Construction Supervision in Architectural Projects

| MJARC

The construction phase is the decisive stage of the entire architectural design process. It is at this point that technical, constructive, and regulatory decisions are implemented on site. Given the increasing complexity of buildings, construction supervision is essential to ensure that execution complies with the approved project, applicable legislation, and required technical standards. Independent technical […]

Architecture and Urbanism: urban planning as the foundation for sustainable architecture

| Mjarc

Architecture and urbanism are inseparable disciplines that play a crucial role in creating cities that are more sustainable, functional and inclusive. As architects, we rarely have the opportunity to choose the location of a project. In most cases, the site, whether urban, suburban, brownfield or greenfield, has already been defined before our involvement. Nevertheless, particularly […]

Key Considerations in Architectural Project Simulation

| Mjarc

The simulation of architectural projects, particularly through 3D modelling and rendering, has become an essential tool in contemporary practice. More than mere illustrative images, these simulations make it possible to anticipate and clearly communicate the materiality, spatial quality, and functional behaviour of a building still in its design phase. Through accurate three-dimensional modelling, architects can […]

Sustainable Architecture: principles and contemporary challenges

| Mjarc

Sustainable architecture is increasingly positioned as a vital response to the global climate crisis. By integrating ecological considerations into the design of buildings and cities, this approach seeks to minimise environmental impacts throughout the entire building life cycle, from early design to use, maintenance, and eventual deconstruction. While the term “sustainability” has gained prominence in […]

Construction Planning: From Vision to Built Reality

| Mjarc

Every building begins with a plan. Behind each successful project lies a rigorous planning process that aligns ideas, resources, and timelines with the aim of turning a design into a built reality. Construction planning means organising, anticipating, and coordinating all stages of the construction process to ensure that the final result meets the design intent, […]

Carpenters and Joiners how they can help

| MJARC

Carpenters construct, erect, install, and repair structures and fixtures made from wood and other materials. Carpenters are involved in many different kinds of construction, from the building of highways and bridges to the installation of kitchen cabinets.

Each carpentry task is somewhat different, but most involve the same basic steps. Working from blueprints or instructions from […]
