Our IRA Calculator Finds Funding Opportunities for Healthcare Projects
Our IRA Calculator now calculates funding opportunities for healthcare projects! Our popular tool, developed with CMTA, helps our clients—including healthcare clients—understand funding opportunities in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) for sustainable design While the goals of the IRA are generally understood among people in the building industry, we’ve found they frequently don’t understand its details […]

GBBN’s Design Issues Series (DIS) JOY exhibit recently wrapped up a tour of Louisville, Pittsburgh, Minneapolis, and Cincinnati—the cities where GBBN’s US offices are located.
Mixing both high- and low-tech creative pursuits to encourage joy, the exhibits featured hands-on making like printing and collaging, interactive augmented reality activities, and displays of employees’ personal objects of joy. While the exact form of the exhibit varied with each location, each event prompted interesting conversations about design, joy, making, and the built environment while creating openings for future collaborations.

@ywcacincinnati recently celebrated the opening of its new domestic violence shelter. The project doubles their capacity to serve survivors in Cincinnati. The new shelter was designed using a trauma-informed approach to promote dignity and healing for survivors. “In these spaces, they’re able to be in their own haven with their family, cook their own meals, and not have to share a bathroom,” said YWCA Chief Program Officer, Jawana Glover. The shelter includes 21 apartment style units, dedicated space for children, pet kennel, outdoor play areas and staff offices on site #architecture #design #ribboncutting #ywca #cincinnati #traumahealing #egd @terrexllc

Built in less than a week by our Co-ops as part of our Design Issues Series exhibit ‘JOY’ in Cincinnati, we built a Spark Wall, where we can display some of the things that spark joy in us! The build also served as proof of concept for deploying Augmented Reality on the construction site.
The wall was constructed of over 1600 wood blocks measuring 1-1/2x3-1/2” x 8.” Our co-ops wore the Hololens AR goggles, which showed them the previous course (red) and footprint of the next course (cyan). This gave them enough information to reference their location on the current build as well as where to place adhesive at the overlapping areas. A grasshopper script allowed them to navigate between courses as needed.
Each course is roughly 50 blocks (+\-) and two co-ops were able to complete a course in 10 to 15 minutes. There were 36 courses in total, but with a varied height across the length of the wall. The twist: our co-ops didn’t know what they were building; they just knew the current course they were working on. Come see how accurate to the rhino model they were able to build. JOYN us Thursday! #architecture #design #DIS #building #AR #augmentedreality #fabrication #gbbn #exhibit #exhibition

Outside and inside the renovated Marriott Foundation Building at @pennstate. Originally designed by architect Robert Venturi, who envisioned a house in the woods, one nestled in a quiet corner of campus, the Marriott Foundation Building today houses Penn State`s School of Hospitality Management`s Learning Center for Hospitality, Inclusion, and Innovation. Honored with a @retrofitmag Metamorphosis Award, the sensitive renovation of this existing campus building has helped position it for new life, new students, and a new purpose. GBBN`s Matt Plecity will share insights from this project at @scup_highered_planning mid-atlantic regional conference tomorrow #architecture #design #highereducation #highered #campus #renovation

What is JOY?
How does it spark and spread? How do our individual passions and joys impact the work we do and how we do it? Our Design Issues Series (DIS) explores it all! Our #pittsburgh exhibit last week was a great evening of community building and hands on making and creative expression through printmaking, gaming, and our creative rage corner!😂 Joy is throwing open the doors and playing. Our JOY exhibit rolls into Cincinnati next…are you in?
