The urgency to combat climate change in the AEC industry is driving innovative strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. One such initiative is EMission Zero, launched by Seattle-based architecture firm Miller Hull.

Seattle’s Lake Union has lived many lives throughout its history. It is the ancestral home of the Duwamish indigenous people and a key part of the Lake Washington Ship Canal that connects Lake Washington to the Puget Sound. The freshwater lake was also the construction site of Boeing’s first aircraft and the location of Tom Hanks’ houseboat in the movie Sleepless in Seattle.

The data center landscape in the U.S., particularly in New Jersey, is experiencing significant growth driven by the evolution of technologies such as artificial intelligence and cloud computing. Yet there is still a good deal of uncertainty around how to meet this growing need.

Sometimes the tools we use shape us, as much as they do the task at hand. For the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry that’s perhaps a little truer than most; ironically so, given the persistent reputation for clinging to the old ways.

Environmental impacts of the construction sector are well known. Its estimated contribution of 40 percent of the global CO2 emissions annually is reported often.

Following a 20-week pilot program with Structure Tone, Otto Tech Systems will release their SmartLadder system to combat a leading cause of workplace accidents: falls from ladders.

Strong. Versatile. Resilient. Sustainable. These are just a few of the benefits mass timber construction offers—and part of the reason timber structures are taking the AEC world by storm. As demand for mass timber projects across the US continues to grow and evolve, designers, builders, and developers are constantly adjusting best practices. 

DroneDeploy, the leading aerial and ground reality capture platform, has announced the launch of Safety AI, the only solution of its kind to automatically identify safety risks on construction sites using a combination of in-house developed proprietary AI and large multimodal models from Google and OpenAI.

Move over, C-Note — the Manhattan high-end office market’s new exclusive club has a $200 per-square-foot admission charge.

“The topping off of the Hardt Foundation Tower is not just about reaching new heights in the construction of our new patient tower project, but elevating care for our growing community. Every beam is a promise and a commitment to the future of medical services in Bakersfield.”

Northern New Jersey is one of the leading data center markets in the country, and the sector’s explosive growth is creating opportunities for the commercial real estate and architecture-engineering-construction community.

A fast-tracked project with multiple timelines made it possible for ServiceNow to quickly move into their new home—a space that gives them room to grow now and in the future.
