Wicker

Wicker is often mistakenly taken as the material, though it is actually a term that is used for woven products. In terms of material, wicker products have been divided into two major types, synthetic and natural. Synthetic wicker is developed from resin wicker and plastic, while the natural wicker is developed from sea grass, rattan and many other natural materials.

Synthetic Wicker – Multipurpose Material

A number of choices are available in synthetic wicker products for outdoor furniture and accessories such as cushion box. Another value of the synthetic wicker lies in its colors. A range of colors are available to meet specific preferences.

In addition, the synthetic wicker is a great choice for outdoors such as patio, garden, balcony, pool side and other open areas in your home. Wicker is higher resistant to extreme cold and hot weather and able to restore its durability and beauty for a longer period of time, as long as 10 years or more. Along with patio furniture, synthetic wicker is equally suitable for making high quality indoor furniture and accessories. Synthetic wicker makes decoration easy and fun.

WeWork takes on a construction management app provider

WeWork, the New York-based urban workspace designer and redeveloper that’s one of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S., has acquired Fieldlens, a six-year-old producer of construction management applications that allow for more efficient on-site communications. Most construction projects “are broken social networks,” says Doug Chambers, Fieldlens’ founder. His company’s app helps make a jobsite environment more like Facebook or a social feed, where everyone on site is communicating in real time, all the time. An example Chambers gives is a project manager who is walking a site, and using the app on his smartphone to send observations, pictures, confirmations, and directives to other crew members. Chambers says that on one jobsite in Buffalo, N.Y., the Fieldlens app is facilitating 1,000 interactions per day, on average, among the 80 to 100 workers on site. “Fieldlens lets people get back to work,” and not get bogged down on a lot of administrative and paperwork duties, says Cha...

Quick turnaround: Partners HealtchCare

This administrative building, the largest in Somerville, Mass., consolidates 4,500 employees from 14 locations across Boston into one place. The project’s 30-month schedule was half of the typical time frame for such a building. So the Building Team had little margin for delays or mistakes. Twice-weekly meetings that included the client, AEC firms, and consultants were guided by seven core values that served as a roadmap during the design process. Once construction began, project leaders established a risk assessment group that identified and assessed potential problems weekly.  The building creates an “all-under-one-roof” organizational concept and culture, with a training center, multipurpose auditorium (available for use by campus residents, the local community, and the Partners’ network), community hubs, and outdoor spaces that include two acres of green space and walking paths. The facility is near a new subway stop, which connects the building to Somerville’s developing mix...
