beat coal, coal, green, renewable energy

america’s renewable energy usage surpasses coal for the first time ever

via designboom

it looks as though the future of electricity in the US favours renewable energy as it surpasses the production of coal for the first time ever. according to reports, renewables including hydro, solar, wind, biomass, and geothermal generated more electricity than coal-fired plants in the month of april, and could continue to do so.

the EIA report shows renewable energy generating 2,322 and 2,271 thousand megawatt-hours (MWh/day) per day in april and may, respectively. this tops coal’s expected output of 1,997 and 2,239 thousand MWh/day during the same two months.

as per the institute for energy economics and financial analysis (IEFFA), these figures and projections are a first in american history. the organization says this trend will happen sporadically throughout the next several years, as renewable energy becomes cheaper and the world’s attention focuses on alternatives to fossil fuels and mitigating the effects of climate change.

    Instagram post 2190953118060077100_322522629 It's Art Basel week in Miami, and as a way to showcase architecture as art, today we are featuring one of our favorite moments @auberge_beach.  This striking sculptural staircase mimics the project's signature curved forms and incorporates elegant materials and subtle lighting to elevate an otherwise functional space.

    Instagram post 2182869738563131634_322522629 This whimsical design for an office building on Miami Beach remains one of our favorites! The very idea of an office building in SoBe is a rare occurrence, and we wanted to make this one of the most dynamic and free-flowing corporate spaces we would ever design.  The urban conditions and location influenced the sculpting of the massing, which is purposefully carved to create an internal courtyard that allows light and air to filter in through the center of the building.

Check our stories for some of the process drawings behind the design!

    Instagram post 2175624243365075754_322522629 Met Square is the fourth and final phase of the visionary Metropolitan Miami development.  This urban center consists of an 80,000 SF cinema complex, 40,000 SF of luxury dining and retail, a 34-story apartment tower, and a museum paying tribune to the Native American Tequesta tribe and Miami's first hotel, The Royal Palm Hotel by Henry Flagler.  Inspired by the "big box" nature of cinemas, the facade treatment creates a playful composition of cubes that stack and layer above one another.  The aesthetic is further expressed in the balcony treatment of the tower above.

This year we're dressing up as our favorite decades, so it's only right that we post a #tbt to the iconic @wmiamihotel in Miami Beach. Completed in collaboration with the late New York architect Costas Knodylis, this unique design positions guest rooms on a 25-degree angle, providing guests with uninterrupted oceanfront views.

    Instagram post 2164735427066570887_322522629 For our Civic Center project near the Miami River, we began our design process by taking a microscopic look at the the marine ecosystem, and coral sediments in particular.  Our exploration into these microscopic worlds inspired us to use certain geometries not only as functional openings or wall patterns, but as a way to root the building and the neighborhood to the history of the city, and to enhance public awareness about the fragility of marine life.

    Instagram post 2155337867386327039_322522629 We're loving this rendering of the @epochsarasota.  Not only does it feature our @vuesarasotabay project in the background, but it captures the essence of the design intent - contemporary elegance that's all about those amazing gulf views!  Currently under construction, we can't wait to see this project come to life!

Inspired by the concentric shapes of the site's immediate context, the resulting L-shaped building allows for better views, more air and light, and pays reverence to its iconic neighbor - the Miami Tower.  Two-thirds of the way up the building, the L-shape cuts back, eventually disappearing altogether and giving way to a slender and elegant form.
