Show moreConcrete is one of the most widely used construction materials in the world, and Portland Cement is the most commonly used cement in the industry. Manufacturing materials are dependent on research and industry specification standards. This report focuses on current innovations in concrete developments, with a specific emphasis on Aluminosilicate or ‘geopolymer’ cements and their possible implications on architecture in the United States. Aluminosilicate cements are currently being researched worldwide and have been implemented in a couple of countries as a replacement for portland cement. It’s one of many sustainable cement solutions, but unlike others, provides enhanced characteristics while remaining in the same price range as ordinary portland cement mixtures. This technology uses no limestone or water thus eliminating the need for high amounts of energy use in the production of its initial ingredients. Introducing new construction materials is challenging, especially to a well established concrete industry such as that of the United States. Precast concrete offers an ideal medium for new concrete materials and their introduction into common practice. More sustainable and durable materials are becoming available, changing construction processes and have the possibility to affect the further evolution of architectural design. This report articulates these advancements and the importance of architectural involvement within the United States construction industry.

Show moreCurrently there are several countries throughout the world that have a large need for affordable housing. Our IPRO is currently dealing with solutions for Juarez, Mexico and Chicago, Illinois. These two places are very different in climate, culture, as well as economy. Our IPRO this semester will focus on applying the prototype from last semester to these two regions, while making adjustments as needed. We will continue the research into systems which will be advantageous to each situation and develop them accordingly. Once we get a better understanding as to how we can apply our prototype to these situations we will be better able to apply the prototype to various other countries throughout the world.
