Engineering Design and Construction of Modern Dining Arch

The Building Dining Arch project aimed to create a functional and aesthetically pleasing space that integrated modern architectural design with efficient dining facilities. The structure was conceived to provide a unique dining experience while also serving as a central gathering point for both social and culinary activities. The design incorporated innovative materials and sustainable construction techniques, ensuring durability and environmental compatibility. The layout facilitated smooth circulation, with open spaces enhancing user comfort. Upon completion, the project successfully met its objectives by creating an inviting and practical dining environment, blending form with function. The environmental impact of building structures is increasingly scrutinized, particularly regarding embodied carbon and lifecycle emissions. This study presents a comprehensive Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) and embodied carbon analysis for the engineering design and construction of a Modern Dining Arch—a sustainable, multifunctional architectural element. By utilizing regionally sourced low-carbon materials, modular prefabrication methods, and design optimization for material efficiency, the project achieved a significant reduction in embodied carbon. The cradle-to-gate assessment reveals a 35% reduction in carbon footprint compared to conventional construction, with total emissions quantified at 175 kg CO₂-eq/m², down from a baseline of 270 kg CO₂-eq/m². This substantiates the environmental viability of the arch and provides a replicable framework for sustainable architectural design.
