Sense by MACO brings adaptive intelligence to smart homes
Sense by MACO is a wireless sensor system that monitors when doors and windows are opened or closed. Keeping pace with the most contemporary home automation, it offers an unprecedented level of interoperability and adaptability to be easily installed on existing systems.
The Spanish studio Fenwick Iribarren Architects – with structural engineers Schlaich Bergermann Partner and engineering consultancy Hilson Moran – ahead of the FIFA 2022 World Cup has completed in Qatar the first sport venue in history designed to be fully demountable.
Formerly known as Ras Abu Aboud, the 40,000-seat Stadium 974, near Doha Port, is composed by a modular steel structure, partly recycled, and repurposed colorful shipping containers.
After the football tournament in 2022, the stadium can be dismantled and reassembled elsewhere, or reused in the form of smaller volumes. Furthermore, its modular design not only reduces material waste, but also constructions time and costs; and thanks to the attention to water efficiency it ensure compared to conventional stadium development a decrease in water use of the 40% .
This villa frames nature as a work of art
The natural setting becomes an integral part of the design in this house, where ERCO's signature large windows let in light and vegetation, creating a continuous dialogue between inside and outside.
