HOTEL JAKARTA, AMSTERDAM NL
SeARCH Architects in collaboration with WestCord Hotels won the tender of the city of Amsterdam for the development of a unique hotel at the very tip of Java Island. Given the prominent location on the IJ river, the city council wanted a unique hotel concept, not only in its architecture, but also in its public programming and sustainability.
HOTEL JAKARTA is an energy neutral building and BREEAM Excellent certified with 200 luxurious hotel rooms and a sky-bar, all offering stunning views over the river IJ. Unique for the Netherlands is its 30-m high load-bearing timber structure. All the beams, columns, ceilings and window frames are made of natural, FSC or PEFC certified timber. For 176 of the 200 hotel rooms SeARCH developed 4-star luxury wooden prefabricated units of 30 m2. All were placed on site within 3 weeks, reaching a height of 30 metres above the quays of Java Island. SeARCH translated structural and architectural requirements into a clever design where thin high-quality prefabricated concrete floors are combined with cross-laminated structural wooden walls and ceilings. Each room fitted on a standard truck, and was delivered to site fully equipped with a passive façade, balcony and complete bathroom for plug-and play, including all necessary technical installations and interior finishes.
HOTEL JAKARTA’S south and east façades are covered with Building integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV panels). The 350 PV panels - over 700m2 in total – are fully integrated into the loggias design. The glass rooftop covering the atrium also contains BIPV cells that, simultaneously collect energy and function as sun shading for the subtropical inner garden.
An atrium with the subtropical garden is the center of the hotel. It acts as a temperature regulator in both summer and winter. On every side of the building rooms have their own private covered exterior space which functions as structural shading. The single layered glass curtain of these balconies buffers noise and protects from the harsh winds of the sites exposed position at open waters.
Above the IJ at the highest point in the triangular building, the sky-bar is fully enclosed in glass. Its tip is a curved double-layered glass with an outer radius of just 600mm. Its roof is made of triple-layered glass. Both façade and roof are brought together via a very subtle glass-on-glass connection, allowing the internal timber curtain wall construction to be visible throughout.
HOTEL JAKARTA’s east and north façades are covered with anodized aluminium panels, each with their own unique perforation pattern that combines ancient trade ship illustrations from Amsterdam’s 17th century.
HOTEL JAKARTA symbolizes Amsterdam’s historic maritime connection with Asia. It is built on the quay where until the mid-20th century, immigrants would arrive after a long trip from Indonesia. For many families, the tip of Java Island was their first or last view of Amsterdam.
The 4-star hotel houses a dynamic public space with various bars, restaurants, coffee corners, a wellness centre and cultural activities, all built around the central subtropical garden. The design and maintenance of the subtropical garden is a result of a collaboration with the Hortus Botanicus and completes the series of gardens on the island. The Royal Tropical Institute is assisting us with the cultural planning. By terracing the ground floor plinth the hotel is publicly accessible on all side through the transparent façade. SeARCH designed Hotel Jakarta as a truly public building. It is a lively cornerstone of the city and a second living room to both the curious globe-trotter, the neighbours of Java Island and the wider inhabitants of Amsterdam.

Ahmet Emrehan Emre, a biomedical engineering PhD candidate, attaches a prototype structural battery to a consumer drone in lieu of the original plastic casing in the University of Michigan North Campus Research Complex in Ann Arbor, MI on December 21, 2018.
This work is part of a research project led by Nicholas Kotov, the Joseph B and Florence V Cejka Professor of Engineering at U-M. Their team has created a prototype of a zinc structural battery that uses a cartilage-like material as a solid electrolyte, which could be integrated into the structural components of aircraft, cars, and many other vehicles or devices where weight and efficiency are a concern. In this drone example, the prototype battery is wired in parallel with the craft's existing battery and is formed to cover the top and replace the casing as a demonstration of the capabilities of the structural battery.

Here’s a clear picture of why we’re painting the SR 433, Lewis and Clark Bridge. The old paint is peeling away and the underlying steel is badly rusted. If left too long, the rust will severely damage the metal and compromise the structural integrity of the bridge.

I used 1/2" foam for this costume because a) it's relatively inexpensive, b) it's easy to work with, and c) it was the only size they had in grey. But it needed more support so it didn't flop all over the place. I bought a sheet of "GreenGuard" insulation at Lowe's. It's basically a glorified styrofoam - light and stiff, perfect for gluing inside the costume to add structure.

This may look like a boring piece of timber. It's not (the only boring that has been done is by some woodworm....). It's a hand sawn (or axed) piece of bog oak which would formerly have been longer and used as part of the structure of a thatched cottage, holding up the roof. It comes from Clanrolla outside Lurgan (Co Armagh).
So it has several different 'stories' in its history: Its original growth as an oak tree, after it died and fell then its lying in wet ground or bog for probably several thousand years (given its location it almost certainly comes from the Lough Neagh basin), its unearthing and being cut, its incorporation into the structure of a cottage near Lurgan, its reclaiming or salvage when the cottage roof was replaced in the 1980s, and its storage until now. As to how long it held up a cottage roof I don't know except to say it is likey to have been A Long Time. Oh to have been a 'fly on the wall' during this story (preferably not a woodworm fly though....).
So to me its special. It comes complete with woodworm holes, (just visible in this photo on the right side), presumably when it was part of the cottage structure. They are probably very old but I treated the timber nonetheless when I acquired it.
This piece is about 89 cm long and around 16-17 x 14 cm in cross dimensions - it is not quite rectangular. It was cut to this length after salvage from the cottage roof. If working it in terms of carving I would hope to retain elements of its former use or shape, e.g. by keeping a couple of sides as they are.
Bog wood - mainly oak and pine - was used for all sorts of purposes (you name it and it was used for it....) in Ireland in the past when ordinary people had no access to above-the-ground timber. I have a copy of an amazing study of the uses of bog wood from a 1954 academic journal, ”Bog Wood - A study in rural economy” (Béaloideas 23) by A T Lucas and I look at that in a different entry www.flickr.com/photos/boggerwood/30784942058/in/dateposte...
