IN THIS WEEK’S FRIDAY5

There are a wide range of products on the market that claim to be Metal Composite Material or MCM, but how can designers be sure they are using what’s best for their project? The age-old question of ‘what’s in a name?’ can be misleading since MCM has come to mean so many things. Rather than relying on the name alone, there are several important questions to consider, such as whether the product/system is supported by testing and whether or not there is a labeling program in place.

Product labeling goes beyond a name on the back of a panel. Labeling ensures quality compliance with the stated performance requirements, and conformance to the code. To help you navigate the meaning behind these labels, the Metal Construction Association has put together a whitepaper that goes in-depth on MCM labeling and makes sense of Section 1406 of the International Building Code.

Location: Miami, FL
Product: Reynobond FR (MCM)
General Contractor: Balfour Beatty Construction

The River Landing Shops and Residences are under construction in the “health district” along the Miami River, west of downtown Miami. The project includes 25- and 23-story towers for 528 rental apartments, as well as office space. There will also be a building for retail shopping that has been enlarged to reach seven stories and is expected to open early this year. MillerClapperton is fabricating more than 53,000 square feet of Metal Composite Material for the project.

Since UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization) began designating landscapes, cultural routes, cities or architectural structures as World Heritage Sites, more than 1121 places in over 167 countries have been recognized for their natural or cultural relevance to encourage their preservation. As we reflect on the last year and past decade, ArchDaily has compiled a list of architectural works that were designated as World Heritage Sites from 2019-2020.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve shared the best drawings and most inspiring photographs of 2019, but this week, we are sharing the best architectural projects of the past year. Among these 50 architectural works published by ArchDaily are residences, restaurants, and museums from Indonesia to Germany, which are being celebrated as the best “built projects” in the world in 2019. Click below for the complete list of projects and outstanding images that showcase these truly incredible works.
