NEW RULES FOR CHICAGO LICENSED CONTRACTORS — This is a public service announcement for licensed contractors in Chicago regarding the new rule for inspections from the Department of Buildings. As of August 2nd, if your new construction or renovation permit was issued on or before September 7th, 2023, and you have not yet requested and passed any inspections, the permit is suspended. You must obtain a reinstatement permit, and pay a reinstatement fee, before you can continue. If you passed an initial inspection more than one year ago, and additional inspections are required, your permit is also suspended. If your permit is suspended, you must obtain a reinstatement permit and pay a reinstatement fee before you can continue. If the same permit was issued on or before September 11th, 2022, and you have not yet requested and passed any inspections, the permit is expired and cannot be reinstated. You will need to apply for a new permit to begin or continue the project. These new rules from the Department of Buildings will require a new resubmission of your project and more than likely will add 2-4 months minimum to your project. Please visit our website and get in touch if you're looking for an experienced architecture firm in Chicago that is prepared to navigate these new challenges.

There's a lot for the architectural profession to reflect and act on in the #Grenfell report, as captured quite powerfully in this piece by Oliver Wainwright writing in The Guardian: on how we train architects, on our interrogation of building products and systems, and on our reliance on consultants and specialists: https://lnkd.in/ePDSx4cE Thoughts as always with those who lost loved ones in the tragedy.

Architects unveil designs for California High-Speed Rail stations Foster + Partners and Arup have revealed the latest designs for California High-Speed Rail’s first four stations. The team is overseeing the architecture and engineering for the new Central Valley stations, which will serve as models of design for others planned along the entire 500-mile Los Angeles/Anaheim to San Francisco system. The first four California High-Speed Rail stations will be located: in the cities of Merced and Fresno; at Kings Tulare, which is close to the city of Hanford, and at Bakersfield, which will be the southern terminus of California High-Speed Rail’s Central Valley initial segment and is expected to one day provide connections to Los Angeles. California High-Speed Rail is currently under construction in the state’s Central Valley with the goal of having the first operable line complete between 2030-2033. California Rail was first proposed in 2008 as a bullet train service which will one day allow passengers to travel from Los Angeles to San Francisco in under three hours and take approximately half a million cars off the road annually. However, the project has been beset by delays and spiralling costs. Initial construction efforts are focussing on the medium sized cities in the inland Central Valley with proposals to connect San Francisco and LA pushed into the future. Stefan Behling, Head of Studio, Foster + Partners, said: “We are honoured to be part of this once-in-a- generation project that will connect California’s urban fabric with the agricultural heartland, transform local communities, and completely revolutionize the way people travel across the state. We are developing an architectural language for the four Central Valley stations, including soaring canopies that draw in fresh air and shield waiting passengers from harsh sunlight. The station design reflects the sustainable ethos of the wider project.” Ramamurthy Mayavan Philip Varghese #architectural #engineering #agricultural #designs #sustainable #equipment #construction #infrastructure #manufacturing #constructionequipment
