioninnovation #concrete #sustainableconcrete #recycled #recycledaggregates #shellstructures #construction #architecture #engineering #computation #structures #structuralengineering#appliedresearch #sustainability #carbonemissions #sustainableconstruction #strengththroughgeometry#architecturecompetition #highrise #concretestructures

Last Sunday, I spent some time with our #Striatus bridge, enjoying the beautiful fall weather and colours. Project by @blockresearchgroup @ethzurich and @zhcode @zahahadidarchitects, with @incremental3d.eu, made possible by @holcim. Exhibited at @ecc_italy #TimeSpaceExistence Architecture Biennale exhibition until November 21, 2021 in the #giardinidellamarinaressa in Venice, Italy.
