IN THIS WEEK’S FRIDAY5

The Metal Construction Association (MCA) has released its 2022 Annual Report, which is now available on the MCA website or by clicking the link below. The report details MCA’s efforts and achievements throughout the year. The rise of metal in the construction industry is in part due to the association’s advocacy, technical resources, and marketing efforts. In 2022, the MCA provided 50 pages of data-driven insights in its annual statistical report and wrote or updated 20 white papers and technical reports. The annual report also contains findings about the labor shortage, a market outlook for 2023, and other issues that are facing the industry.

Construction is underway for a 13-story, 208-room hotel in Charlotte, NC. The hotel is conveniently located in the uptown area, which is experiencing an influx of activity, so the timing is just right for this type of hospitality project. The Moxy Charlotte will offer a rooftop terrace, a Starbucks coffee shop and a bar on the top floor plus a host of additional amenities. MillerClapperton will provide and install 4,200 square feet of Profiled Single Skin material for the project scheduled to open next year.

Last year marked the first time ever that the international editors of Architectural Digest joined forces to celebrate the best new projects from around the world – all designed by talents on their AD100 and AD50 lists. This year is no different and the chosen projects represent “today’s most important new feats of architecture, art, and design that don’t just boldly reimagine our world, they enrich it – sparking joy, igniting imagination, and building community.” Click below for 20 true ‘Works of Wonder’.

“While traveling is a complete way to experience a place, it’s not the only way – images of cities, areas and buildings are everywhere, from advertising to the arts, from Instagram to cinema, and they leave deep impressions on our memory and imagination. In films, cities and buildings are fundamental to the narrative. They can be a simple background, a supporting, or even the main character. Get to know six houses through the cinema below. The residences are not only locations for the films but also tell the narratives of each cinematographic work.”
