ArcelorMittal Promotes Holistic Approach to Steel Construction
Written by Sandy Williams
ArcelorMittal claims a new approach to construction that will create a more sustainable life-cycle for buildings. The company has launched Steligence®, a concept that looks at buildings as holistic entities where all aspects of the design are considered in an integrated way, as part of the whole. The concept requires improved dialogue between architects and engineers for a cooperative approach to construction.
Using steel and modular steel components can generate efficiency gains in the design, construction, and configurability of buildings compared to traditional construction methods. Additionally, because steel is infinitely recyclable, architects can consider during the early planning phase the life-cycle, recyclability and, ultimately, reusability of a building and its components.
