McHugh worked as a concrete subcontractor on 340 on the Park, a 70-story condominium tower in Chicago. The $33.6 million project involved creating the reinforced concrete structure for the building, which was briefly the second tallest all-residential high-rise in Chicago and the US. McHugh helped the building earn LEED certification and used innovative flying concrete forms up to 70 feet tall to speed construction.
Joseph Allen Stein was an American architect who worked in India for over 50 years. Some key works include the Indian Habitat Centre in New Delhi, which features a continuous roof space frame and balances blue, green, and red colors. At the American International School, he used folded steel lattice vaulting at the classrooms. For Escorts Limited, he employed different shell configurations like barrel vaults and hyperbolic domes. Throughout his career, Stein aimed for an appropriate modern regionalism that considered the local environment, materials, and human scale.
Climate-responsive (passive) design is key to green buildings design and is based on the way a building moderates the climate for human good and well-being. Solar energy and wind energy can be effectively combined with climate-responsive design to produce electrical power by photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbines (WT). Today, urbanization and the increasingly dense populations of the worlds largest cities are pushing architects to reach for new heights in sustainable building skyscraper designs. But, there are a few green buildings in this world that capture the eye. This presentation provides a preview of Modern eco-scrapers that are bridging the gap between breathtaking building design and clean technological ingenuity .
The document discusses the growth of the green building movement in India. It provides statistics on the increase in registered green buildings and certified building space. It also outlines the vision and services provided by the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) to promote green building practices in India. Key organizations that have achieved green building certifications are highlighted.
The CII-Godrej Green Business Centre in India was the first building to receive LEED Platinum certification outside of the US. It uses various sustainable design and construction features, such as a circular structure to maximize ventilation, local and recycled materials, passive cooling techniques like wind towers, a green roof for stormwater management and reduced energy consumption. The building aims to be a model for green building practices and environmental stewardship in India.
Green buildings aim to minimize environmental impact and prioritize sustainability. They conserve resources through efficient design and construction practices like renewable energy generation, water recycling, and waste reduction. Green buildings provide benefits like reduced operating costs, healthier environments for occupants, and decreased environmental impact through lower emissions and less strain on natural resources. However, barriers to green building include a lack of developer education, high initial costs, and difficult approval processes.
This document summarizes a green building workshop hosted by HUD's Office of Native American Programs. It discusses how green building practices can increase energy and water efficiency, reduce environmental impacts, and improve indoor air quality. Examples of green building strategies presented included energy-efficient appliances and building envelopes, renewable energy systems, sustainable building materials, water conservation, and construction waste management. Data showed that green building approaches can help control rising energy costs and address environmental hazards in existing housing. The workshop provided lessons on applying green development practices and next steps to promote these techniques in HUD programs.
Green building aims to create energy-efficient, healthy buildings with minimal environmental impact. There is a global push by governments and organizations to improve sustainability and livability through green building. Green buildings provide cost benefits like reduced operating costs and incentives, and have competitive advantages. Standards like LEED rate buildings on sustainability factors like energy use, materials, and indoor environmental quality. The presentation discusses green building strategies, technologies, benefits and certification systems.

Case Study - University of Colorado Parking Garage and FieldAMSYSCO Inc.
油
The University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS)
needed more campus parking for the Alpine Village student
housing complex. In addition, the UCCS planning board
approved financing to expand their sporting complex.
This project served two purposes: a parking structure
that acted as a recreational field. The 1200-car, four-story
post-tensioned (PT) parking structure supported the
240 x 360 ft (73 x 110 m) artificial turf field on the roof
level.
The high-rise building located at 111 W. Wacker Drive
in downtown Chicago, IL, was formerly known as the Waterview. The structure was originally designed as an 89-story luxury hotel located along the Chicago River. The construction of the conventionally-reinforced building progressed until the 27th floor, when it was shelved due to financing issues. In 2012, the hotel was redesigned as a 60-story residential apartment building and renamed OneEleven.
OneEleven Tower - post tensioned transfer deckAMSYSCO Inc.
油
The high-rise building located at 111 W. Wacker Drive in downtown Chicago was formerly known as the Waterview. The structure was originally designed as an 89-story luxury hotel located along the Chicago River. The construction of the conventionally-reinforced building progressed until the 27th floor when the 2007 economic recession hit the U.S. Ultimately, the original project was shelved due to financing issues. The unfinished building became a visible eye-sore in the heart of Chicago for several years. Fortunately, a consortium of creditors and lienholders (Clark Wacker LLC) took ownership of the project and formed a Joint Venture with Related Midwest in 2010.
In 2012, the hotel was redesigned as a 60-story residential apartment building and renamed OneEleven. There were several major design issues with converting a hotel into a 500-unit apartment with a smaller floor-plate and different column layout. Since the column were poured until the 28th floor, this floor was built as originally designed. The 29th floor was constructed with a 12-inch post-tensioned slab and functioned as an amenity level.
What separates this high-rise tower from others is the 60-inch transfer deck (located on the 30th floor). The transfer deck was designed to be a 72-inch conventionally-reinforced slab with the post-tensioned floors above. The PT Supplier and Concrete Contractor redesigned it into a 60-inch thick slab using post-tensioned to replace roughly 372 tons of rebar. The redesign saved around $380,000 from the cost of the transfer deck (excluding costs of other vertical elements). The reduced dead load of the slab also helped eliminate the reshoring requirements. The 12-inch building height reduction funneled into lower costs for all vertical elements and lower operational energy costs. A flat-plate was used in lieu of large beams and transfer girders in order to reduce forming costs.
The installation of the transfer slab and coordination of trades was extremely complex. Additionally, the coordination was fast-paced since the transfer slab was the second floor of the new construction. Construction trades and engineer spent almost one month on coordinating PT tendons, rebar and MEP piping/penetrations.
The transfer mat was poured in two lifts (20-inch and 40-inch lifts) for a total of roughly 2,250 cubic yards of 6000 psi concrete. One of the pours lasted 17 hours and had an increased degree of complexity due to being poured mid-air. In total, there was 60 tons of unbonded-post-tensioning (gross weight) used in the transfer deck.
The use of unbonded post-tensioning in the original design was also used to reduce the high-rise building height by at least 1 per floor as compared to mildly-reinforced concrete. PT helped make a stalled project more economical due to the reduction in material costs (concrete columns/walls, MEP piping, elevators/stairs and curtain-wall).
Each tower has 750,000 square feet of space with 50 floors and 10 units per floor of 15,000 square feet. There are 7.1 billion people in the world that would require 2.85 million towers of 500 units each to house the world's population at 5 people per unit. At a cost of $92 million per tower, it would cost over $262 trillion to house the entire world's population.
This document provides a list of 64 buildings in the United States with details including their height in meters and feet, number of floors, year completed, and primary construction material and use. The tallest is Aqua in Chicago at 261.8 meters (859 feet) with 86 floors completed in 2009 using concrete for residential and hotel use. The shortest is Clark and Grand Hotels in Chicago with unspecified height and floors completed in 2013 using concrete for hotel use.
One Museum Park West (Post-Tensioning case study)AMSYSCO Inc.
油
The One Museum Park West high-rise condominium tower in Chicago was originally designed with conventionally reinforced concrete slabs and transfer girders, but went over budget. A value engineering analysis proposed converting the structural design to unbonded post-tensioning, which would reduce costs by deleting some interior columns, transfer girders, and reducing girder depths. This option was chosen and resulted in $4 million in savings through reductions to concrete, rebar, forming costs, and other structure elements like caissons and walls. The post-tensioning supplier worked with the engineer of record to implement the new design, which increased PT usage from an initial 35,000 feet to 1.6 million feet and helped complete

A bedroom is more than just a place to sleep; it's where you find comfort and a sense of peace. It's the room that feels like a hug after a busy day. The bed, soft and inviting, is where you can sink into relaxation, with pillows that cradle your head and blankets that make you feel cozy and safe. It's a place where you can let go of the world and just be.
You might have a dresser or a closet, a place to tuck away clothes and personal items, but its also where you keep the little things that make you feel at homelike a favorite book on the nightstand or a candle that smells like calm. Soft lighting adds warmth, and windows let in just enough natural light during the day to keep things bright but not too harsh.
Decor adds that personal touchwhether its a plant in the corner, art on the walls, or a rug that feels nice underfoot. Its where you can get away from everything, to recharge or reflect, and to make the space feel completely yours. A bedroom is the ultimate safe haven, designed for comfort, rest, and a sense of belonging.

In an era dominated by technological revolution, design thinking's impact on economic and cultural success is undeniable.
However, its focus on 'designing for the user' often neglects the broader real-world implications of the complex systems within which the things we design are used.
In this talk, we will advocate for embracing evolutionary and ecological theories as a toolkit for understanding and designing for our dynamic and interconnected world.
By exploring questions about innovation speed, efficiency, and societal impacts through this lens, attendees will gain insights into enhancing UX design, fostering creative problem-solving, and developing impactful, innovative solutions.
From this presentation you will learn:
- How a better understanding of natural biological systems will help to improve their design practice
- The importance of considering the context of how and where your designs will be used
- How to think about your work in different ways that will enable them to take different approaches to problem solving
- How to adopt systems thinking approaches to help you design more impactful, innovative and effective design solutions.
