Constructing Excellence South West launches first ever Collaboration in Construction Diploma

Constructing Excellence South West launches first ever Collaboration in Construction Diploma

Constructing Excellence South West (CESW) has announced the launch of the first-ever diploma in Collaboration in Construction. The organisation charged with driving real change in construction has partnered with the University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD) to deliver the programme which is designed to equip delegates with the tools and techniques to positively disrupt traditional ways of working within the industry. During an online 10-month programme, this academically benchmarked level five diploma explores exactly what individuals need to ensure that a collaborative culture is successfully adopted within construction. Those taking part will not only study the principles of collaboration and integration in construction but will also benefit from networking with like-minded peers, studying technology-led approaches and learning about new behaviours which are much needed in the industry. Andrew Carpenter, CEO of Constructing Excellence South West, said: “The need for collaborative work within the UK construction industry has never been greater. With the economy expected to go into recession in late 2022, the need for our sector to adopt lean principles is essential and to be able to do this we must embrace collaboration. “In a sector that is excessively fragmented, we have identified a will to work together to deliver consistent solutions. Delegates undertaking this diploma will learn important skills in collaborative working to the advantage of themselves, their organisation and any projects they’re involved in. “This diploma course provides individuals with the chance to be an early adopter in this critical area which is essential for the future of the industry. Collaboration is the way forward.” Following a successful pilot project which ran last year, the new programme will welcome 12 new delegates in January 2023.  The course runs for 10 months which includes one-half day a month followed by additional reading material and homework.

Canvas Offices marks impressive growth after the appointment of new strategic hires

Canvas Offices marks impressive growth after the appointment of new strategic hires

Forward-thinking flexible office space provider, Canvas Offices, has achieved an impressive 30% increase in growth over the last six months, following the appointment of two new strategic hires. Committed to providing authentic and modern work environments in sought-after locations across the Capital, Canvas was originally established in 2018 and has since built an impressive portfolio of 13 buildings in desirable locations across London including Shoreditch, Mayfair, Clerkenwell, Farringdon and Old Street. With exciting plans to more than triple the business and open 10 additional buildings within the next 18 months, the leading flexible office space provider has welcomed a new Finance Director and Head of Marketing to the business over the last six months, who have played a fundamental role in achieving its growth objectives. With extensive experience in financial planning and analysis for household names including PwC and KFC, Jasmer Singh has joined Canvas as its new Finance Director. Having already played a fundamental role in forecasting, budgeting, and planning for the acquisition of additional buildings, Jasmer is also preparing for the firm’s first large equity investment round to be launched in summer 2023. Having held multiple lead marketing positions within the property sector, Mathew Moore joined Canvas as its new Head of Marketing, where he is responsible for implementing an impactful client acquisition strategy, while ensuring Canvas is established as a leading office space provider across the Capital. Discussing the new strategic hires, Yaron Rosenblum, co-founder and CEO of Canvas, said: “The next 12 months or so is an exciting but challenging time for Canvas, as we work hard to execute our strategy to more than triple growth and drive international expansion. In order to achieve these ambitious objectives, my co-founder, Oren, and I both agreed that we need true experts in the business within finance, marketing, and sales, and feel we have more than found this in Jasmer and Mathew. Although we have only been working together for a short time, they have made an impressive impact and, more importantly, are united in our vision and values for the business.” Headquartered in Shoreditch, Canvas boasts an average 98.4% occupancy rate across its entire portfolio, with growing waiting lists and strong occupier demand. In late 2022, Canvas secured £2.5 million in debt investment to drive its growth strategy, with plans to announce its first equity investment round in mid 2023. The flexible office space provider is in the final legal stages of a new building which will more than double its portfolio once completed.

What Influenced Casino Architecture?

What Influenced Casino Architecture?

When you enter a casino, as a casual player, you may not be tempted to take note of the architecture. That being said, you absolutely should.  Casinos are influenced by so much and when you begin to take note of it all yourself, you will soon see how much they have changed over the years. If you want to find out more about casinos and how much they have evolved then take a look below. Secrets of Architecture There isn’t an environmental factor that has been more influential to casinos than architecture. Casino architecture has changed so much and for a very good reason. It helps to set the stage for the experience and it also influences how someone moves through the casino floor as well. Architectural students often travel the world as it gives them a chance to learn about the different types of buildings. They often visit casinos as it gives them the chance to see the differences first-hand. Hostile Casino Design Hostile design is a well-known concept in the world of architecture. The idea of making a structure that is inconvenient or uncomfortable changes how people interact with them. If you look at public benches for example, you will often see that they have rigid armrests which stops people from being able to sleep on them. Casinos have a hostile design because it encourages people to walk past the gaming tables. You may notice that the toilets and bathrooms are located way away from the casino floor and that you have to walk past some of the most popular gaming tables just to find them. If you do this then you may be more likely to join a game that has started and this behaviour benefits the casino. Online casinos have taken off over the years, to try and give people the best possible experience. Look up Maestro casinos for beginners if you want to learn more about this. Incorporating Opulence A new trend, especially with casino architecture, has been made very popular over the years. Casinos try and incorporate opulence where they can to try and encourage a feeling of relaxation or decadence. They do this to try and make the casino feel like it is a place that is worth spending money at. In this way, casino owners tend to heighten the experience for high rollers. Opulence in Practice One example of this would be the Park Lane casino which can be found in London. Park Lane is often seen as being the prime example of architecture and the main reason for this is that it is in line with a lot of other modern trends. Aspirational architecture induces patrons by giving a design that helps to represent the lifestyle that they aspire to have. By appealing to the status anxiety that people have, and their desire to try and climb the social ladder, it would seem that casinos can encourage people to spend way more. About the Park Lane Casino The Park Lane casino is often seen as a perfect example of aspirational architecture. When you break it down, you will see that it is the expansive views and the clear windows that help to make it stand out. On top of this, you have a huge list of global cuisines. The membership is not cheap either and this helps to make it even more exquisite. Making Gambling More Social A lot of the shift to a design that is less constricting and more open points to the new trend of game positioning. One thing to note is that games, specifically slots, tend to work in a cluster and this is the opposite to how row arrangements work. By arranging games in clusters, even though they are not table games, really is another step toward the playground model. On top of this, it helps to take precedence over the hostile structure that casinos offer. Clustered games tend to be spread out more as it helps to put an end to the maze-style design that a casino has to offer. Some science says that consumers are far more likely to spend if they are integrating socially. Either way, it is safe to say that casinos have changed drastically over the years and there is no telling what the future holds. That being said, going to the casino is one of the best ways to amplify the fun you have when out travelling. Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals

Five Extravagant Las Vegas Casinos That Were Never Built

Five Extravagant Las Vegas Casinos That Were Never Built

Las Vegas is a city famous for its extravagant casinos and hotels. However, many ambitious and elaborate projects have been proposed over the years that never made it to fruition. They’ve come in all shapes and sizes and could have completely transformed the look and feel of the Strip. Today Las Vegas is booming, helped by the revolution of online casinos that has reinvigorated players, enjoying sites like Casino 777 before jetting off to stay in the casinos that made it to completion such as the Bellagio or Luxor. But what are the resorts that never broke ground and ended up on the Las Vegas Strip? The Xanadu The Xanadu was a proposed casino in the 1970s that was supposed to be the biggest and most expensive casino ever built. It was planned to feature a massive 6,000-room hotel, a giant shopping mall, an indoor amusement park, and even an artificial lake. However, the project was beset with problems from the start, and it never got off the ground. The site where the Xanadu was supposed to be built was eventually taken over by the Excalibur hotel and casino. The London Resort and Casino The London Resort and Casino was a proposed project in the early 2000s that was intended to replicate the famous landmarks of London. The plan was to build a casino resort with a replica of the Tower Bridge, the Houses of Parliament, and even a scale model of the London Eye. The project was ultimately abandoned due to a lack of funding and concerns about the feasibility of replicating such iconic landmarks. The Moon Resort and Casino This futuristic project was proposed in the late 1990s and was intended to be a space-themed casino resort. The design featured a giant dome-shaped structure with a laser beam that would project images of the moon onto the ceiling. The resort was supposed to have a lunar theme throughout, with rooms designed to look like spaceships and a restaurant with a revolving floor that simulated the feeling of walking on the moon. Unfortunately, the project never got beyond the planning stage. The Titanic Resort and Casino The Titanic Resort and Casino was a  project in the late 1990s that was intended to be a tribute to the famous ocean liner. The plan was to build a replica of the Titanic that would be the centerpiece of the resort. The ship would be permanently docked in a giant indoor lake, and visitors would be able to explore the recreated decks and cabins. The project was ultimately scrapped due to concerns about the potential negative connotations associated with the Titanic disaster. The Aladdin Mega-Resort This proposed project in the late 1990s was intended to be a massive expansion of the existing Aladdin Hotel and Casino. The plan was to build a giant shopping mall, an indoor theme park, and a massive 4,000-room hotel. The resort was also supposed to feature a giant retractable roof that would allow visitors to enjoy the Las Vegas sunshine year-round. However, the project was ultimately abandoned due to financial difficulties. Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals
