Bradley sponsors design studio on intelligent buildings for UWM SARUP

Bradley Corp. is collaborating with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's School of Architecture and Urban Planning (SARUP) to launch a Sponsored Studio featuring the company's commercial restroom products during the fall semester.

The topic of the Bradley Studio is "Intelligent Skins for Intelligent Buildings," which utilizes students' design, research and analysis to influence the appearance and performance of a structure's "skin" to create an intelligent building of the future. The studio is taught by Gregory D. Thomson, assistant professor and co-director of the Institute for Ecological Design at UWM.

The studio will incorporate the use of the company's commercial restroom products, ranging from lavatory systems made with sustainable materials to capacitive faucets to restroom partitions made with pre- and post-consumer recycled materials.  Throughout the studio, Bradley employees will collaborate with students, giving hands-on instruction on the company's products and technologies. 

Thomson says the students will begin the studio by dissecting the elements of building design--from the tangible aspects of a building to the intangible realities of the human interface with buildings. These will be a basis for analysis and inspiration for developing a wide range of applications to apply in a real-life building design. BD+C

U.S. is reducing floodplain development in most areas

The perception that the U.S. has not been able to curb development in flood-prone areas is mostly inaccurate, according to new research from climate adaptation experts. A national survey of floodplain development between 2001 and 2019 found that fewer structures were built in floodplains than might be expected if cities were building at random.
