Voisin's cars employed construction methods, and lightweight materials like aluminum and magnesium, developed for use in aviation.
While most of the sustainable decisions on green building development are made during the project planning and design stages, the employed construction methods and processes also play an important role in reducing buildings' environmental impacts during and beyond the construction stage.
(2) Is there an ecological benefit to incorporating heterogeneity in a restored site by employing multiple construction methods?
In post-earthquake Bam (Iran), for example, the combination of unskilled laborers and inadequacy of supervision and mentoring led to several failures in employing new construction methods (Bilau and Witt 2016).
In doing so we employ several construction methods — some conventional and some new.
The architect for the renovation, Frank O. Gehry, was an appropriate choice to restore the Albert C. Martin-designed 1947 Union Hardware buildings, since Gehry's own style often employs industrial materials and construction methods.
None of the tree construction methods employed was able to completely resolve the phylogeny of either cluster.
Designed by Ernest Wilson of Langdon and Wilson, architects of the original Getty Villa, it employed tilt-up concrete-wall construction methods more common to erecting grocery stores than art museums.
To save time and money, innovative construction methods were employed: The original plans called for the segments of the long ramps and spans (used to direct-connect roads) to be made of steel, but because building with steel would interfere with heavy traffic flow during construction, cast-in-place segmental concrete was substituted in the plans.
Unlike previous construction methods, our approach employs only a few n/2-variable affine subfunctions in the design, resulting in a more favourable algebraic structure.
There are many ways that green construction methods can be employed to build a new building designed for long-term operations and maintenance savings.
