<title>A look inside Norman Foster’s world courtesy of The New Yorker</title>

<description><![CDATA[ His remarks never sounded capricious; nor did they seem unwelcome. This is the core of the business: people draw ten versions of a stairway, or a lobby, and agree to develop the best one, and then someone—possibly Lord Foster—starts to wonder about an eleventh version. Foster is very good at designing. But he’s also very good at making others not stop designing.The lengthy profile, likely the longest of Foster&#039;s six-decade career, includes testimonials of his management style from former staff members who paint a picture of a &quot;dominant but largely unseen figure&quot; at work more remotely in a late period that nonetheless spurred a record £422 million ($523 million USD) last year. Doing &quot;more with less&quot; apparently entails constant all-nighters and even Christmas workdays. His many critics might say such is to be expected from the man who lately traffics heavily in &quot;exquisite monuments for ultra-wealthy clients.&quot;

<description><![CDATA[ An unprecedented rebuilding process in Los Angeles County is rapidly afoot in the aftermath of the deadly wind-fueled wildfires that broke out across the city on January 7th, 2025.
Leading their professional colleagues in the AIA Los Angeles chapter’s Ad Hoc Disaster Relief Task Force response are Co-chairs Mohamed Sharif of Sharif, Lynch and Greg Kochanowski of Practice (formerly GGA+).
They spoke to Archinect about the difficulties and challenges that lie ahead as the process begins to repair a community that has lost more than 10,000 structures. Kochanowski describes the architecture community’s response as &quot;an uplifting testament to collective altruism and allyship in a challenging time and landscape.&quot;
In a conversation with Archinect, Kochanowski and Sharif reflect on the &quot;careful urgency&quot; they will be applying to their consortium&#039;s efforts in the replies to our questions below.
Can you define your roles as Co-Chairs of the Task Force?

<description><![CDATA[ Archinect kicked off 2025 by asking a bunch of folks (ranging from the AIA’s Chief Economist and the CEO of the American Society of Landscape Architects, to architects and academics like Martha Lewis or Judith Sheine) to share their predictions and insights for the year ahead. In Donna Sink’s opinion, &quot;Peggy Deamer&#039;s and Bryan Lee&#039;s are the best. A couple-few are very dinosaurian&quot;.
Plus with the help of Enoch Sears, Niall Patrick Walsh reviewed five common ways architects charge fees for design services and offered up five tips for structuring fees. 
gwharton added &quot;Another important aspect of this is the importance of good operational systems and management to make sure you can deliver profitably…You may have plenty of fee and a clear scope, but if your process is so ineffective that you can&#039;t move the project forward, complete phases, and deliver value consistently and on time, then you are still going to lose money.&quot;

<title>Stefano Boeri banned from public competition juries for one year, avoids house arrest</title>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/stefano-boeri-banned-from-public-competition-juries-for-one-year-avoids-house-arrest</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Architect Stefano Boeri has received a one-year ban from being part of jury panels for public competitions as part of an investigation into bid-rigging and forgery. The decision was made by a judge in Milan, who also rejected the request for house arrest against Boeri and fellow architect Cino Paolo Zucchi by Milan’s Public Prosecutor’s Office.
In addition to a one-year competition ban, Boeri is prohibited from “concluding” contracts with the public administration as an architect for one year, according to Italian outlet Agenzia Nova. Meanwhile, Zucchi received a “partial” suspension from the exercise of the public office of university professor and an eight-month ban from judging commissions of public contracts. 
The investigation stems from Boeri and Zucchi’s role as jury members for the 2022 competition for the European Library of Information and Culture in Milan.  ]]></description>

<title>Expanding the definition of &amp;apos;Black modernism&amp;apos; with Dr. Charles L. Davis II</title>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/expanding-the-definition-of-black-modernism-with-dr-charles-l-davis-ii</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ I define Black architectural modernity as the spatial and formal [built] embodiment of the black cultural projects that emerged for African Americans throughout U.S. history. This goes all the way back to the time when they were enslaved peoples [...] through the Civil Rights Movement, through Jim Crow, disinvestment, and carceral projects. Through all of those things, Black people have been forced to think of themselves as human in a world that doesn&#039;t accept their humanity.For Black History Month, the National Trust for Historic Preservation asked Dr. Charles L. Davis II about his preservation work on the Watts Happening Cultural Center and Robert T. Coles Home and Studio in Buffalo, New York, the latter having received one of the Trust’s Conserving Black Modernism grants in 2024. The two-part interview led to questions about his decision to focus on Black architecture specifically through in research, expanding to a new definition for Black modernism that he says should be based on social history rather than traditional academic constraints. 
In his words: &quot;These [Black] architects are not just borrowing stuff from white practitioners, they&#039;re interpreting it in completely different ways. So [designs] that look the same have different meanings. To me, Black architectural modernity is a mode of living. [...] It&#039;s now become a way of being. It’s a process of both aspiring to and attaining racial uplift, and the ways that our built environments embody t... ]]></description>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/meet-the-colombian-practices-weaving-into-a-new-vanguard-through-sustainable-social-architecture</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ “As architects, we need to unlearn everything we have been taught,” says Ana María Gutiérrez, standing outside this momentous structure in muddy overalls, boots and a broad-brimmed black hat. “Our idea of progress is completely based on colonialist, extractivist practices. People talk about sustainability, but what exactly are we sustaining?”Two of the practices mentioned—Organizmo and Oasis Urbano—both have seen their endeavors funded recently by grants from the Danish re:arc institute. Featuring community-based and research-driven methods, both are heavily invested in developing communities through sustainable building practices. On-the-ground efforts in hard-luck Moravia—for a long time one of the victims of the country&#039;s economic policies—have produced one success story after another for the former toxic waste site outside Medellín. 
&quot;I saw so many people killing each other on the street when I was a child,” Oasis Urbano&#039;s co-founder Holguín Ramírez tells Oiliver Wainwright. “Nobody wanted to come to Moravia. But over the last 35 years, it has become a safe, diverse and productive neighbourhood, through the commitment of the residents to improve their own area.&quot;
This will soon include the new, permanent community center, which is expected to begin construction later this year.... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The Southern California Chapter of the National Organization of Minority Architects (SoCalNOMA) is taking action to rebuild the Black community’s stake in Altadena following the Eaton Fire, joining local groups such as the Altadena Rebuild Coalition that are ensuring the cultural preservation of its legacy amid concerns about a potential erasure as part of rebuilding.
Chapter President Matthew J. Trotter spoke with NBC Los Angeles about their resolve and optimism characterized in member Charles Bryant&#039;s (whose home was lost) expression of excitement at the opportunity to design a replacement. The fire has had a tremendous impact on Black families in Altadena, which is known for its list of important cultural icons like Octavia Butler, whose 1992 novel Parable of the Sower has been noted for its prescience after the blaze.

<guid>https://archiecho.com/archinect-readers-predict-the-2025-pritzker-prize-winner</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Archinect readers have once again weighed in on their predictions for the winner of the Pritzker Prize. The 2025 winner of what is arguably architecture’s most prestigious accolade will be announced on Tuesday, March 4th.
Last year, 2024 winner Riken Yamamoto appeared as an unexpected choice from the community, with no readers correctly guessing the ultimate winner. Those who fear humans are losing their competitive edge over machines can, however, take comfort in the fact that none of the AI models we asked predicted the correct winner either.
This year’s jury will be chaired by Alejandro Aravena for the seventh consecutive year, joined by Barry Bergdoll, Deborah Berke, Stephen Breyer, André Aranha Corrêa do Lago, Anne Lacaton, Hashim Sarkis, Kazuyo Sejima, and Manuela Lucá-Dazio.
Who will they choose as the 2025 winner? Here are some predictions from Archinect readers:

<description><![CDATA[ With the announcement of the 2025 Pritzker Prize winner less than 24 hours away, Archinect has continued an experiment we began last year, asking four artificial intelligence models to predict the 2025 winner. Below, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity have their say after (human) Archinect readers offered us their predictions last week.
Beyond the novelty of the experiment and curiosity over how accurate the results may turn out to be, eliciting predictions from AI models offers an opportunity to track the capabilities of such systems over time, including accuracy. 
In 2024, the AI models we consulted struggled with providing a list free of previous winners or, in Gemini&#039;s case, not generating the requested number of potential names. This time, ChatGPT continued to offer previous winners, only generating a valid list on the third attempt. Gemini and Claude also provided previous winners on their first attempt. After a brief back-and-forth, however, all models returned ten poten... ]]></description>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/liu-jiakun-wins-the-2025-pritzker-prize</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Chinese architect Liu Jiakun, founder of Jiakun Architects, has been awarded the 2025 Pritzker Prize.
Born in Chengdu in 1956, Liu has built a career spanning over four decades, developing projects that blend modernity with traditional Chinese architectural elements.

West Village, photo courtesy of Arch-ExistLiu’s approach to urbanism challenges conventional development models, introducing public spaces within dense city environments and emphasizing the human experience in architecture. One of Liu&#039;s most notable projects, West Village (Chengdu, 2015), exemplifies such an approach to urban density, with a five-story mixed-use development that spans an entire city block, integrating cultural, commercial, and recreational spaces within a network of sloping pathways for cyclists and pedestrians. The design contrasts with the surrounding high-ri... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The career of 2025 Pritzker Prize winner Liu Jiakun has been shaped by an unconventional path through the profession and an inherent sense of cultural and historical awareness. Born in 1956 in Chengdu, China, Jiakun&#039;s early years were influenced by the medical profession of his family and the environment of the Chengdu Second People’s Hospital, where his mother worked as an internist. The hospital setting nurtured in Jiakun a sense of religious tolerance that would later inform his architectural philosophy.
Photo courtesy of Liu JiakunJiakun’s introduction to architecture came unexpectedly. Initially drawn to the creative arts, he found inspiration through drawing and literature. A teacher’s suggestion led him to consider architecture as a profession, and in 1978, he enrolled at the Institute of Architecture and Engineering in Chongqing (now Chongqing University). Jiakun graduated in 1982 with a Bachelor of Engineering in Architecture, joining the first generation of architects task... ]]></description>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/11-projects-by-2025-pritzker-prize-winner-liu-jiakun</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ As Archinect reported this morning, Chengdu architect Liu Jiakun has been announced as the winner of the 2025 Pritzker Prize, one of the architecture world&#039;s most prestigious awards.
Liu has built a career spanning over four decades, developing projects that blend modernity with traditional Chinese architectural elements. Rooted in cultural, historical, and social considerations, the architect&#039;s work often seeks to create spaces that serve and uplift communities. 
&quot;I always aspire to be like water—to permeate through a place without carrying a fixed form of my own and to seep into the local environment and the site itself,&quot; Liu said in a statement with the award&#039;s announcement. &quot;Over time, the water gradually solidifies, transforming into architecture, and perhaps even into the highest form of human spiritual creation. Yet, it still retains all the qualities of that place, both good and bad.&quot;
Following the announcement, Archinect has rounded up 11 projects that have defined Jiakun&#039;s... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Revered architect and co-founder of Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R) Ricardo Scofidio has died at 89. The firm announced that Scofidio passed away peacefully on March 6, 2025, surrounded by loved ones, including his life and work partner of many years, Elizabeth Diller.
Scofidio formed DS+R, with Diller, in 1979, reinventing modern architecture over a decades-long career. They were the first architects to receive the MacArthur Foundation&#039;s coveted &quot;genius&quot; grant in 1999.
Scofidio&#039;s own legacy is securely rooted in his designs for urban-renewal projects that changed the cityscape, including the High Line in New York City, redevelopment of Lincoln Center, the Broad museum in Los Angeles, and the Shed performance venue. His influence even extended to the academic community, where he taught at the Cooper Union School of Architecture for decades, training generations of architects with his probing and inquiring approach to designing.

<description><![CDATA[ DS+R co-founding principal Ricardo Scofidio passed away yesterday at the age of 89, leaving behind many important buildings and other great architectural designs that will now be reexamined in the context of their critical success and relationship to contemporary architectural discourse.
As a body of work, they represent what has been labeled as a &quot;veritable reinvention of New York’s public spaces, cultural institutions and educational facilities&quot; by his hometown newspaper. 
This is true for his work abroad as it was in the United States, where headline designs for the High Line, The Broad, ICA Boston, MoMA, Lincoln Center, and The Shed (to name a few) have become irreplaceable fonts for the arts and intellectual live, marked connately by a sensitivity to functionality and formal abstraction.
Scofidio was also a beloved longtime faculty member at the Cooper Union, where he first met his wife and practice partner, Elizabeth Diller. A look back at seven quintessential designs by the l... ]]></description>

<title>Victor Lundy, famed modernist and key Sarasota School figure, dies at age 101</title>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/victor-lundy-famed-modernist-and-key-sarasota-school-figure-dies-at-age-101</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Victor Lundy, the renowned modernist architect whose work leaned on fine art and espoused a more humane form of architecture for the masses, has died in Texas at the age of 101, the Sarasota Observer is reporting.
A true man of his times, Lundy served in the U.S. Army’s 26th Infantry Division during World War II (his sketches from the war are considered important) before returning home to complete his B.A. and eventually matriculate into the Harvard GSD, where he studied for his master’s degree under Walter Gropius. 
Lundy’s religious commissions—including the First Unitarian Church in Westport, Connecticut, and the St. Paul Lutheran Church in Sarasota—are, perhaps, his best-known projects alongside the United States Tax Court Building in Washington, D.C. Lundy was considered one of the leading figures of the Sarasota School. His watercolor practice was another important aspect of his approach to designing. Docomomo US thanked him for his “optimistic spirit&quot; in a commemorative post ... ]]></description>

Mitchell, writer and editor John Parman, architect and Professor Emeritus at George B. Johnston and Peggy Deamer author and Professor Emerita at Yale University.

Later, Kate Wingert-Playdon, Senior Associate Dean and Director of Architecture at Temple University, made the case for &quot;always working in collaboration. That is a strong theme here at Tyler...so many good results in the built environment rely on good relationships, including well-conceived contracts…Respect is a big piece of collaboration. This is not to say that all design comes down to a contract; it is still about creative thinking. But a good contract isn’t just about business and law&quot;.

<description><![CDATA[ I find that competitions are stimulating, exciting and keep up the momentum of thinking and exploring. [...] I have often had difficulty convincing my Partners who are much less supportive of the competition process and much more prone to the disappointment of not winning. For me not winning is not taking part. Losing is learning. And I’ve learnt a lot.Competitions are an essential part of professional practice and academia, dating to antiquity and counting even the the Acropolis in Athens as one if their many numerous contributions to at least Western culture and society. Williamson mentions his participation with the Norman Foster Foundation on the new Rebuild Kharkiv competition, saying it was a valuable learning opportunity. The post nonetheless garnered a considerable amount of backlash online—including a comment from popular UK architect Sarah Wigglesworth—who criticized their role in perpetuating a bad architectural culture and usury relationship to clients.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The [Chicago] Tribune, which had been reducing staff and budgets for years before Alden Global Capital accelerated the process with its May 2021 purchase of Tribune Publishing, did not replace Kamin, just as it did not replace several other culture writers who left the paper. So the retired critic took matters into his own hands.We covered the debut of the Windy City’s newest critic Edward Keegan back in August along with the restart of work on 400 Lake Shore Drive. His position is being funded by Blair Kamin after Kamin stepped aside in January 2021. He explains the situation to Northwestern&#039;s vaunted J-school&#039;s Local News Initiative blog.
&quot;I decided that if initially they weren’t going to make a grant, that I would make a grant myself to do this,&quot; he tells of his personal philanthropy. &quot;But it’s complicated, because when you have a so-called donor-advised fund, you can’t give money legally to a for-profit enterprise. So you need to find a nonprofit to give the money to, and they, in turn, will give the money to the for-profit. So it took forever going through a variety of possibilities.&quot; ]]></description>

The last day to see this is March 16th, 2025. Kimmelman says it offers an interesting recount of how the &quot;shining light of the Kennedy era&quot; morphed into league with the originator of his failed Lower Manhattan Expressway plan, Robert Moses, bemoaning &quot;his grand plans and recklessness, his truculence and tragic arc.&quot; ]]></description>

<title>Santiago Calatrava designs $40,000 watch for Gübelin</title>
<link>https://archiecho.com/santiago-calatrava-designs-40000-watch-for-gubelin</link>
<guid>https://archiecho.com/santiago-calatrava-designs-40000-watch-for-gubelin</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Architect Santiago Calatrava has collaborated with Swiss jewelry company Gübelin to develop a limited edition watch. Named the Ipsomatic, the piece is the first watch to be designed by Calatrava and is listed by Gübelin at 34,900 CHF (over 40,000 US Dollars). 
Image credit: Gübelin“I was inspired by the idea of time,” Calatrava said about the watch. “Time exists because there is change, change means movement, the eternal essence of time is the dynamic component of its shape.”

The platinum watch likewise features curved shapes as well as an engraved drawing by Calatrava on the back of the watch depicting two bulls. The hand-drawn sketch was engraved with a four-step laser process with different engraving depths applied to achieve varying shades of color.

<description><![CDATA[ ICYMI Niall Patrick Walsh started the State of AEC intended to &quot;guide you through the latest analyses, indexes, and trends on how the architecture and construction industries are performing economically.&quot; 
In reporting on the September U.S. Federal Reserve rate cut he pointed out &quot;the Fed’s interest rate today sits at almost exactly the same level as it was in 2007, before a series of rapid cuts in response to the 2008 economic crash. Back then, the AIA’s Architecture Billings Index began a decline in January 2008 that lasted every month for two and a half years until July 2010.&quot;Later, Niall also explored the impact of post-pandemic changes driving &quot;what architecture studios are, and increasingly are not, commissioned to design&quot;. Will Galloway weighed in from Japan &quot;Interesting findings.

<guid>https://archiecho.com/uk-architects-registration-board-announces-proposal-to-overhaul-registration-for-international-architects</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The UK’s Architects Registration Board (ARB) has announced its intent to issue major overhauls to its registration process for non-UK architects wishing to pursue work within the country. 
The organization is now in the process of pursuing a public consultancy that will seek to eliminate demonstrated knowledge gaps while streamlining the number of examinations and outsourcing their administration. The proposed changes apply to the Prescribed Exam and UK Adaptation Assessment, the latter being a prerequisite for architects seeking to join the UK register through via the ARB’s international agreements with the United States, Australia/New Zealand, and Hong Kong.
The changes break down into one of four categories:
Competence-based assessment 
Assessment would be based on ARB’s Academic and Practice Outcomes (in place of the outgoing Criteria)It would assess equivalent competence and UK context-specific knowledge (instead of equivalent qualifications)Single gateway 
There would be a sin... ]]></description>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/ncarb-releases-new-16-point-competency-standard-for-architects</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Today, the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) is announcing its release of a new framework for establishing competency-based qualifications as the initial basis for architectural licensure in the United States. 
The new NCARB Competency Standard for Architects outlines 16 key competencies that are imperative at the point of initial licensure in order to ensure the public’s health, safety, and overall welfare. 
The NCARB says it will make updates to its existing programs over the next two years to align with the new standard, which likewise provides a &quot;flexible foundation&quot; for the development of future licensure programs. This, in turn, is supposed to allow the NCARB to build more accessible pathways to licensure without compromises to the ardent professional standards that are needed to protect the public.
The NCARB&#039;s President Kenneth R. Van Tine, says the new standard will &quot;shape the architecture profession for years to come and ensure that the path to l... ]]></description>

<title>Julia Morgan’s first home design lists for $1.9 million in Berkeley</title>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/julia-morgans-first-home-design-lists-for-19-million-in-berkeley</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Julia Morgan’s first residential design completed after opening her own practice has hit the real estate market in the Bay Area after listing for the first time in 50 years. The 116-year-old home owned by architect Claude Stoller until his death last year in Berkeley is just steps from UC Berkeley’s campus and includes four bedrooms and 3.5 baths in a 2,555-square-foot envelope.
The listing is for $1.9 million. According to SFGate.com, which first reported the news last week, &quot;The property is also a mix of Morgan’s original vision and contemporary amenities: The 4,182-square-foot lot hosts the home as well as an outbuilding — itself a diminutive replica of the main house — currently used as a studio, and a redwood board and batten garage with a 220-volt power outlet. Established maple and redwood trees as well as a vine-covered pergola put the finishing touches on this historic landscape.&quot;

<description><![CDATA[ “Cinema is probably the art form most similar to architecture,” [Ingels] says, in that both require “armies of people” to bring singular visions to life.BIG’s 765,000-square-foot design is equipped with 11 sound stages is one of a pair the firm has designed in the New York area. De Niro is one of several celebrity clients to have worked with the mainstream media darling, including fellow Dane Lars von Trier.
Adam Gordon is the developer behind the Wildflower Studios project. He says: &quot;Some of the most talented creative artists have been spending large parts of their career working in completely dehumanizing spaces. And I thought, &#039;van Gogh painted in Arles, right? Picasso lived in the South of France.&#039; And that’s the spirit of the creative process [...] It’s having beautiful circumstances that make you feel like making art.&quot; ]]></description>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/refik-anadol-studio-to-open-dataland-museum-of-ai-arts-at-the-grand-la-in-2025</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ By the end 2025, Refik Anadol will open a new venture called DATALAND at The Grand in downtown LA. The leading name in artificial intelligence and digital art, Anadol, announced the venture via its YouTube account, adding in a press release that Los Angeles was the &quot;perfect city&quot; for his vision of bringing the intelligence of machines and humans together in a museum setting.
Anadol was considered a prominent thinker at intersection of media and design arts well before his recent Machine Hallucinations series and debuts at MoMA, the Las Vegas Sphere, and 2023 Grammy Awards. (You can read Anadol&#039;s thoughts on the subject from his 2022 feature conservation here.) 
He now returns to the site of his 2018 installation at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, using his hero Frank Gehry’s architecture as the permanent base of which another experiment, this one to &quot;develop a new paradigm&quot;of museums, can be performed.

<title>Two new documentaries shed light on the life of children of star architects at the Architecture and Design Film Festival</title>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/two-new-documentaries-shed-light-on-the-life-of-children-of-star-architects-at-the-architecture-and-design-film-festival</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ According to Kyle Bergman, the founder and director of the Architecture and Design Film Festival, “Kids who grow up with architects as parents mostly fall into two groups. Some want to become architects and some want to run away, to get as far away from architecture as possible. But then there’s this middle ground, people who are intrigued by what their parents do but want to do their own thing.”

That third group is where the future documentarians come from, Bergman said.Christopher Hawthorne writes in preview for this month&#039;s Architecture and Design Film Festival in New York, where Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown&#039;s son Jim will premiere his gleaning biographical treatment Stardust: The Story of Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown. Nathaniel Kahn’s equally elucidatory My Architect has been hugely popular, even garnering an Academy Award nomination. Another documentary about the life of Israeli architect Ada Karmi-Melamede made by her daughter Yael (who gave up a career in architecture to pursue filmmaking) closes the festival. 
The four-day event begins tomorrow, September 25th, and runs through Saturday, September 28th. The full schedule of screenings can be found here. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The personal vacation retreat that the late Myron Goldfinger designed for himself in New Mexico in 1996 is now for sale for $1.69 million from Sotheby’s International Realty near Santa Fe. The property sits on 29 acres in Santa Fe’s Los Caminitos subdivision with 2,100 square feet and a one-bedroom/two-bath mix in an open floor plan. Goldfinger’s design reflects the &quot;intuitive&quot; sensibilities endemic to local Southwestern art-making traditions that he found upon relocating to the area later in life. Goldfinger died last July 20th at the age of 90 after earning acclaim through his many private residential designs in the New York City suburbs.

<description><![CDATA[ Colin Fournier, the British architect and planner who helped form Archigram with Sir Peter Cook and others in the early 1960s, has passed away at age 79. He was best known for the firm’s 2003 Kunsthaus Graz and work with Bernard Tschumi on the design of Parc de la Villette in Paris.
A commemoration from the UCL Bartlett School of Architecture notes: “In addition to his architectural practice, Colin was a dedicated and well-loved educator. He joined The Bartlett in 1998 and inspired generations of students for almost two decades with his distinctive approach to design. As Professor of Urban Design, he was instrumental in the formation and directorship of the Urban Design MArch and led the successful Unit 18 on the Architecture MArch programme for several years with a number of teaching partners. Colin inspired countless students and colleagues throughout his life, and his absence will be felt profoundly by all who were fortunate enough to know him.&quot;

<description><![CDATA[ A 74-square-foot apartment design in Rotterdam, the Netherlands’ second-largest city, is gaining notoriety online after being featured in the New York Times real estate section in late August.
Image: © Ossip van DuivenbodeThe Cabanon, as its architect-owners Beatriz Ramo and Bernd Upmeyer prefer to call it, takes the 1951 vacation retreat Le Corbusier designed for himself in the Côte d&#039;Azur as inspiration and includes a living room, sleeping pod, and tiny bathroom component with a small toilet, rain-shower, and spa.

<description><![CDATA[ The latest NCARB Workforce Readiness Report for 2024 has outlined a list of imperatives called key knowledge, skills, and abilities (or KSAs) for students of architecture to gain prior to their entering the professional ranks over the next few years. 
Leaning on the input of thousands of current entry-level professionals, the survey outlined the following areas as being most critical to the success of young designers working in the architectural field:
Target: Technical Proficiency
Learn as much and as many BIM design programs (2D and 3D) as you can. Demonstrating proficiency in industry-standard design software can lead to many different opportunities as students move away from the relatively more creative confines of academic coursework and into offices that may require them to focus on a specific project component or unfamiliar typology. Develop an ease at deciphering and assembling technical drawings, construction documents, etc. in addition to their correct applications in AEC.... ]]></description>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/francis-kere-teams-with-lacma-to-design-the-new-las-vegas-museum-of-art</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Las Vegas and Francis Kéré may seem like an odd pairing, but that’s exactly where the rammed earth pioneer and 2022 Pritzker winner plans to deliver his first permanent American public building for the new Las Vegas Museum of Art (LVMA) in direct partnership with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). 
Expectations are for the plan to begin construction in February 2027. The design yields a total of 90,000 square feet on a lot currently used for surface parking in Symphony Park near downtown Las Vegas. A Rendering appears to show the concept nodding to the desert vernacular in the mold of his other works and in line with the expected extreme heat challenges that will grip the city in coming years. 
KTNV quoted a source as saying its design will quote Paul Revere Williams&#039; nearby 1963 Guardian Angel Cathedral as one of its many influences and reported that the plan is to have the museum open by the end of 2028. Kéré says: &quot;It is a tremendous honor, and a highlight of my profes... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ This week, the National Council of Architectural Registration Board (NCARB) signed a new Mutual Recognition Agreement with their counterparts at the Architects Accreditation Council of Australia (AACA) and New Zealand Registered Architects Board (NZRAB). The agreement expands on an existing one that’s been on the books since 2016, eliminating a requirement for 6,000 hours of post-licensure/registration experience while accepting the qualifications of architects who obtained a license through alternative pathways. 
“We know Australian architects are sought after around the world for their high level of skill and creativity. This new agreement provides a wonderful opportunity for architects of all levels of experience to work overseas faster,” AACA President Dr. Giorgio Marfella said.  ]]></description>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/foster-partners-chairs-trailblazer-group-the-uks-first-model-maker-apprenticeship-program</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A brand new apprenticeship opportunity will grant prospective architects in the UK the chance to learn professional model-making skills in an initiative chaired by Foster + Partners in collaboration with a group of other British universities and design firms. 
The three-year Trailblazer Group program is officially a Level 6 qualification (equivalent to a bachelor&#039;s degree). 
Apprentices will earn a salary and other benefits while they learn. As the firm&#039;s announcement notes, this is meant to spur greater diversity in the profession. It coincides with the movement to reform pathways into architecture that has recently been taken up by RIBA and factored extensively in the body of fundamental overhauls proposed by the Architects Registration Board (ARB) last year. ]]></description>

<title>Design Agendas: Modern Architecture in St. Louis, 1930s–1970s</title>
<link>https://archiecho.com/design-agendas-modern-architecture-in-st-louis-1930s1970s</link>
<guid>https://archiecho.com/design-agendas-modern-architecture-in-st-louis-1930s1970s</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The story of modern architecture in St. Louis is complex and often contradictory.
Beginning in the 1930s, internationally known architects such as Eric Mendelsohn, Eero Saarinen and Minoru Yamasaki — alongside important regional and national figures like Harris Armstrong, Charles Fleming, Joseph Murphy and Gyo Obata — created iconic structures that embodied new ideas about form and, in many cases, democratic social organization. Yet the period also was marked by racial segregation and by large-scale demolitions throughout the urban core.

This fall, the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum at Washington University in St. Louis will present “Design Agendas: Modern Architecture in St. Louis, 1930s–1970s.” With nearly 300 architectural drawings, models, photographs, films, digital maps and artworks, “Design Agendas” is the first major exhibition to examine how interlocking civic, cultural and racial histories, as well as conflicting ideological aims, reshaped the city.

“I lived in Pruitt-Ig... ]]></description>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/436-indiana-street-house</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ STUDIO 804_2023 Sustainable, Student Designed and Built Modern Housing

This sustainable, modern house was designed and built from the ground up by the students of Studio 804 at the University of Kansas

The 436 Indiana Street house is part of the Pinkney neighborhood’s charming 400 block of Indiana Street in Lawrence, Kansas. It is adjacent to a canopy of mature trees. It is a unique setting for a single-family residence in the heart of the city. There is easy access to many valuable living amenities. Just a few blocks away is the Lawrence Memorial Hospital as well as downtown Lawrence which pulses with vibrant shopping, dining, and cultural experiences. Also nearby is the Kansas River which is a National Water Trail with its waterfront parks that extends up to downtown. There is also nearby access to the recently completed Lawrence Loop bike route, an urban greenway that runs for 22 miles through and around town. As well as being pedestrian friendly, the Pinkney neighborhood is connected to the city bus system which expands the possibilities of travel around Lawrence without a car. It is a perfect place to integrate the history of Lawrence with the future of sustainable design.

The 436 Indiana Street house was built to the U.S. Green Build Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum Standards. The highest certification level possible under the U.S. Green Building Council’s (USGBC) standards for sustainable practice. The house is targeted to be Studio 804’s 17th Platinum certified project. Such efforts fit the mission of Studio 804:  to better the community and environment by minimizing negative environmental impacts by all metrics.

Studio 804 is a comprehensive one year fully hands on design/build experience at the University of Kansas, School of Architecture and Design in Lawrence, Kansas. It is a not-for profit 501(c)3 corporation whose participants are graduate students at the University of Kansas and are committed to the continued research and development of innovative building solutions. Studio 804 has been a leader in sustainable design with 17 LEED Platinum certified projects, one Gold certified and three Passive House certifications. The work has won numerous awards and has been published around the world. The latest project completed by the class of 2024. A modern, high performance, sustainable infill house in Lawrence, Kansas, USA. ]]></description>

<title>Bernheimer Architecture union member notes the need for industry&#45;wide change</title>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/bernheimer-architecture-union-member-notes-the-need-for-industry-wide-change</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ While the numbers are relatively small, these victories represent a massive shift in how designers see themselves: We went from being a privileged set of artisans to workers seeking solidarity with other workers in all industries. Learning from the workers and organizers who have put in the hard work before us, designers need to continue to take advantage of the current climate and organize more workplaces.Chris Beck is an architect and member of the newly formed BA Union at New York-based Bernheimer Architecture, which recently ratified a collective bargaining agreement as the industry’s first union at a private-sector U.S. architecture firm. 
Writing for The Progressive Magazine, he says their mission would be considered a failure if not moved successfully from their office and into others across the industry. As other attempts have failed controversially, Beck claims architects’ influence within the building industry has eroded and that &quot;technology is completely dominant, strangling out the artistic skills fostered in the studio environment.&quot; Those criticisms echo many brought up in our coverage of Architectural Workers United and other labor groups. 
The terms of the BA Union’s ratified contract have yet to be publicized, though they will undoubtedly serve as a primer for the ten or more union efforts thought to be underway currently as architectural workers take note. Less than 1... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Organizing at the community level and putting pressure on politicians can go a long way, but it’s not enough. Architects have to start seeing themselves as political actors with high stakes in the same way communities and unions do. Architects are workers and they depend on work.

The fight for climate justice, resiliency, and workers’ and tenants’ rights are only going to get harder in an era of political decay, cronyism, and systemic crisis.The fight over congestion pricing and residential building retrofits in New York City are just a couple of the many flashpoints architects should involve themselves in heavily in order to better advocate for the profession, critic Kate Wagner writes. Rightly, she states, “The field’s most meaningful efforts to combat climate change are actually quite mundane.” Progress on a number of fronts, including the decarbonization of the building sector, is being either stalled or eroded at the hands of real estate and other interests. Now professionals face the choice of further subjecting their labor or pushing back via activism or other means. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ A $600,000 Humanities in Place grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation will help bolster Paul Revere Williams’ archive at his alma mater, the University of Southern California. The trove of important documents that had for a long time mired unattended in storage in Los Angeles was since recovered thanks to the efforts of USC faculty members (incl. former School of Architecture Dean Milton S.F. Curry) and Williams’ granddaughter. 
Curry will join fellow USC faculty Valéry Augustin and Amy L. Murphy in leading the administration of the public-facing grant. Activities to be funded reportedly include future exhibitions at the USC Fisher Museum, two faculty research fellowships, a biennial publication, an annual memorial lecture series, a symposium, and other community events.
Now housed at the Getty Center, the archive, which was jointly acquired by USC and the Getty Research Institute in 2020, includes: &quot;Over 37,000 plans, including 10,000 drawings, blueprints, project diazo types, ... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is reporting that Hip Hop Architect Michael Ford will design the city’s new Bronzeville Center for the Arts for 2028. The 50,000-square-foot, $54.9 million project is set to take shape at a 3.4-acre former state Department of Natural Resources office with design and technical support from HGA. 
The project, which follows Ford’s collaboration on the S9 Architecture-led Universal Hip Hop Museum in the South Bronx, New York, is meant to serve as the first home for the BCA after its formation in 2020. The BrandNu Design Studio founder says the scope of his design will &quot;both represent the rich history of the neighborhood and forecast its future.&quot; ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The firm’s website still tags the National Cathedral, the Du Bois Museum Complex and others as ‘current’ projects, in contrast to on-the-ground reality. In the midst of a lack of transparency, and accountability, what remains clear is the mistake we make when we expect global celebrities who have cut their teeth in the transactional corridors of the corporate world to switch to an opposite ethic in the name of local solidarity or values.Adjaye had faced criticism from numerous political figures in Ghana over alleged favoritism and high-profile public commissions even before being swept up by the sexual misconduct allegations that shocked the architecture world last summer. Now, writer Anakwa Dwamena reports that his visions for an increasingly unequal Accra have gone largely unrealized, leaving behind 17-acre “eyesores” in place of the controversial Ghana National Cathedral project and looming threats to two important heritage sites imposed by his Marine Drive redevelopment vision — both of which have yet to be built. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Until I worked with Ian Wardropper at the Frick, I don’t think I made it clear to myself that I’m a practical person. I’m a visual person. I think about how things go together. I have very strong opinions about what is beautiful, but at some point I realized it’s about something bigger than that. Architecture is such a real profession, and we can imbue it with all kinds of theoretical thinking, but it’s pretty basic when you’re working in the public realm.Annabelle Selldorf is working remotely from her summer home in Maine these days, she tells Vogue. Among the projects covered are her debated Sainsbury Wing redesign (“Many years down the road, this will be remembered as a Venturi, Scott Brown building and not as a Selldorf building [...].”) and the completed residential component of the One Domino Square redevelopment on the Williamsburg waterfront. The new Frick Collection expansion gets even more of the quotes, centering on the highlight 220-seat Stephen A. Schwarzman Auditorium before its anticipated debut towards the end of this year.

<description><![CDATA[ During two decades with GSA, [Kevin] Powell has had a front seat view of how technologies in facilities have evolved over the years. As electrification and decarbonization efforts continue to emerge for buildings, Powell remains excited about seeing the future of buildings unfolding.The architect behind the U.S. General Services Administration’s newly launched Green Proving Ground program is Berkeley CED graduate Kevin Powell, who spoke recently with FacilitiesNet about emerging technologies and decarbonization efforts in the building sector. As the manager of the country’s largest portfolio of buildings (the GSA has some 8,400 nationwide), Powell is in a unique position. He says his office has proven 30 new products, touting the program as a &quot;once-in-your-career moment&quot; that will augur positive trajectories for building standards for the next generation.
&quot;The program really helps a lot of the industry innovators bridge what folks call the Technology Valley of Death because we’re really taking that first user risk,&quot; Powell told the outlet. &quot;We’re the first buyer, and then we’re validating that it works, and that helps both us and the commercial real estate industry. The facility community can have confidence in what to invest in, and that’s what it’s all about.... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The historic effort by staff at Bernheimer Architecture to form the industry’s first union at a private-sector architecture U.S. firm is now complete after their ratification of a collective bargaining agreement in the firm&#039;s New York office this week. The vote on Thursday was unanimous. Founder and 2023 AIA NY Medal of Honor recipient Andy Bernheimer is said to have worked openly with organizers to meet a mutual understanding on the contract, whose finalized terms are still forthcoming. 
The process began in the summer of 2022 following the failed effort of workers at SHoP to form their own union, an episode that vaulted the conditions of architectural labor into the broader national media spotlight. The BA Union, as it is so-named, is part of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAMAW), which has over 646,000 active members in the United States and Canada. 
Groups such as Architectural Workers United are hailing its formal establishment as a major vic... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The architect who designed some of the 20th century’s great buildings kept a notebook with intimate glimpses into his creative vision. Now it’s his daughter’s final goodbye. [...]

We’re reminded of the nuts and bolts of architecture — how legends, too, are susceptible to so-called value engineering.Sketches for posthumously completed projects for the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven and the Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms State Park in New York City are included in the recreated facsimile, which Kahn’s daughter Sue Ann put together for the 50th anniversary of his death with help from Swiss publisher Lars Müller.
The result, Sam Lubell writes for the Times, is a &quot;remarkable creation.&quot; (It&#039;s important to note that these are separate from the Kickstarter-funded push for another facsimile copy of earlier sketchbooks from Designers &amp; Books.)
Conservation work on the YCBA, meanwhile, is expected to wrap up later this year. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Today, the ideas Mr. Lombardi pioneered nearly 50 years ago are serving as a template for addressing twin problems: the city’s enormous office glut and its growing housing crisis. Mr. Lombardi, now 84 and still running a 16-person firm, is part of a wave of architects and developers now undertaking the mammoth work of converting financially distressed office buildings into multifamily housing.A lengthy Times profile on the legendary New York conversion architect Joseph Pell Lombardi traces his early career efforts in SoHo and the Financial District to the contemporary challenges posed by office buildings and the impetus to remake them into housing in spite of the difficult parameters and feasibility of such designs. 
One tenant of his crowning late-70s Liberty Tower conversion said: “He painted a picture of the neighborhood as a residential mecca, which no one else could see at the time.” Richard Gluckman of Gluckman Tang Architects adds: “His foresight inspired a lot of architects. He showed what was possible.”
At least 64 building owners have &#039;expressed interest&#039; in the city&#039;s new Office Conversion Accelerator since the program was launched last summer. According to a RentCafe data analysis, 5,215 units are currently in the city&#039;s project pipeline after the local market experienced an 18% growth from the preceding calendar year. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) has announced University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa School of Architecture associate professor Cathi Ho Schar as its incoming president for 2024–2025.
Ho Schar is also the inaugural director of the eight-year-old University of Hawaiʻi Community Design Center (UHCDC), where she has gained valuable experience working with legislators, state agency directors, and faculty principal investigators to establish partnerships with over 30 public and non-profit organizations while generating $8 million in community-engaged research.
Those efforts were instrumental in helping the UHCDC win the 2020 AIA/ACSA Practice and Leadership Award. Ho Schar says: &quot;As an island-based educator and practitioner, I am shaped by Hawaiʻi’s Indigenous, immigrant, and multicultural community and aligned with ACSA’s commitments to equity and inclusion.&quot;

<description><![CDATA[ New AI architecture tools will, in the short term, make good design affordable and accessible. But AI will still fall short when it comes to understanding human nature as well our emotional and dignity needs. Dignity means much more than just the absence of humiliation. It also requires recognition, manifested through nine critical human needs: reason, security, human rights, accountability, transparency, justice, opportunity, innovation, and inclusiveness.&quot;Looking to the future, tomorrow’s architects will need to be equipped with transdisciplinary tools such as Neuro-Techno-Philosophy, a framework I have introduced to understand the AI-neuroscience-philosophy nexus underpinning our society today,&quot; Oxford University&#039;s Nayef Al-Rodhan argues in a new treatise on the uses of academic philosophy in today&#039;s AI-driven design field. &quot;Doing so will help ensure that the buildings of the future are in tune with our neurobiological predilections, neurobehavioral needs, aspirations and values for collective peace and prosperity.&quot;
Architecture is at a critical juncture as disruptive technology is remaking the industry wholesale. A litany of issues (housing justice, etc.) worldwide nonetheless commands its attention. As Foucault famously said in the 1970s, society &quot;must be defended.&quot; ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ A strength of Galicia, Chipperfield believes, is the extent to which technocratic versions of modernity have passed it by. “When we were growing up, we sort of knew what progress was. It was silver and shiny. Now we’re not so sure.&quot;In a new interview with Rowan Moore, last year’s Pritzker winner David Chipperfield details his work in Galicia, Spain. In this seaside locale, he says, he’s found a restored sense of &quot;normality&quot; after relocating his life and family there for the summertime beginning in 2020. From there, he established his Fundación RIA, a &quot;little research group&quot; that has been instrumental in helping guide a territorial plan with aims that can be applied to many core issues (a lack of transportation options, livelihood in city centers, and disused structures) plaguing other small cities in the EU and North America. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ On May 18, 2024, the University of Pennsylvania awarded Lin Huiyin (林徽因) with an architecture degree, exactly 100 years after they refused to admit her into their undergraduate program because she was a woman. [...]

With the news of Lin’s belated degree quickly going viral on Chinese social media, her name is again in the public eye. It is therefore a good opportunity to revisit her legacy and correct the prejudice and stereotypes that have overshadowed Lin’s story.Lin Huiyin’s story was included in the Weitzman School’s 2022 exhibition ‘Building in China: A Century of Dialogues on Modern Architecture,’ which examined her and her classmates&#039; influence in China after 1920. Often detracting from it are accounts of her personal life and relationship with Liang Sicheng. Lin’s stellar academic coursework went unrewarded even after UPenn’s decision to grant credit to female Bachelor of Architecture students after 1934. Her granddaughter, Yu Kui, accepted the diploma on her behalf at the school&#039;s commencement ceremonies last month.
On the evening of May 18th, local time in the United States, at the graduation ceremony of the University of Pennsylvania Stuart Weitzman School of Design, Lin Huiyin&#039;s granddaughter, Yu Kui, accepted the long-delayed degree certificate on behalf of Lin Huiyin from the dean of… pic.twitter.com/TZBPIsARUF— Hola Fujian (@HolaFujian) May 19, 2024 ]]></description>

The 2019 Serpentine Pavilion designer and founder of Tokyo&#039;s Junya Ishigami + Associates was recognized by the Prize&#039;s jury this January for a boundary-pushing approach that has largely and by many measures contributed to contemporary architecture&#039;s embrace of more ethereal and open public space-oriented designs while earning his reputation as the “Master of the Void.”

<title>Cities depend on water. Here&amp;apos;s the best solutions for urban designers to ensure their security</title>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/cities-depend-on-water-heres-the-best-solutions-for-urban-designers-to-ensure-their-security</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ More cities will likely face these kinds of shortages as climate change, deforestation and ecosystems degradation increasingly threaten the natural systems that maintain water supplies. But nature offers solutions, too.

By protecting, restoring and sustainably managing forests within their watersheds, cities can improve water quality and quantity in a cost-effective way. And they can make water sources more resilient to a changing climate.The most recent ASLA survey of U.S.-based landscape architects confirmed the industry’s positive response to this critical demand, including that a total of 42% of respondents have said they are pursuing climate projects worth more than $1 million and another 29% saying the value of this work was over $10 million. 
Mexico&#039;s recent presidential election is another barometer, as the environmental engineer and former CDMX mayor Claudia Sheinbaum’s ability to tackle the looming water crisis there proved a decisive factor in her historic victory. (A catastrophic &#039;Day Zero&#039;, however, still looms right around the corner.) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Earlier last month, President Biden’s appointment of architects Bruce Redman Becker and William J. Lenihan to serve on the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts (CFA) was announced in Washington, D.C. The new appointments serve as replacements for James McCrery and Duncan Stroik following the culmination of their service to the 114-year-old body, which provides important design guidance for all new federal government projects in the capital. 
Becker is the President of Westport, Connecticut&#039;s Becker + Becker, a 74-year-old firm known most recently for their award-winning redesign of Marcel Breuer&#039;s famous Pirelli Tire Building in New Haven. Lenihan is a principal at the Delaware/Philadelphia-based Tevebaugh Architecture. The pair join Billie Tsien, Justin Garrett Moore, HGA principal Peter Cook, and Lisa E.

Duplantier is involved in the preparatory reconstruction of Izium, where he says 80% of all buildings have been ‘damaged.’ 
As per the most recent World Economic Forum reports, the estimated cost of rebuilding the country’s infrastructure and built environment is $486 billion. Between three and five million residents have reportedly vacated their homes as a result of the destruction as of January, according to Le Monde.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Fumihiko Maki, the 1993 Pritzker Prize laureate and a leading figure in Japan&#039;s Metabolism movement, passed away in Tokyo on June 6th, his Maki and Associates firm announced late Tuesday. He was 95. 
Maki was born in Tokyo in 1928 and immigrated to America to study at the Cranbrook Academy of Art and then the Harvard GSD, working in the New York offices of Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill (SOM) and for Josep Lluís Sert&#039;s Cambridge, Massachusetts studio before returning to Japan to found his own practice in 1965. 
Online, Maki is being remembered for his many varied important works spread across three continents. Fans will recall his visionary contribution to the rich lineage of residential architecture in his home country, most notably the multiphase Hillside Terrace Apartments (completed between 1967 and 1992) that garnered several awards, including the country&#039;s prestigious Minister of Education Award for Fine Arts in 1973.

<description><![CDATA[ Saxon had been hired to carve an oceanside Turrell out of an angular fifty-seven-million-dollar Ando. Ye revealed to Saxon—although not all at once—that he wanted no kitchen, bathrooms, A.C., windows, light fixtures, or heating. He was intent on cutting off the water and the power (and removing the house’s cable and wiring, which ran through the concrete in plastic tubes). He talked of clarity, simplicity, and a kind of self-reliance.Former contractor Tony Saxson opens up to The New Yorker about his time working with Kanye West and Bianca Censori on the stripped-bare interiors of their Tadao Ando-designed home in Malibu. Some of the better quotes include Ando saying “my decision to accept [clients] projects depends mainly on their personality and aura” and Ye telling Saxson triumphantly “This is going to be my bomb shelter. This is going to be my Batcave.” 
Saxson would later file a lawsuit against West for the alleged illegal termination of his services on the demolition project. The house (which appears in a state of decay and cinematic disrepair via a drone video) was re-listed for $39 million – $14 million less than the $57.3 million West purchased it for in September 2021 – in early April.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ London&#039;s annual Serpentine Pavilion is gearing up for its grand opening on Friday with a first preview of this year&#039;s completed design by Korean architect Minsuk Cho. 
Envisioned together with his Seoul-based firm Mass Studies, the 23rd annual summer pavilion, titled Archipelagic Void, departs from the tradition of a single-structure installation and is, instead, comprised of five thematic &#039;islands&#039; arranged around a central void, inspired by traditional Korean madang courtyards.

<description><![CDATA[ Eduardo Souto de Moura has debuted a new timepiece collection for the Swiss watchmaker Cauny. His sober grayscale design evokes both the contemporary and classical with an “ironic” modern use of Roman numerals and a polished steel case. Its wrist strap is made of German leather. 
Image courtesy Cauny“I like this watch because it’s simple, you can tell the time well, and it’s like a building: It has to be simple and functional, and if possible beautiful...or, ‘it has to be beautiful and if it works, even better’ as Oscar Niemeyer said,” quips the 71-year-old Pritzker winner.Previously: Four Pritzker Prize-winning architects have recently designed watchesMoura&#039;s contribution to The Architects of Time Series follows a previous collection he designed for the Spanish brand Lebond Watches. He is one of four Pritzker-winning architects to design watch collections lately, joining Rafael Moneo (also for Cauny), Frank Gehry, and his fellow countryman Álvaro Siza.

<description><![CDATA[ The big beasts of London’s Elizabeth line and King’s Cross redevelopment loom large, but newly announced regional contenders for this year’s prize should include a classy Cambridge dining hall, an all-timber office block and a wheelchair-friendly rural retreatWhile the official announcement of the annual Stirling Prize for the best new building in the UK is still months away (find the results here in October), architecture critic Rowan Moore just published his customary hot take on the contenders that have been released so far. 
Picking from a field of well over 100 RIBA regional award winners, Moore acknowledged the importance of high-profile London megaprojects, such as King’s Cross and the Elizabeth Line, and praised lesser-known but worthy designs, including Níall McLaughlin&#039;s Auckland Castle, the Waugh Thistleton-led Black &amp; White Building, the Homerton College dining hall by Feilden Fowles, and Clementine Blakemore&#039;s Wraxall Yard.
The thoughtful design for a London elder care facility by Mæ took home last year&#039;s Stirling Prize top honor. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ South Korea&#039;s Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism just announced that Thomas Heatherwick will be the General Director of its fifth iteration next year. 
Billed as Asia&#039;s biggest architecture biennial, the 2025 program seeks to explore &quot;how to make buildings and cities radically more joyful and engaging,&quot; a mantra Heatherwick has been championing with his Humanise campaign. 
&quot;We are honored and thrilled by this appointment to curate our first Biennale,&quot; Heatherwick responded. &quot;There are over 300 biennales taking place around the world today. But the original ambition to use them as vehicles for debate and engagement with the public, too easily gets lost in professional echo-chambers, which most ordinary people don’t engage with.&quot;

<description><![CDATA[ When Melvalean McLemore earned her license to practice architecture in 2016, she was only the 16th Black woman in Texas to do so.

McLemore became the first Black woman president of the American Institute of Architects Houston chapter late last year [...]. While being first is exciting, McLemore said it was a bittersweet feeling.

“It’s a little bit sad to hear that someone is the first of anything in 2023, 2024,” McLemore said.Bisnow recently interviewed Melvalean McLemore, AIA Houston President, Moody Nolan Texas studio design leader, and a 2024 AIA Young Architects Award recipient; discussing her path to architecture and the lack of Black women in architecture. 
&quot;There are still less than three dozen Black female architects in Texas, and Texas is a huge state,&quot; McLemore told the outlet. &quot;We produce a lot of architects, so you have to really think about how rare it is.&quot;  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Really, the differences between the plan and the final construction are not great. Then again, I make this tentative conclusion, that our salvation depends on attention to small things, to what lies obvious before us, once seen clearly, felt within, once absorbed. Mies said similar.Gary Garvin, a name familiar to many Archinectors, delves into the lesser-known early design phase (Plan I) of Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona Pavilion. This study highlights the architectural and conceptual distinctions between the initial plan and the final structure. Garvin’s detailed analysis provides insights into Mies’s design philosophy and the modernist principles that influenced the Pavilion’s evolution.Garvin begins by outlining the key differences between Plan I and the completed Pavilion. He notes how the initial design featured more pronounced structural elements, which were later refined to create the iconic open and fluid spaces of the final version. Garvin emphasizes Mies’s intent to balance form and function, highlighting how these early designs reflect the architect’s experimentation with spatial concepts.The investigation delves into the philosophical underpinnings of Mies’s work, discussing his commitment to the principles of modernism, such as minimalism, the use ... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Even though record prices on the secondary market have heightened anxiety about the rising costs of living in Singapore, one of the world’s most expensive cities, public housing remains broadly affordable — at least for those who qualify for government subsidies to buy units.

Today, close to 80 percent of Singapore’s residents live in public housing, and about 90 percent of the units are owned on a 99-year lease.The architect of Singapore’s successful “social engineering” campaign after 1965, Liu Thai Ker, is a Malaysian-born Yale graduate and former understudy of I.M. Pei, who told the New York Times recently that he was “sad” to see the city-state’s current market dynamics affecting some of his democratizing designs from the 1980s. 
Singapore has for years ranked alongside Vienna among the world’s leading cities for the development of social housing. The 86-year-old Liu continues his work as the Founding Chairman of the Singapore/Shanghai-based MORROW Architects + Planners, an entity he began in 2017 following the culmination of his 25-year run at RSP Architects Planners &amp; Engineers. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ A celebration of Japanese architect Riken Yamamoto as the 53rd official Pritzker Prize laureate was held in Chicago over the weekend. Yamamoto was joined by past winners Francis Kéré (2022) and Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal (2021) on stage at the Illinois Institute of Technology College of Architecture for a special presentation of his life and work, which began in Beijing in 1945 and has seen designs realized in Japan, Switzerland, China, and the Republic of Korea, through a lens considering &#039;The Architect as a Catalyst for Change.&#039;
Yamamoto is the ninth Japanese winner of the Pritzker Prize, after his countrymen Arata Isozaki (2019), Shigeru Ban (2014), Toyo Ito (2013), Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa (2010), Tadao Ando (1995), Fumihiko Maki (1991), and Kenzō Tange (1987).

<description><![CDATA[ The UK’s Loughborough University has accepted Thomas Heatherwick&#039;s challenge to ‘humanize’ and create ‘joyful’ architecture with a new academic offering: A master&#039;s degree aiming to give students the opportunity to take part in a burgeoning movement created to solve a global “urban crisis” over the next decade. The 115-year-old university will become the first to affiliate itself with the Humanise campaign academically with new supplementary course content exclusive to its new Master of Architecture &amp; Design program.
Courses will leverage research into architecture, neuroscience, and human psychology in accord with Heatherwick’s philosophy of design, which was recently the subject of a new treatise of the same title. The program&#039;s official launch is slated for the fall of 2025 and includes a series of lectures and workshops exploring the idea of emotion as a function of design, an announcement from the university read Tuesday.

<description><![CDATA[ the drawing for (Parc de) la Villette...was based on very definite sources...Of course...it was no gigantic leap if you were familiar with those Belgian cartoons. Willem-Jan Neutelings would always draw these little cartoons for the buildings he made, certainly when he opened his own office...The other inspiration was a painter in Chicago named Roger Brown, who made these tip-up paintings—all his scenes were using that perspective—and he was influenced by Italian 13-14th Century painting.In collaboration with Drawing Matter, Architect Richard Hall is publishing a 6-part series based on twenty-three in-depth conversations with key collaborators working with OMA during its formative years.

Stauffacher Solomon died a prominent member of the design community whose career advanced aside an unusual synthesis of modern art, design, and architecture with many noted collaborators in all three channels and will be particularly remembered for the Supergraphics paintings she made in the late 1960s while in residence at the Sea Ranch utopian community.

<description><![CDATA[ Curator Carlo Ratti has announced the title and theme for next year’s Venice Architecture Biennale. The 19th International Architectural Exhibition will advance under the banner Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective., a portmanteau title representing different forms of intelligence supported by four pillars: Transdisciplinarity, Living Lab, Space For Ideas, and Circularity Protocol.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor and director of Carlo Ratti Associati says he wishes for curators of individual National Pavillions to consider his prompt “One place, one solution,” which asks for an attempt at coherence between theirs and the International Exhibition. He added: “Showcasing how local ingenuity can address our time’s existential challenge that can only be tackled in a cooperative manner, reflecting a multiplicity of approaches. If every country brings one success to the table, together we can assemble a global kit for adapting to the future.”

<title>NCARB shares feedback on rolling clock policy phase&#45;out and the ARE 5.0</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Since phasing out several exam policies in last year&#039;s update to the ARE, the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) has shared positive news about implementing the retirement of its former five-year Rolling Clock Policy. 
The change mandates that scores from all previously expired divisions be added to the ARE 5.0. With the reinstated ARE 4.0 results, over 6,658 credits have been added for ARE 5.0 version learners. Of the 7–8 years inactive group affected, about 20% have restarted their licensure. The organization says 70 candidates have now completed their exams and that it has benefitted women and candidates from minority backgrounds at a higher rate. 
NCARB President Jon Baker stated that the new policy emphasizes their commitment to removing the barriers to licensure while still upholding exam integrity and increasing equity.

<description><![CDATA[ The winning bid for a $3.5 million contract to design a new memorial to Canadian military veterans of the war in Afghanistan from a Montreal-based studio that was replaced by the government has prompted a lawsuit by its architect. Renée Daoust is suing the federal government after it replaced hers with a proposal from the Indigenous artist Adrian Stimson citing an apparently “un-scientific” online survey, according to the CBC’s reporting last month.
&quot;We&#039;re very concerned because it does create a precedent, a very dangerous precedent for Canada in terms of competitions, public art competitions, architectural competitions and so on,&quot; Daoust told the broadcaster. &quot;There was political interference, so we don&#039;t want this to happen again.&quot;
Stimson is reportedly working to finalize his design without a clear resolution in sight. The American National Global War on Terror memorial in Washington, D.C. from Marlon Blackwell Architects is also being planned for the National Mall.... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Archinect is remembering the life and legacy of Ball State University architecture professor Janice Shimizu, who has passed away at the age of 54.
Janice won many hearts and minds throughout an estimable career in academia and the professional realm, sentiments that were repeated by the many people with whom she became familiar through her involvement in the Japanese-Canadian community in and around her native Manitoba. 
She earned a Bachelor of Environmental Design degree from the University of Manitoba before completing her graduate studies at SCI-Arc, later entering professional practice with Thom Mayne and Morphosis in Los Angeles and, in 2004, founding the now widely-recognized studio Shimizu + Coggeshall Architects (S+Ca) with husband Josh Coggeshall.

<description><![CDATA[ The Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation (BWAF) has launched a new audio documentary on an influential 1970s exhibition on women in architecture. Part of the BWAF series ‘New Angle: Voice,’ the episode will profile the Brooklyn Museum’s 1977 exhibition ‘Women in American Architecture.’
Curated by architect Susana Torre and sponsored by the Architectural League of New York, the exhibition received significant coverage across national and architectural media, including a review by Ada Louise Huxtable in The New York Times. The new audio episode, ‘Laying the Groundwork: Women in American Architecture, Spring 1977,’ debuts the first program of New Angle: Voice’s third and conclusive season, with later episodes to continue exploring the influences of women in architecture.

<description><![CDATA[ Frank Gehry has provided some interesting comments to the LA Times to coincide with last week’s groundbreaking of the new Colburn Center in downtown Los Angeles, a vital lynchpin for the city’s post-COVID economic rebound.
Speaking on the record for an article to the paper’s business section, the 95-year-old Walt Disney Concert Hall designer told reporters about his still-expanding vision for the Grand Avenue corridor and beyond. The neighborhood has been a bit of an obsession of his since the end of the 1990s. Now, he says, &quot;we still have work to do,&quot; adding that Little Tokyo, the Arts District, and other neighborhoods near Bunker Hill can and should have their own culture-backed transformations performed to facilitate a revival pushed by LA Mayor Karen Bass and other civic leaders.

<description><![CDATA[ Jeffrey Beers International (JBI) has announced a new leadership team in the absence of its namesake founder, who passed away last month from cancer at the age of 67.
The firm has appointed partners Michael Pandolfi, Nora Liu-Kanter, and Tim Rooney as new leaders of the 37-year-old New York-based studio practice.

&quot;We’ve been thrilled to see visitors of all ages and from far and wide flock to MPavilion, curious to experience what Tadao Ando, an extraordinary master of design, has created for Melbourne.

<guid>https://archiecho.com/ray-kappes-keeler-house-lists-for-12-million-in-los-angeles</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Late SCI-Arc founder Ray Kappe’s Keeler House design has hit the market in Pacific Palisades, California, for $12 million.
The split-level, 4,142-square-foot Post and Beam design was built over four and a half years using Kappe’s nearby personal residence as its model. A rich palette of redwood, teak, Douglas fir, concrete, and glass feature carefully throughout the home, which sits on a 7-acre hillside lot and is replete with a two-car garage, four bedrooms, three baths, a storeroom, and separate guest quarters.
Kappe designed the home in 1991 for a local jazz musician. Its interior layout is centered around its open-plan living/entertainment area that is cantilevered to extend over the hillside. A pleasing layered effect composes the interior, with glass inlay floor and ceiling blocks included to further incorporate the presence of natural light deeper into the structure via a vaulted skylight. Six concrete towers work to elevate the home above the tree line, allowing for a floati... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The show is a gem. It focuses on domestic design from six countries (Colombia, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Chile and Venezuela), produced between 1940 and 1980. Latin America had entered a period of transformation, industrial expansion and creativity. Across the region, design was becoming institutionalized as a profession, opening up new avenues, especially for women.Critic Michael Kimmelman has heaped praise on the &#039;Crafting Modernity: Design in Latin America, 1940–1980&#039; MoMA exhibition in a new piece for The New York Times. As we reported in December of last year, the show looks at the growth of modernism through an industrial and entrepreneurial lens, using a selection of examples from well-known and revered architects and designers such as Joaquim Tenreiro, Lina Bo Bardi, and Oscar Niemeyer.

<description><![CDATA[ Gaetano Pesce, the critically acclaimed Italian architect and designer of thought-provoking furniture, has passed away in New York City at the age of 84. He will be remembered for a groundbreaking career that spanned six decades and saw his many designs scattered across four continents and collected by major worldwide institutions, including MoMA, Vitra Design Museum, and Centre Pompidou.
After beginning his career as an industrial designer in Italy in the 1960s, the 2023 Andrée Putman Lifetime Achievement Award winner turned into one of the leading figures behind the Radical Design movement. His contributions included the Up5 chair he made for B&amp;B Italia, the Moloch floor lamp, and other artistic pieces that commented on politics and society through its heyday until the end of the 1970s.

<description><![CDATA[ The ten-year-old practice known as atelier masōmī has announced it is rebranding as Mariam Issoufou Architects. 
Formed by Mariam Issoufou (née Kamara) shortly after her graduation from the University of Washington, the Niger-based practice is now a widely known entity with projects featured in exhibitions worldwide and their name included as finalists for several top industry honors, such as the 2019 Prince Claus and Royal Academy Dorfman awards, 2020 Moira Gemmill Prize for Emerging Architecture nomination, and 2022 Aga Khan Award shortlist. 
In an announcement detailing the name change, the studio said: &quot;We have seen a growing interest in our work and our intersectional approach to sustainability from South America, North America, Middle East and Europe.

<description><![CDATA[ The home credited as one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s first Prairie School designs, the 1900 Warren Hickox House, has hit the market recently in Kankakee, Illinois, for a listing price of $779,000.
Realtor.com was early to report news of the home’s listing, which represents the first time the home has been available for purchase in 48 years. Sited adjacent to the R. Harley Bradley House from the same year, the 3,277-square-foot design features four bedrooms and 2.5 baths and is completed by a Japanese-inspired roofline the then 33-year-old Wright was drawn to even before his first visit to the country in 1905.

Image: Freiluft/Wikimedia Commons (CC BY-SA 3.0)The Frank Lloyd Wright Trust describes: “Despite the relatively small scale of the residence, Wright created a sense of both interior and exterior expansiveness through his use of a modified cruciform plan and his manipulation of architectural space, form, and details.”

<description><![CDATA[ There are countless examples of architects expanding beyond buildings and architecture to engage with product design. This month alone, for example, our news coverage has included a swirling whisky bottle designed by a Zaha Hadid Architects director, a lighting product range by Snøhetta, and a series of biophilic design products by ecoLogicStudio.
In particular, the fashion industry has played host to several intriguing collaborations with big architectural names. Late last year, Frank Gehry collaborated with Louis Vuitton on a handbag for Art Basel Miami Beach one year after Louis Vuitton’s Peter Marino collaboration while, in 2022, Amale Andraos debuted a jewelry collection for Judith Ripka. To further explore this relationship between architecture, product, and fashion, we have rounded up four recent examples of notable architects engaging in the design of watches.

<description><![CDATA[ Richard Serra has died. The 85-year-old sculptor who made architecture more or less a permanent condition of his art was known for inventing a process for bending corten steel to create works he explained were about eliciting sensation and intended to display the unseen physical forces of nature.
More than any other contemporary artist (Sarah Sze, Robert Irwin, Richard Estes, etc.) whose work is informed by or makes as its subject architecture, Serra’s use of steel as a means of organizing space and sequencing experience within it is, arguably, the greatest primer for any learner embarking on academic studies in the field.
He began his experimentations first with rubber before advancing to cast lead and then finally steel, a material whose properties and building potential he understood innately thanks to time spent working in steel mills during his early years in California. The opportunity to study art at Yale University changed his life thereafter.

<description><![CDATA[ New York&#039;s Jeffrey Beers International (JBI) has shared news that its founder Jeffrey Beers passed away from a battle with cancer on Monday, March 18th, at the age of 67. 
A prominent figure in hospitality design and planning schemes, Beers began his career as an architect in I.M. Pei&#039;s New York office shortly before forming his own studio practice in the city in 1986. The next 38 years have seen its brand grow in influence to be synonymous with celebrity chefs and entertainers, corporate America, and international hotel brands.
Beers credited his Fulbright program mentor Oscar Niemeyer and former RISD professor glass artist Dale Chihuly among his influences as he pursued an architecture that suffused fine art, luxury, and a highly-tuned sensibility for good design.
“Throughout my career, I’ve been very fascinated by the intersection between architecture, design and art. Over the years I have collaborated with many artists, incorporating their work in a space but also bringing their... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ José Oubrerie, a French architect with ties to many leading modernists, has died at the age of 91. 
The longtime Knowlton School professor was noted for his academic accomplishments and for being one of the last surviving members of Le Corbusier’s studio. He inspired many generations of students to long careers in architecture, departing with his own being both highly decorated and admired within the broader community of professional design.
&quot;He showed a direction for architecture during a time of great confusion,&quot; friend Steven Holl wrote in a tribute published to his firm’s website yesterday. &quot;Now at a time where architecture seems to have drifted into commercial activity with firms of hundreds of people, he reminded us that in the office of Le Corbusier, at the end, there were only six employees including José. His dedication to architecture came with a jolly sense of humor and enormous bank of stories, which shall be passed down by many as dedicated as he was.&quot;

<description><![CDATA[ For this year&#039;s International Women’s Day on March 8, NPR is airing a special one-hour documentary produced with help from the Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation (BWAF). The piece aims to shed light on the overlooked contributions of women in architecture to an American mass audience for the first time.
Narrated by the great Oscar-winning actor and producer Frances McDormand, ‘Buildings Speak: Stories of Pioneering Women Architects’ is a collaboration with producers The Kitchen Sisters. The special draws three of the figures (Julia Morgan, Amaza Lee Meredith, and Natalie de Blois) featured in the BWAF’s unmissable New Angle: Voice podcast series, the third season of which also premiers on International Women’s Day with a special focus on the architecture of the 1970s.

<description><![CDATA[ This morning’s announcement of Riken Yamamoto as the 53rd official laureate of the Pritzker Prize has come with praise for the Beijing-born Japanese designer whose community-minded approach to architecture has impacted countless lives. Many outside of Asia were surprised by his selection, which is being received as a win for rational design principles, relational aesthetics, and the democratization of architecture.
He is particularly well-known for placing emphasis on the boundaries and periphery spaces inherent in his designs, as well as for having an equal competency in transfusing landscapes within their natural environments and urban context. To date, completed works include projects in Japan, Switzerland, China, and the Republic of Korea. 
“Yamamoto has expanded the toolbox of the profession towards both the past and the future to be able to give each time, in very different modes and at very different scales, the most pertinent response to the challenges of both the built envi... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The Albuquerque Journal is reporting Antoine Predock to have passed away on March 2nd at the age of 87. The architect and long-tenured University of New Mexico faculty member left a mark on the state he called his “spiritual home” over a four-decade career that culminated in the 2006 AIA Gold Medal and a Lifetime Achievement honor from the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Awards the following year.
Predock is best known for creating the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg and a definitive portfolio of public, institutional, and residential designs in New Mexico and the Southwest Region, which was a constant source of inspiration. His work outside of the state eventually garnered the most recognition, notably his design for Austin, Texas’s City Hall, the Tang Teaching Museum at Skidmore College, and the well-admired Petco Park in San Diego.

<description><![CDATA[ Japanese architect Riken Yamamoto has been awarded the 2024 Pritzker Prize.
&quot;By the strong, consistent quality of his buildings, he aims to dignify, enhance and enrich the life of individuals—from children to elders—and their social connections,&quot; said the jury citation. &quot;And he does this through a self-explanatory yet modest and pertinent architecture, with structural honesty and precise scaling, with careful attention to the landscape of the surroundings.&quot;
&quot;His architecture clearly expresses his beliefs through the modular structure and the simplicity of its form,&quot; the jury added. &quot;Yet, it does not dictate activities, rather it enables people to shape their own lives within his buildings with elegance, normality, poetry and joy.&quot;

<description><![CDATA[ “Without opportunities for social interaction, places are more insecure, divided and isolated [...] How can you provide value to a landscape that is neglected?  How do you provide an opportunity to see your town in a new way?”Against a national backdrop poisoned by femicides, border politics, and the equally toxic influence of cartels, Fernanda Canales is making democratic life in underserved Mexican communities more feasible through her highly user-sensitive and socializing designs.   
The Mexico City-based architect tells the New York Times&#039; Sam Lubell of her contributions to the government’s $2 billion Programa de Mejoramiento Urbano (or P.M.U.) program, &quot;They will survive local circumstances — issues of budgets, politics and vandalism,&quot; adding that &quot;Over time, the public starts to make decisions and inject life. Things change and adapt. Time teaches us what prevails. Often it’s what we can’t imagine now.&quot;
Canales was also one of a century profiled in RIBA’s new 100 Women: Architects in Practice, which came out in January and has been reviewed favorably as an essential guide to future equality in the profession. She has been teaching at the UT Austin School of Architecture since the Fall after seeing ... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ As the architecture community anticipates the official Pritzker Prize announcement this Tuesday, our team at Archinect has been fully immersed in the whirlwind of predictions and speculations. A few days ago we published a roundup of forecasts from the Archinect community, highlighting potential winners such as Moshe Safdie, Barclay Crousse, Eyal Weizman/Forensic Architecture, Thomas Heatherwick, H arquitectes, and Johnston Marklee, to name just a few. This curiosity led to an idea for a fun experiment: consult with various Artificial Intelligence models to gauge their insights on the prestigious award&#039;s 2024 recipient. Initiating conversations with four leading LLM models—ChatGPT 4, Google Gemini, Anthropic&#039;s Claude 2, and Perplexity—I navigated the sometimes hilariously clumsy, but mostly very interesting &quot;thoughts&quot; from our AI frenemies. Each of the models ended up predicting different winners, but there&#039;s a common theme with all of the selections that you&#039;ll notice.

<description><![CDATA[ The American Institute of Architects has selected 96 member architects and 2 non-member architects to the AIA College of Fellows.
A jury of seven-member fellows led by Chair Lisa Lamkin of Brown Reynolds Watford Architects was responsible for the selection process, which vets architects up for consideration for the College of Fellows. The Honorary Fellows were selected by a separate nine-person panel chaired by Sandra Barclay. Each new fellow will be honored at the AIA Awards Gala held June 7th at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C.
To gain admission, candidates must have at least ten years of AIA membership and demonstrated influence in at least one of the six broad areas, including the advancement standards of practice, promotion of different efficiencies, higher living standards for the built environment, and pursuit of an architecture that is in service to society.

<guid>https://archiecho.com/archinect-readers-predict-the-2024-pritzker-prize-winner</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Our annual Archinect readers’ predictions for this year’s Pritzker Architecture Prize have once again spurred a lively discussion forum thread full of guesses as to which architect will become the 53rd official laureate when the prize is announced on Tuesday, March 5.
Last year, our social media polls had the eventual winner, David Chipperfield, over a group of frontrunners that mostly carried over to 2024, namely Jeanne Gang, Kengo Kuma, and Bjarke Ingels.
Alejandro Aravena (also the 2016 Pritzker laureate) is the jury chair for the sixth consecutive year, joined by the prize’s Executive Director Manuela Lucá-Dazio; Columbia GSAPP professor Barry Bergdoll; Yale SoA dean Deborah Berke; retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer; the critic and Brazilian Ambassador to India André Aranha Corrêa do Lago; and the 2010 and 2012 laureates Kazuyo Sejima and Wang Shu.

<title>NCARB updates ARE 5.0 Guidelines</title>
<link>https://archiecho.com/ncarb-updates-are-50-guidelines</link>
<guid>https://archiecho.com/ncarb-updates-are-50-guidelines</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) has shared an update to its official ARE guidelines effective this week (February 27).
The updated ARE 5.0 Guidelines include changes to exam security policies and the ARE 5.0 Reference Guide. The revision also covers new building code references and the retirement of quantitative-fill-in-the-blank (QFIB) items that were announced previously in December. 
A new set of exam data forensics protocols has been introduced to enhance existing data analysis. NCARB notes this will impact the timing of test scores results being released. Official score reports will now take between seven and ten days to process. Exam security and candidate misconduct policies have been updated as well.

<description><![CDATA[ The Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation (BWAF)’s search for a new organizational leader has culminated in the appointment of Tizziana Baldenebro as its next executive director following a national search that began this fall.
Baldenebro, who replaces the long-tenured and well-admired Cynthia Phifer Kracauer, has past experience as the director of SPACES, a 45-year-old nonprofit that was founded to encourage community engagement with the arts in northeast Ohio.
Baldenebro was, along with other members of SPACES, most recently a co-curator of last year’s U.S. Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale and comes to the position informed by her childhood in Los Angeles and subsequent experiences in cities like Detroit, Cleveland, and Chicago. 
&quot;We are thrilled to welcome Tizziana to our organization as she takes the helm in guiding us through our next phase of growth and advancement in championing women in architecture, engineering, construction, and related fields,&quot; Angelica T. Ba... ]]></description>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/oliver-wainwright-on-ribas-100-women-architects-in-practice-a-new-primer-for-industry-wide-change</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ We’re not there yet. In an industry where the gender pay gap has widened in recent years, where all-male panels at conferences are not unusual, and where macho culture still prevails on building sites, a book like this, sadly, still has a place.Writing for The Guardian, critic Oliver Wainwright says he hopes RIBA’s new publication 100 Women: Architects in Practice, which we previewed in December, will encourage competition judges, academic panels, awards juries, exhibitions organizers, and rebuke “the headhunters who claim women never apply, [...] the clients who say they just can’t find women with the right experience.”
Many of the architects included in the book, namely Mariam Kamara, Suhailey Farzana, and others, are women whose practices are informed by and in service to decolonization in the developing world à la the 2023 RIBA Gold Medal winner Yasmeen Lari and 2021 Soane Medalist Marina Tabassum. (The profiles are divided into 18 geographical &quot;sub-regions&quot; based on the UN&#039;s geoscheme.)
The 320-page book was written by Harriet Harriss, Naomi House, Monika Parrinder, and Tom Ravenscroft, with Alison Brooks responsible for the foreword. ]]></description>

<title>Preserving the legacy of William Sidney Pittman, the &amp;apos;first Black architect of Texas&amp;apos;</title>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/preserving-the-legacy-of-william-sidney-pittman-the-first-black-architect-of-texas</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Many of his designs sit within historic Black neighborhoods with African American historical and cultural institutions. At the Glen Oaks Cemetery in South Dallas, Pittman’s grave marker reminds visitors why his buildings are significant points of interest—after all, he was the “first Black architect of Texas.”The building legacy of William Sidney Pittman, who arrived in Dallas from Washington, D.C., right before World War I, stands at only seven surviving structures. UT Austin School of Architecture assistant professor Tara A. Dudley says: “His arrival provided African Americans in Texas access to a professional architect within the race — as opposed to relying on white architects as most did — and who, as a Black man, understood the needs and requirements of the African American community.”
Pittman, who was also a tremendously incisive polemic writer and early inspiration for Paul Revere Williams, died in March of 1958 with a portfolio of fifteen completed buildings in the state. Dudley and others are now ardently at work preserving his legacy there and in D.C. (where his 1912 Anthony Bowen YMCA design still stands). As she tells Texas Highways, “[His] work needs to be preserved for future generations as a testament to his significance in the profession of architecture in the U.S. in th... ]]></description>

<title>Rowan Moore declares an aversion to Heatherwick’s London BT Tower hospitality makeover</title>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/rowan-moore-declares-an-aversion-to-heatherwicks-london-bt-tower-hospitality-makeover</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Its sale, for £275m, by BT to a hotel group, if it gives the tower a secure future, is welcome. I’m more troubled by the reports that the designer Thomas Heatherwick is to “repurpose” the building. His past work shows that he’s not one to leave well alone, but rather festoon structures with over-sized flower-pots and look-at-me swirling shapes. One can only hope that he discovers some restraint. The BT Tower is already an icon. It’s perfect. Let it be.Readers will remember the critic&#039;s jabs at Heatherwick last fall after the publication of his new treatise on architecture and mental health, wherein Moore declared “an outbreak of shallow wannabe Gaudís” will follow in tow should the call-to-action be adopted. 
That provocation isn&#039;t the first or even second time Moore has harshed the Vessel designer&#039;s creative schemes for the capital. In its defense, Heatherwick Studio has yet to detail any of the architectural extravagances Moore is lamenting after the project&#039;s February 22nd announcement. 
Previously on Archinect: London’s BT Tower to be converted into a hotel by Heatherwick following MCR purchaseThe conservation group C20 Society has offered its support for the £275 million project. If history is any guide, MCR&#039;s previous re-use of the TWA Hotel at JFK should steer the project away from any gauche gesturing and towards the Swinging London era anachronisms Moore champions nostalgically as &quot;hopeful futurism.&quot;... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The Serralves Foundation in Porto, Portugal, has shared photos of its recently inaugurated new wing designed by and named for the country’s beloved Pritzker Prize-winning architect, Álvaro Siza.
The 45,000-square-foot expansion is the fifth building designed by Siza for the foundation after the Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art (1999), Manoel de Oliveira Cinema House (2019), Gardeners’ House (2021), and the restored Serralves Art Déco Villa (2021). 
&quot;With a wing dedicated to the Permanent Collection and Architecture, the Serralves Museum is more than ever an institution where the present is fully activated and where the recent past is settled and decanted. It allows the institution to fully take responsibility for its history and legacy, as well as for its role as the leading institution in Portugal dedicated to the history and the present of contemporary art and culture,&quot; Director Philippe Vergne stated.

<description><![CDATA[ Leddy Maytum Stacy Architects has announced the passing of its founding principal Marsha Ann Maytum at the age of 69 following her battle with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). She is being remembered as a champion of environmental concerns and the holistic approach to architectural design. Her colleagues will also remember a quiet leader whose steadfast effort brought the firm national attention on the way to several major awards, including the 2017 AIA Firm Award and multiple AIA COTE Top Tenhonors.
“Marsha’s vision, mentorship, and generative force to get things done lifted many of us, helping us to see and realize the positive change that is possible. She helped us understand what we — and architects together — can do to change the world and empower the next generation,” HKS Principal Julie Hiromoto wrote in a statement Leddy Maytum Stacy Architects published Tuesday.

<description><![CDATA[ A renovation of the historic Paul Revere Williams-designed Blind Children’s Center (BCC) is underway in Los Angeles. The 80-year-old structure that preceded Williams’s seminal St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis and other hospital designs in Southern California by twenty years is now being remodeled and modernized to match the expanded needs of the BCC community for a new century.
Williams had been living in his now landmarked first residence in Jefferson Park at the time of his commissioning for the project. His design gave the nonprofit its first permanent home during a period of rampant discrimination, thus serving as a built testament to inclusivity.

<description><![CDATA[ In the second to last installment of the Deans List in 2023, Paul Petrunia explores the vision of Quilian Riano, newly appointed at Pratt Institute&#039;s School of Architecture. 
Orhan Ayyüce appreciates how &quot;Quilian always preached and expanded on community impact on architecture. ‘His legacy’ from my point of view, would be a perpetual citizen architect for doing the talk and the walk for the greater good.&quot;
Plus, Niall Patrick Walsh spoke with Alisa Andrasek about &quot;the relationship between computation, data, and architecture&quot; et al.

<title>Shigeru Ban and the Voluntary Architects&amp;apos; Network pitch in on earthquake relief efforts in western Japan</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Shigeru Ban and the Voluntary Architects&#039; Network (VAN) are once again in action deploying their patented Paper Partition System in the wake of the recent 7.7 magnitude quake that struck western Japan in the early hours of New Year’s Day.
The indoor privacy system that the Pritzker Prize winner first devised in the late 1980s and deployed later in response to the 1995 Kobe earthquake was installed recently at a gymnasium in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture. The Prefecture is currently home to an estimated 26,000 shelter seekers, according to local reports. 
Image courtesy Voluntary Architects&#039; Network via FacebookThe VAN’s response is thus critical towards bolstering local relief efforts in the area that continues to suffer damage as a product of the more than 60 smaller quakes that have continued as recently as two days ago — potentially displacing hundreds or even thousands more.

<description><![CDATA[ Charlie Thornton, the well-admired structural engineer, co-founder and CEO of Thornton Tomasetti, passed away in early December at the age of 83, according to his firm. 
The Bronx-born Thornton began his career in the New York offices of Lev Zetlin Associates before pursuing a new venture with Richard Tomasetti after 1977. What followed was a long and decorated career in building, with the world’s first supertall designs — Malaysia’s Petronas Towers and the Taipei 101 in Taiwan — among the signature projects in a globe-spanning portfolio that would later include One Liberty Place in Philadelphia, the forthcoming Jeddah Tower in Saudi Arabia, and the delivery of new Yankee Stadium in his hometown. 
“Charlie was a visionary, foreseeing the needs of structural engineering, our clients, the building industry and the public it serves,” Tomasetti said in a firm statement. “He was equally dedicated to mentoring everyone in our firm, our partners, and future generations through his founding... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The American Institute of Architects&#039; New York Chapter (AIANY) recently welcomed its new leadership team for the year 2024 via a special ceremony that also saw the inauguration of architect Greg Switzer as the first-ever Black president in the organization’s 167-year history.
Switzer will be actively engaging with the organizational theme Belonging and Beyond, which encourages the development of a human-centric approach to designing for better social cohesion and physical health in the built environment.
The AIA shares: “The 2024 AIANY presidential theme, &#039;Belonging and Beyond,&#039; centers on a crucial aspect of human well-being that improves physical and social-emotional health and resilience for individuals and communities. &#039;Belonging&#039; refers to a deep connection with social groups, physical places, and individual and collective experiences. This year’s theme calls for us to be intentional about inclusion by listening and workshopping ideas worth advocating for and amplifying. &#039;Belon... ]]></description>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/david-chipperfield-has-big-plans-for-the-expansion-of-miamis-design-district</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A new project from this year’s Pritzker Prize laureate, David Chipperfield, was announced recently as the architect of a new western expansion plan for the Design District in Miami.
Local developer Craig Robbins made the news public in earlier December via Instagram. The plan will reportedly include a high-end luxury hotel, a residential component, and an undisclosed total of retail spaces. No further details of the project have been publicized. Chipperfield spoke to his vision briefly during an impromptu sit-down with critic Paul Goldberger at the Design Miami fair. 
 

“I think [it has] a very interesting context, because [the district] has grown out of a pre-existing fabric in an organic way. There’s been a sort of intelligent reuse of buildings in a rather agile way,” he said, speaking to the appeal of working in the transformed district and the difference between the European cities he&#039;s worked in and Miami. “I think it’s very interesting now to be doing a project there, which ... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Wrapping up a year in the wake of the recently concluded COP28 UN climate summit that resulted in, well, mild levels of agreement on the role of fossil fuels, it is possible to sense a slightly increased urgency toward this most pressing planetary issue on a high-minded diplomatic level. As we&#039;re quickly approaching the quarter mark of the 21st century, however, much more concrete action and innovation in various sectors of the AEC domain is needed — and is already happening — on the ground level as well, as we have seen in our reporting on Archinect.
Continuing with our 2023 Year in Review series, let&#039;s take a look back at some of the story highlights focusing on decarbonization efforts, material research, policy implementation, and successful applications of sustainability principles this year.

<description><![CDATA[ Besides winning the commission, getting planning approved, breaking ground, and having that invoice paid, no milestone in an architectural project is as anticipated and satisfying as the opening celebration — welcoming actual building occupants into the new space after months, years, or even decades of collaborative work.
2023 saw plenty of projects around the globe reach completion. From shiny new skyscrapers in Manhattan to parametric cultural centers in China to sustainable classrooms in Denmark, here are some of our highlights from Archinect&#039;s news coverage this year.

<description><![CDATA[ The death of an architect offers the opportunity to reflect on past icons while narrating their careers through architecture with the thoughts of their peers and a list of achievements in tow. Looking back, we recount lives in the field all too often simplified into being preeminent or respected with their outputs, like the state of architecture, being too far spread and impermanent to ever adequately explain. 
In 2022, we saw the passing of many foundational figures in the industry. This year, we add more familiar names as we remember their work and legacy as part of our annual Year in Review rundown.
Below are some of the influential architects, landscape architects, and industry leaders we lost in 2023.

<description><![CDATA[ Carlo Ratti has been named as Director of the 19th International Architecture Exhibition at the 2025 La Biennale di Venezia by the fair’s Board of Directors and at the recommendation of current and future Presidents Roberto Cicutto and Pietrangelo Buttafuoco.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor and director of Carlo Ratti Associati follows Lesley Lokko’s turn as the 2023 Venice Biennale Architecture curator. 
Ratti will lean on past curatorial experiences with the Future Food District pavilion at Expo 2015 Milan; the Strelka Institute for Media, Architecture and Design in Moscow; and the second Porto Design Biennale in 2021 to inform his creative direction for the exhibition. A focus on the growing influence of technology on design and urban planning will most likely follow, culminating in an impressive intellectual output that has seen him write or co-author more than 750 different research publications. 
Previewing his direction, Ratti said: “We architects like to ... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Coverage of the architecture industry and its (very) many discontents often delves into conflicts that reflect movements for change in the arts, law, academia, and business culture. The value of focusing on these stories at year&#039;s end extends beyond their subjects and results in a critical analysis of how far we still have to go in each area. Once again, the past year of news has provided us with a useful mix of lessons that help define the current state of architecture. Below is a look at some of the biggest controversies of 2023.
What would ordinarily be the year’s biggest architectural media event, the 2023 Venice Biennale, unfolded with nearly as many critiques and false starts concerned with its execution and curators as it had compelling artistic feats and worthy demonstrations of the power of design.
Patrik Schumacher’s wrought Facebook invective decrying a supposed lack of architecture at the exhibition had too many constituent parts and counterarguments (for example, the in... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Proactive measures to prevent a repeat of the recent misconduct saga that led to the firing of former Architect of the Capitol Brett Blanton have been introduced in Congress as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for the upcoming fiscal year.
Under the new bipartisan legislation, Congress would have the sole power to fire any future officeholders for the first time. Its language provides for the establishment of a special oversight commission that would both hire and remove permanent appointees, who currently serve at the pleasure of the sitting president. Advocates say it could potentially help fill the vacancy left in the wake of Blanton’s dismissal earlier this year and help buck an even longer trend of successive appointment delays that dates to the mid-90s.
New York representative Joseph D. Morelle said it “just seemed as though the system needs to be designed to protect the interests of the people here — members, staff … and everyday Americans who come to the... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The American Institute of Architects (AIA) celebrated a significant organizational milestone with the inauguration of Kimberly Dowdell as its AIA National President for 2024. 
The AIA&#039;s 100th president overall is also the first-ever Black woman to head the post, following in the wake of 2023 President Emily Grandstaff-Rice.
At an inauguration ceremony last Friday, December 15th, the Cornell University and Harvard Kennedy School alumna who formerly headed the National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA) from 2019 to 2020, said: &quot;Being elected as the 100th president of AIA is both an honor and responsibility that I embrace wholeheartedly.”
“My journey in architecture, from my roots in Detroit to this influential role, has deepened my conviction that design has the power to transform communities and elevate the human experience,” she continued. “This opportunity to serve my profession beautifully aligns with my overarching mission to improve people&#039;s lives through design, foster... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum has announced the appointment of Amy Hau as its next Director.
The appointment continues a more than thirty-year working relationship that first began in 1986 when Hau was hired as an assistant at the then one-year-old Long Island City, Queens institution. 
Hau left the museum in 2015 to serve as the Managing Principal of New York’s WXY Architecture. Before that time, she had been credited with overseeing a restorative $23 million capital campaign and the development of a new master plan for the campus. Hau has held titles including Administrative Director, Assistant to the Executive Director, and Assistant to Isamu Noguchi during her first tenure and will lean on additional experience on Queens&#039; Community Board 1 and several other local cultural groups in the execution of her new duties.
“Amy represents not only the profound legacy of the Museum but also embodies its dynamic, polyvocal future,” Spencer Bailey, the museum board’s co-cha... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) have announced a continuation of the professional partnership that, put together, impacts more than 140,000 architects in the U.S. and UK combined.
In order to foster collaboration and strive towards better professional work environments and the improvement of the built environment overall, the two groups signed a Memorandum of Understanding that they say will ensure better sharing of knowledge and resources while taking measures to simplify practice areas in both countries.
“AIA is looking forward to our continued cooperation with the RIBA. To create a stronger, more resilient, and equitable world, architects will need to work together, and our relationship will serve to both foster and reflect this collaboration amongst our esteemed members,” AIA EVP/Chief Executive Officer, Lakisha Ann Woods, said at the declaration.

<description><![CDATA[ Just in time for the holiday gift-giving season, a new survey of the 100 most influential women architects working in our time is set to hit the shelves courtesy of the Royal Institute of British Architects.
The organization’s new title, 100 Women: Architects in Practice, intends to champion the cause of gender equity in architecture while promoting the contributions of often overlooked or unheralded women architects in more than 70 different countries. 
“We wrote this book as a form of peaceful protest not a bloody revolution,” authors Harriet Harriss, Naomi House, Monika Parrinder, and Tom Ravenscroft detailed in the RIBA Journal. “It is the inequitable product of an inequitable profession, and all four authors eagerly await the day when the need for publications like this are rendered obsolete. When that day comes, it will mean that the perennial problem of gender-prejudice in architecture is a thing of the past.”

<description><![CDATA[ The Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) has just announced its acquisition of architect Toyo Ito’s early-career archive.  
The trove entails drawings, models, and sketches related to his practice Toyo Ito &amp; Associates, Architects (founded as Urban Robot) from 1971 until 1989. The CCA says the donation will help researchers establish a better through line from his early-career work in dialogue with its other archival holdings. The decision was made in September after 82-year-old Ito apparently determined he could not find an “appropriate place” in his home country in which to store the collection, according to The Yomiuri Shimbun. 
In a press announcement, Ito said: “The CCA is an architectural museum and research center I have the utmost trust in.

<description><![CDATA[ Jerome Markson, the 2022 RAIC Gold Medalist and modern social housing pioneer whose influence was felt widely across Canada, died in Toronto on Saturday, November 18, The Globe and Mail reported. He was 94 years old. 
Markson will be remembered as a progressive architect who affected the post-1970s immigration boom in Greater Toronto through humane and uplifting designs for The Smith Residence (1955), Market Square Condominiums (1980), Group Health Centre in Sault Ste. Marie (1962), and Alexandra Park Public Housing (1965), among others.
“His work epitomizes a deep caring towards those who will use and enjoy his projects as well as the communities in which they exist. Many architects will offer praise by referring to colleagues as an ‘architect’s architect’. Jerome Markson is certainly deserving of the title ‘planner’s architect’ — quite possibly a more difficult and exceptional achievement within the profession,” the jury citation for last year’s RAIC Gold Medal states concisely.  ... ]]></description>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/tadao-andos-mpavilion-opens-in-melbourne</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Tadao Ando’s oasis-like design for the MPavilion 10 has been revealed in Melbourne to coincide with the five-month commission’s grand opening this Thursday.
Photos taken ahead of the opening ceremonies reveal the intimacy of the low-profile structure in the city’s Queen Victoria Gardens, which includes a reflecting pool in homage to traditional Japanese gardens. Enclosed concrete perimeter walls frame an aluminum-clad single-column main structure covered by a 47-foot-wide roof. 
Its production creates a sequence that plays on the architect’s career-long fascination with light and darkness. Ando said previously that he considers the design &quot;eternal, not in material or structure but in the memory of a landscape that will continue to live in people’s hearts.&quot;

“My debts are enormous,” he began in stating. “I’m thankful for this prize but even more thankful for the wonderful journey that got me here... Architectural practice depends not only on creative talent but just as much on the collaboration of individuals within the studio and without. It has been a journey of privilege.”

<title>Sarvodaya Hospital</title>
<link>https://archiecho.com/sarvodaya-hospital</link>
<guid>https://archiecho.com/sarvodaya-hospital</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Sarvodaya Hospital, Greater Noida | Creative Designer Architects 
Repurposing urban infrastructure to improve healthcare accessibility

Sarvodaya Hospital is a 300-bedded super-speciality hospital located in the heart of the densely populated urban hub of the National Capital Region, Delhi that addresses the problem of deficient healthcare facilities in the region. Identifying this urban gap, Sarvodaya Healthcare, along with Creative Designer Architects, transformed an existing mixed-use commercial building into a state-of-the-art hospital. 

With a strong emphasis on minimizing environmental impact, the project goes beyond sustainability standards in the building industry by adaptively repurposing the structure – cutting down on energy, resources and time that goes into the building from ground up. The fit-out works at Sarvodaya Hospital were completed in a span of 11 months, reducing construction costs and a higher return on investment for the healthcare provider and enabling high-quality, accessible healthcare for the community. 

Addressing the Healthcare Gap
Until last year, Greater Noida, which has an exorbitant population density of close to 25,000 people per sq. km, had no quality healthcare facility in close vicinity, impelling people to travel to Noida or New Delhi in forage of quality clinical care. The design of Sarvodaya Hospital is an in-depth experiment to substantiate the argument of the potency that brownfield projects offer, especially in healthcare. While the project goals and their suitability to pursue brownfield sites vary across hospitals, what it brings for certain, is high value in terms of swiftly addressing the lacunae of deficient healthcare infrastructure and promoting communal health and well-being as these are mostly amidst dense urban fabrics. 

Design Challenges
Initially conceived as a commercial mixed-use facility, the original structure housed bustling shops on the lower floors, while the upper floors remained vacant office spaces. The planning of this commercial block was a tripartite form – a central node connecting three separate blocks. The challenge was to design a highly efficient hospital within the constraints of an already operational commercial center. The compact and disparate blocks presented limitations in terms of connectivity and seamless planning of medical departments. 

Seamless Transitions, Zoning and Operational Efficiency
To address this challenge, these blocks are connected by adding eight-foot-wide corridors at various locations to facilitate seamless transitions and movements for patients, doctors, and staff. These corridors are planned along interior courtyards that allow abundant daylight to flood these transition zones, enhance wayfinding and elevate the overall user experience in the hospital&#039;s interior spaces.

To further improve operational efficiency, vertical zoning of various departments in the hospital integrates multiple facets of technology and specialized infrastructure. Adjoining the existing commercial and retail stores, the ground floor houses the double-height reception, waiting area and cafeteria. The floors above accommodate outpatient departments, such as outpatient nephrology and gastroenterology. The third floor caters to mother-and-child services, while critical care and surgery are placed on the fourth floor. The strategic division of departments ensures rapid access to surgical suites and imaging facilities. This targeted placement enhances the speed and efficiency of emergency response, saving precious time during critical moments. 

The fifth floor and beyond are dedicated to in-patient units on higher floors, thus ensuring comprehensive care within the hospital&#039;s premises. The design of these in-patient rooms with larger windows, natural light, panoramic views of the city and muted color palettes stem from evidence-based design principles to promote the healing and well-being of patients and caregivers alike. 

Healing Design
Standardizing design elements, such as patient room headwalls, footwalls, and wall claddings, helped reduce cost and accelerate execution. Drywall construction and adhesive technology for finishes, along with the application of pre-designed systems like PVC panels, wall coverings, and claddings, also helped cut down construction time. 

A semi-unitized façade system that further helped cut down on construction time was installed in a mere span of three months. This architectural approach set the hospital apart from the neighboring residential buildings, creating a distinctive, refreshing aesthetic that defies convention.

Mechanical services posed their own set of challenges, particularly regarding heights, which are often inherent in brownfield projects. The deck-to-deck height of 3450 mm and the beam bottom of 2850 mm on the IPD (in-patient department) floors made the augmentation of ducted FCUs (fan coil units) difficult. To address this challenge, ducted cassette units e ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The haunting Halloween decorations created by Tom Saltsman, a CalArts and Harvard GSD graduate and the Principal of Boston-based firm SaltsmanBrenzel, are taking the spotlight once again in the architect&#039;s own driveway. 
Saltsman says the inspiration for his crowd-pleasing designs stems from a desire to create perspective illusions of the home he and his fellow architect wife own in Marblehead, Massachusetts. He has been harkening his background in fine arts to create designs for trolls, a shipwreck, and other sculptural decor. He also told WBUR it takes the family and their fleet of volunteer builders months to plan and complete. Some have been realized at costs under $200.

<guid>https://archiecho.com/groundbreaking-conceptual-artist-robert-irwin-dies-at-95</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Robert Irwin, a pioneering conceptual artist and leading figure of the Light and Space movement whose work had significant influences in architecture, passed away last night in San Diego. He was 95.
Irwin helped push the boundaries of American post-war art with his understanding of the principles of design. Along with a cohort of artists like James Turrell, Richard Serra, Larry Bell, and Donald Judd, Irwin worked to constantly challenge the perception of his viewers. He left behind painting to pursue a “conditional art” that espoused a further shift away from pictorial composition and towards the responsiveness of art objects to the context of a site.
Irwin’s collaborative site-conditioned work with institutions such as the Whitney Museum of American Art, Dia Art Foundation, and LACMA set new precedents for the inclusion of living artists in a museum’s program, the influence of which today can be seen in the careers of Marina Abramović and Isaac Julien, among others.

<description><![CDATA[ The design for the John Morden Centre in Blackheath, London, by Mæ has just been announced as the winner of the 2023 Stirling Prize by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA).
The country’s new ‘Best New Building’ honor was bestowed to the 22-year-old firm’s redesign of the elder care facility located on the site of Grade I-listed Morden College, the original design for which dates to the 1690s and has been attributed to the period’s most significant architect, Sir Christopher Wren. 
Photo: Jim StephensonThe scope of the project involved creating a more sociable, physically active, and less isolating atmosphere in which residents can age in place gracefully. With dramatic effect, the overhaul consolidates formerly diffuse functions at the non-profit care facility into a series of brick pavilions that are connected by the construction of a central timber colonnade.

<description><![CDATA[ Alison Killing, the British-born and Netherlands-based designer who in 2021 was named the first-ever architect to win the Pulitzer Prize, has been tapped to lead a new visual investigations unit supported by the Financial Times. The paper announced the appointment on Thursday. 
Killing will work under the title Senior Investigations Reporter and expand on a body of work that includes the Putlizer-winning investigation for The New York Times into Muslim detention camps operating in China’s Xinjiang province. The published reporting led the country to withdraw from this year’s Venice Biennale while shedding light on the difficulties journalists and human rights advocates face in performing open-source research in authoritarian regimes across the world.
Killing was educated in the UK and later immigrated to the Netherlands to found her practice Killing Architects in 2010. The financial downturn of the time caused her to venture into curation and researching vacant buildings. She would ... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Architect Stefano Boeri has responded to charges of alleged bid-rigging in relation to his role as the jury chair for a 2022 competition to design the new European Library of Information and Culture (BEIC) in Milan.
The 66-year-old Boeri told the Italian news agency ANSA this week, “I am calm and confirm my complete willingness to cooperate with the competent authorities to provide all the information in my possession in order to clarify a situation that I find unbelievable,” before saying he would not provide any further comments at this time. 
The allegations were made public as news of an investigation on the part of local tax police broke earlier in the week. Boeri’s role in the investigation remains unclear, however, the “conflict of interest” at the center of the case reportedly includes “false declarations regarding the identity or personal qualities of oneself or others.” The connection architects Angelo Raffaele Lunati and Giancarlo Floridi, whose firm Onsitestudio was awar... ]]></description>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/harriet-pattison-landscape-architect-and-longtime-louis-kahn-collaborator-dies-at-94</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Harriet Pattison, a noted American landscape architect who worked closely with her romantic partner Louis Kahn, passed away in Philadelphia last week, according to their son, filmmaker Nathaniel Kahn. She was 94.
Pattison enjoyed a career that spanned more than thirty years, working predominantly in Maine and Pennsylvania before she pursued her own path following the death of Kahn in 1974. Pattison studied landscape architecture at the University of Pennsylvania after working briefly in Dan Kiley’s Vermont-based practice. She would later go on to work alongside Kahn on the Kimbell Art Museum and Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park projects through a position with George Erwin Patton. Pattison was also inducted as a Fellow of the American Society of Landscape Architects in 2016.

<title>NPR on sponge cities, Kongjian Yu, and the future of flood mitigation</title>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/npr-on-sponge-cities-kongjian-yu-and-the-future-of-flood-mitigation</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Almost all of China&#039;s medium and large cities are now susceptible to floods. And [Kongjian] Yu says 60% of them experience flooding every year. Extreme weather from climate change is exacerbating the problem.

So Yu has been evangelizing a solution he calls &quot;sponge cities.&quot; That is, urban landscapes that are softer and purposely designed to absorb more water.

Gareth Doherty, an associate professor of landscape architecture at Harvard University, says the concept is revolutionary.The contributions of Turenscape founder Kongjian Yu to the development of the so-called “Sponge City” concept date to the mid-90s, stemming from a near-death experience in his childhood home of Jinhua. He says that by the end of the decade, roughly 80% of Chinese cities will now be adequately equipped by the measures. However, just under 10% of the country&#039;s mid- to large-sized cities had any plans to implement the concept by the start of the year, according to Reuters.
The need for better stormwater strategies has since been proven in New York City and other low-lying American metros, too, with $2.6 billion worth of funding specifically included in the 2021 Federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill to combat the problem. Copenhagen is seen as a world leader in the concept after experiencing a tumultuous 2011 cloudburst that led to a two-part system of expanded sewers and over 300 surface catchment projects. 
Still, Yu says the reliance on concrete and technological solutions remains a... ]]></description>

<title>Architectural job market expected to increase 5% by 2032, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says</title>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/architectural-job-market-expected-to-increase-5-by-2032-us-bureau-of-labor-statistics-says</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A new report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has predicted a period of growth of job seekers in the architectural field, providing a possible sign of hope for the labor market at a time when economic downturn and the rise of artificial intelligence have spurred fears of an employment crisis in the industry within the next decade.
Data that was released in last week’s Economic Outlook Report predicts a 5% increase in the number of architects employed in the overall economy by the year 2032. A total of 8,200 jobs will be added per year over that timespan on average, according to the report. The figures indicate a faster job growth rate for architects versus other occupations in the country. The Bureau says the demand stems mostly from a need to replace workers who will either retire or exit the architectural workforce entirely.
During that time, the total number of architects working in the United States is expected to grow from 123,700 to 129,700. That’s more than the 119,90... ]]></description>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/christopher-hawthorne-goes-1-on-1-with-peter-zumthor-in-lacma-makeover-preview</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Zumthor describes the wing as “a concrete sculpture,” with floors, walls and ceilings of exposed concrete. There will be bronze surrounds on the window and door openings throughout the building. When I visited Haldenstein, he and his colleagues were weighing final choices for the color palette of the walls at the base of the new wing, inside the various legs. “Lively, not dark colors, to give identity to different spaces,” he said. “And then you come up into this world of concrete.”Ahead of next year’s anticipated completion, Peter Zumthor says his sculptural new David Geffen Galleries at LACMA will be bereft of the most recognizable traces of his Pritzker-winning design signature — a claim the museum&#039;s director Michael Govan then refuted. The man who once said, “the real core of all architectural work lies in the act of construction,” pointed to a faulty concrete pour at the outset and difficulties with the site’s foundation as factors that forced his design to be streamlined. The paring down of the overpass-like wing connector that covers Wilshire Boulevard was another point of contention.
Critics like Mimi Zeiger have described the project as “environmentally tone-deaf.” Hawthorne has thus far withheld any criticisms of his own, preferring to cover the project through a more explanatory journalism. 
Construction on the new building is now 65% complete as of October 1st. The article mentioned the new wing may not be fully opened to the public until 2026.... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Trailblazing architect, industrial designer, and inclusion advocate Beverly Willis passed away on October 1st in Connecticut from complications related to Parkinson’s disease, the New York Times reported on Monday. She was 95.
The founder of the Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation leaves behind a legacy of wide-reaching philanthropic efforts, espousing throughout her career the position of women in the architectural and engineering trades. She pursued a prescient design agenda and building activities that served as valuable early lessons in the development of accessibility concepts, adaptive reuse, historic preservation, and sustainable design.
Willis was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1928, coming of age in a post-war America defined by “self-made people” and influenced heavily by figures such as Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright. She studied engineering at Oregon State University before transferring to the University of Hawaii to complete a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and then ... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) has released information containing guidelines for architects attempting to find work authorizations in the United Kingdom through the newly-signed Mutual Recognition Agreement between them and the Architects Registration Board (ARB).
The two systems now offer registered architects in each country the chance to obtain reciprocal licensure and pursue contracts after a four-year-long research and negotiation process determined their educational and professional work experience in both are compatible side-by-side.
Speaking in February, NCARB&#039;s CEO Michael Armstrong said the agreement will “enhance the value of the NCARB Certificate as a facilitator of domestic and international mobility for many U.S.-licensed practitioners.”
Under the new agreement, architects must hold a valid license in their home country, hold a work visa or other permissions in the location where they are operating, and either an NCARB or ARB certifi... ]]></description>

This is the third such deployment in the past four months and follows Ban’s contribution to the Turkish response effort after the February earthquake that destroyed more than 160,000 structures there and in Syria. The National Architecture School of Marrakech is helping Ban coordinate the delivery of the shelters, which were first used following the 1995 earthquake in Kobe, Japan.

<title>Residence 414, Chandigarh</title>
<link>https://archiecho.com/residence-414-chandigarh</link>
<guid>https://archiecho.com/residence-414-chandigarh</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Residence 414, Chandigarh

To freeze emotion into architecture
To practice restraint of opening
To gain the strength of enclosure
To satiate spirit in the space
To celebrate life in dance

BRIEF: To design a house that ensures security for a single old lady &amp; her tenants.

SITE: The site is located in Panchkula (Haryana), a satellite town adjoining the border of Chandigarh.  Chandigarh city was designed by Le Corbusier and is a symbol of modernism in India. The site is in a newly developed plotted sector, adjacent to the Information &amp; Technology Park of Chandigarh.

CONCEPT: The layout was conceptualized as a free plan around a central courtyard. The levels &amp; accesses were carefully divided between the lady and the tenants to provide comfort &amp; privacy to all.
The architectural vocabulary is derived as a response to all the development happening in close proximity to the site and its neighborhood. The stark contrast of glass facades of the IT park on one hand and the old existing clusters and slums on the other hand were responded to by developing a blank facade, consisting of the most basic architectural element, the &#039;plane&#039;. The stacked planes convey the need to go back to the essentials of architecture in the midst of the insensitive development happening all around.
 
PLANNING:
The overall plan is organized around a central courtyard that interacts differently with the interior spaces on different levels. It is open &amp; accessible on the ground floor while the first floor has a ribbon ventilator to ensure privacy for the ground floor.

The lower level houses a bedroom for the old lady in the front and a guest room at the back. The open plan allows the public spaces like the living room, lobby and dining to flow into one another along with an open kitchen. A separate spice kitchen along with the other amenities has also been provided.
Since the ground level houses the primary occupant, the volumetric expansion was achieved by having a double height living area. Although the lady wanted to rent the upper floors, she was very keen to have the terrace to herself. This is made possible through access to a separate elevator that opens directly onto the terrace from her entrance foyer.

The first floor has a 3 bedroom unit and public areas that flow on to private terraces. The second floor houses a one-bedroom unit with an open pantry. It also has 2 separate units for the domestic help of the lower floors. They too have been given separate private terraces that are not visible in the façade to ensure the maintenance of privacy.

The parking and access for the lower floor is from the north-eastern side of the site while a separate parking and access to the upper levels is towards the south.

MATERIAL PALETTE:
The overall material palette is limited to only white marble &amp; Sivakasi gold granite along with simple white plastered surfaces. The flooring on the ground floor is white marble to ensure a luxurious feel while on the upper floors it is the same granite. The textures &amp; finishes on the granite have been explored using a number of traditional techniques &amp; craftsmanship. ]]></description>

<title>Charged Voids | Office 543, Mohali</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Charged Voids | Office 543, Mohali
Charged Voids constructs a compact granite office that opens skywards.
Located on a narrow, 140-sqm plot in a busy commercial district in Mohali, Punjab, Office 543 was designed by Charged Voids as a showcase for a builder’s construction company. The design of the office optimises the compact footprint with an approach based on simple programmatic needs. Only the most essential elements are employed for efficiency and spatial flexibility.

The commission blends the studio’s design philosophies with the client’s skills as a builder. With the building closed off from two sides, it was envisioned as a closed box with provisions for natural ventilation made through courtyards and multiple skylights. Amidst the hubbub of the busy street, a muted palette of white marble and Sivakasi gold granite lend a sense of calmness and character to the office’s façade. Careful gaps looking into the street are introduced in the façade, while the courtyards are used as a buffer between the interior and exterior. 

Inside, two walls intersecting in an ‘L’ configuration integrate the flow of space. The ground floor houses a small reception, the main office area and a private meeting room. Anchoring the space is an oval-shaped private meeting area emerging from the geometry of straight lines and an ellipse.

A floating metal staircase within the atrium connects the lobby to the first floor, which contains a terrace, workspaces and an office for the accounts team. The roof of the oval meeting room hosts a small spill-out.

Openings between the various rooms are designed to connect the office&#039;s narrow spaces with the two courtyards that are planted with small trees. These courtyards and skylights bring in the elements of nature—wind, light and vegetation—and break the rigid geometry of the building elements.

Designed to accommodate future expansion on the upper floors, the workspaces above are accessed by a separate staircase on the exterior. The material palette for the entire project is limited to white marble and Sivakasi gold granite, with the interior walls painted mostly white—creating a sense of seamlessness between the exterior and interior.


Short Description
Office 543 was designed by Charged Voids on a tight, 140-sqm plot in a busy commercial district in Mohali, Punjab. The narrow building, closed from two sides, has openings through two courtyards and multiple skylights, thereby maintaining optimum daylight and ventilation. An oval-shaped private meeting area emerges from the intersecting geometry of straight lines and an ellipse, resolving a complex design brief on the small footprint and creating a free-flowing spatial sequence.
Designed to accommodate future expansion on the upper floors, the workspaces above are accessed by a separate staircase on the exterior. The material palette for the entire project is limited to white marble and Sivakasi gold granite, with the interior walls painted mostly white—contributing to a sense of seamlessness between the exterior and interior. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ James Corner Field Operations will be continuing under a newly-announced partnership renamed Field Operations after 24 years in reflection of what it says are the diversity, character, and experience of its new leadership team and staff members.
The newly branded firm announced its transition from a sole proprietorship and has named Sarah Weidner Astheimer, Richard Kennedy, and Lisa Switkin as new Partners. They join Founding Partner James Corner and new Associate Partners Megan Born, Isabel Castilla, Tatiana Choulika, Matt Grunbaum, Jayyun Jung, Veronica Rivera, Karen Tamir, and Hong Zhou in the new partnership model, which they hope continues the success built on projects such as the New York High Line and San Francisco Presidio Tunnel Tops, among many others.

<description><![CDATA[ The Fund of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) has just announced its second class of the Women of Color Licensure Advancement Program recipients for 2023-2025.
The program provides each with a $3,500 stipend to cover the costs related to the Landscape Architectural Registration Exam (LARE), along with exam prep, other resources, and 1-on-1 mentorship experience from a licensed professional landscape architect.
Cornell AAP Associate Professor Valerie Aymer, Curtis + Rogers Design Principal Aida Curtis, and Alexandra Mei of the St. Louis-based Christner Architects selected ten winners of the program’s second cycle, which is funded by a $100,000 donation from former ASLA President Wendy Miller and three others from the Council of Landscape Architectural Registration Boards (CLARB).

<guid>https://archiecho.com/british-architects-registration-board-proposes-reformed-regulatory-approach-to-architectural-education-and-training</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The UK&#039;s Architects Registration Board (ARB) has published findings and recommendations from a three-month internal consultation aimed at suggesting a series of reforms to the education and professional licensure process for architects in the country.
The Board says it will now move to introduce new Academic and Practice outcomes along with some drafting amendments based on suggestions raised by the consultation&#039;s 672 respondents. 
Under the proposed changes, the requirement that licensed architects obtain a Part 1 (Bachelor’s) degree would be waived. Part 2 and Part 3 would also be phased out by 2027, replaced by the new 49-pronged ‘outcomes’ path. A one-year-long independent commission aimed at developing further changes to the practical experience component of the process has also been announced after a majority of members surveyed (60%) expressed concerns over dropping the current two-year professional practice requirement.

<description><![CDATA[ Renzo Piano Building Workshop (RPBW) has been announced as the winner of an international RFP process to deliver a new arts and innovation cultural project in Boca Raton, Florida.
The Italian studio beat out Foster + Partners, Ennead, and OMA for the commission of the new Center for Arts &amp; Innovation and will begin the design and development process next month toward an expected 2025 groundbreaking. The Center will be located in the city’s downtown core and offer local K-12 learners facilities equipped for STEAM education while providing much-needed cultural infrastructure. RPBW&#039;s proposal also calls for a six-venue program of flexible performance spaces with a capacity for up to 6,000 people.
“We have worked for the last five years to arrive at this milestone moment. The fact that this firm takes two to three commissions at any time in the year just underscores the fact that this project is that enticing to the global market,” the Center’s CEO, Andrea Virgin, indicated via a press ... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Not only is he an accused serial killer, Rex Heuermann is also a deadbeat boss, according to the state Department of Labor.

It filed suit Tuesday to recover nearly $70,000 in back wages, penalties and interest for stiffing a former executive assistant.Heuermann, an architect, was arrested in July on evidence that he was behind a trio of murders of women he met near his firm’s Midtown Manhattan offices and allegedly killed close by his Long Island home. Heuermann paid more than $16,000 on the original claim before defaulting, resulting in the fresh lawsuit. Part of the new claim includes over $33,000 in penalties and another $9,454.56 in interest.
His firm — RH Consultants &amp; Associates — has been the subject of scrutiny since Heuermann became a suspect. Tax liens and other investigations into his business dealings have also been publicized. An account from one former employee in New York magazine recently also detailed a culture of high stress and “creepy” behavior on the part of Heuermann’s. (His daughter, Victoria Heuermann, was also employed at the firm in an unknown capacity.) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Raymond Moriyama, a generational talent who greatly influenced the development of modern architecture in his native Canada, passed away on September 1st, according to his studio. He was 93 years old.
The founder of Moriyama Teshima Architects (MTA), Moriyama will be remembered for contributions such as the Ontario Science Centre, Canadian War Museum, and Bata Shoe Museum that were emblematic of his humanitarian commitments, personal experiences with multiculturalism, and social philosophy.

<description><![CDATA[ Muyiwa Oki has officially taken office as the first-ever Black President of the Royal Institute of British Architects, marking the end of Simon Allford’s tenure and heralding a new way forward for the 189-year-old organization as it aims itself toward a more progressive agenda.
The historic feat is added to by Oki&#039;s status as the youngest-ever architect to hold the title. The 32-year-old University of Sheffield graduate and Senior Architect at Mace Ltd was swept into office last year on a platform of change, including a mandate for compensation oversight, students’ mental health, and other pushes tied to his campaign promise of being a “drama-free president who enacts positive, ethical, and progressive change.”
Oki used his newfound platform to call for “a fundamental shift” in architecture, adding that the profession “must go further and faster on innovation and change, considering the scale and complexity of the challenges in society” in order to “demonstrate its relevance and imp... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Norman Pfeiffer, an influential Southern California-based architect who founded the precursor to what is now Pfeiffer, a Perkins Eastman Studio, has passed away in Los Angeles after a short battle with illness.
Known for his contributions to the cultural and higher-education sectors of the region, Pfeiffer brought a collaborative approach to the design of public buildings that changed the ways architects think about a building’s effects on civic life and the public realm.
Born in Washington in 1940, Pfeiffer studied at Columbia University before founding the influential practice Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer Associates (HHPA) with Hugh Hardy and Malcolm Holzman in New York in 1967. Before the firm disbanded in 2004, it had garnered national recognition through its designs for the renovated Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum and the original Colburn School campus in downtown Los Angeles. An AIA Firm Award came in 1981, and Pfeiffer decided to expand his practice permanently to the Wes... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Gensler Principal and Studio Director Steven Paynter sat down recently with financial news service Marketplace.org to detail his firm’s year-old proprietary office conversion metric, a unique tool that has become indispensable as the industry looks to position itself for the mass-scale nationwide surge in the conversion market expected for the coming decade.
Paynter had previously revealed the metric’s surprising findings that only about 30% of commercial buildings have the ideal structural prerequisites (e.g., window depth, floor plates, and ceiling heights), essentially doubling down on his original claims with added details as to the so-called “Goldilocks” zones architects look for when looking at structures for a residential conversion. 
“[If] you took a typical floor plate, for example, in those the average unit size for your location or your city, it would divide that unit size by the quarter window depth, so very quickly say, OK, your unit ends up being 25 feet wide and 30 fe... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ David Adjaye’s public reckoning over sexual misconduct allegations launched by three former employees has now reportedly cost him his seat on one of recent history’s most-publicized architecture projects, as the Architects’ Journal is revealing that Adjaye Associates is no longer involved in NEOM’s controversial The Line megacity development in Saudi Arabia. 
The news broke Tuesday in the wake of several other public institutions’ decisions regarding his status on projects worldwide. The AJ reported officials as saying his inclusion was only for a preliminary &quot;pre-concept&quot; design consultation and that the project&#039;s &quot;third and final&quot; design phase would be announced in September sans his participation. 
Earlier today, we reported on Adjaye’s dismissal from the International Slavery Museum renovation project in Liverpool. With the move, his firm has now officially been taken off of Vermont’s Shelburne Museum extension, the planned waterfront redevelopment in Cleveland, Ohio, and the Sh... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The fallout from David Adjaye’s sexual misconduct scandal is beginning to be felt by his firm, as now the New York Times and other national outlets are beginning to report on clients who have cut ties with the architect in light of this week’s allegations.
The city of Cleveland’s 35-acre waterfront development to which Adjaye Associates was attached in April of 2022 is the largest project to appear to be in jeopardy following the publication of the Financial Times&#039; piece Saturday. Cleveland.com reported earlier today that Bedrock, the developer behind the plan, is now “evaluating” its “business association” with the firm going forward. 
Adjaye’s design, which was finally unveiled in December, would radically alter the city’s once-faltering downtown area with 2,000 residential units, 850,000 square feet of office space, and a brand new Tower City Center anchoring its &quot;central spine.&quot;

<title>Liverpool&amp;apos;s International Slavery Museum cuts ties with Adjaye over misconduct allegations</title>

<description><![CDATA[ The forthcoming International Slavery Museum in Liverpool, England has formally terminated their contract with Adjaye Associates over allegations involving its director’s misconduct with women first surfaced in a Financial Times report in the first week of July.
Adjaye had already left the larger Canning Dock redevelopment project over a year ago, though his design (with Ralph Appelbaum Associates) for the remade museum was still in tow and worth a reported £57 million (or about $72 million USD). The design, which calls for an overhaul of the existing Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. building, will still be pursued by National Museums Liverpool (NML) albeit with a different architect they will select following the rewarding of a new tender that was announced along with the cancellation. 
With the announcement, the NLM joins a growing list of other entities to have split with Adjaye that includes the UK Holocaust Memorial team, Vermont&#039;s Shelburne Museum, the city of Cleveland, and the Af... ]]></description>

<title>French architect, historian, and academic Jean&#45;Louis Cohen passes away at 74</title>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/french-architect-historian-and-academic-jean-louis-cohen-passes-away-at-74</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Jean-Louis Cohen, a renowned architectural historian, critic, educator, and curator, has sadly passed away in the Ardennes after suffering an allergic reaction from a bee sting, according to reports published this week in France and the United States.
As the Sheldon H. Solow Chair of Architectural History at the New York University Institute of Fine Arts and former Penelope Visiting Professor in Architectural History at the University of Sydney, Cohen was a beloved figure remembered by many one of his publishers, like Artforum, as being a “knowledgeable interlocutor, author, and professor, and a warm and generous mentor.”
Cohen was born in France in 1949 and began a successful career in academia following the completion of his doctoral studies and a thirteen-year tenure as the director of architectural research for France’s Ministry of Housing. Beginning in 1998, he was influential in the development of the Cité de l&#039;Architecture et du Patrimoine museum in Paris, which opened to the... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ A new look behind the process and select architects involved in Saudi Arabia’s controversial The Line megacity for NEOM has been released, answering some questions as to its ideation while leaving many remaining in regard to the project&#039;s structural engineering, technical specifics, and design feasibility overall.
Among the torrent of quickly-spliced and placable bromides, the 45-minute &quot;documentary&quot; features Peter Cook stating, &quot;if it&#039;s to be a success... parts of it will fail.&quot; None of the interviewees, including especially Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, offered an explanation as to how the &quot;top-down, hardcore engineering&quot; OMA partner Reinier de Graaf describes will be carried out in any detail, an element which has been a constant source of criticism since the segment was first announced a year ago. 
&quot;Many projects acquire their sanity as they go along, and I think very, very much the case here too — and the jury&#039;s out,&quot; de Graaf stated before bemoaning a &quot;complete lac... ]]></description>

<title>UK architects bemoan new trends of big&#45;firm fee ‘undercutting’ and competition from non&#45;registered designers</title>

<description><![CDATA[ The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has issued a new report detailing a troubling new phenomenon affecting small office practitioners in the UK.
The Architects’ Journal has details on some of the newfound challenges for design contracts from those not included on the UK’s official register and licensed architects who are reeling in a business climate beset by increased competition on the part of their non-professionalized rivals and a dual culture of “constant undercutting” for fees from better-positioned large firms. 
RIBA’s Future Trends report from June was the first published indicator of the concerns, which come at a time when market conditions have turned sour across all spectrums of the design sector. Speaking to AJ, London-based NIKJOO principal Alex Nikjoo explained the problem.

“We’ve recently experienced a client looking to use less experienced non-qualified designers for early concept stage design work to keep the consultant fees down, then seeking our help... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ A lot of work has gone into it. It’s like a painting. So the glass is offset in places to take the light a certain way and separate that surface from the rest of the building. A lot of care has gone into organizing that visually. It’ll become apparent over the years. You’ll see it and you’ll say: Oh, that’s what he was doing.Gehry, whose family left Toronto for Los Angeles in 1947, also detailed his misgivings at the city’s contemporary development. The landscape has taken an even more markedly vertical turn since the beginning of 2021 thanks to a “race to the top” among developers (including the backers of the Gehry-designed Forma scheme, the Great Gulf Group) led by the forthcoming 105-story SkyTower design from Hariri Pontarini Architects for Pinnacle International.
Gehry’s only completed permanent work in his birth country, the 2008 renovation of the Art Gallery of Ontario, is also the subject of a major expansion designed by Diamond Schmitt, Two Row, and Selldorf Architects. 
Groundbreaking on Forma’s first tower began last month, with an expected completion slated for 2028. Gehry also expressed an interest in refurbishing Arthur Erickson&#039;s Roy Thomson Hall, which still hasn&#039;t fine-tuned its acoustics since the last KPMB-led upgrade in 2002.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Niall Patrick Walsh spoke with Neil Leach, author of Architecture in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: An Introduction to AI for Architects, as part of the ongoing Archinect In-Depth: Artificial Intelligence series.
Therein he provocatively suggests:
&quot;I think the model of the self-driving car is important for architects because just as a self-driving car doesn’t need a driver, so a fully capable AI AEC tool doesn’t need an architect…personally, I take the view that insurance premiums will encourage the phasing out of human architects, not protect them...The most important advice I have is that right now for architects is that they need to design not just another building but the very future of their profession itself…if architects do not move with the times in the age of AI, they risk the danger of becoming extinct.&quot;
It doesn’t sound like Chad Miller is personally worried yet: &quot;ANI is a tool, no different than modeling or drafting software. It&#039; neither good or bad. Ultimately it&#039;s... ]]></description>

<title>Suspected Long Island serial killer Rex Heuermann was a Manhattan&#45;based architect</title>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/suspected-long-island-serial-killer-rex-heuermann-was-a-manhattan-based-architect</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Rex Heuermann, an architect who had lived most of his life in Nassau County and worked in Manhattan, was taken into custody in connection with at least some of the killings, said an official with knowledge of the case.The 59-year-old was the owner of a Midtown Manhattan-based consultancy practice that offered “concept-driven designs at multiple scales from educational facilities, residential works, as well as mix use and office design, public works, and master planning,” according to its website. Heuermann usually met his victims in the vicinity using a series of disposable “burner” phones which were later linked by investigators to those used by the women via what the New York Times deemed &quot;sophisticated technology.&quot;
Heuermann has pled not guilty. An odd 19-minute interview in which he describes his expertise in building codes and regulations can be viewed below via Bonjour Realty.

<description><![CDATA[ Adjaye Associates’ involvement with Vermont’s Shelburne Museum has ended as the institution is now looking to distance itself from the firm two months after its embattled founder was announced to lead the design of an important $12.6 million extension project in May.
The move comes amidst a torrent of project cancellations, voluntary withdrawals, and other relinquishing measures that followed accusations of abuse and misconduct on the part of Sir David Adjaye, in addition to further details of a “toxic work environment” at his firm. 
“The recent allegations of sexual misconduct leveled against David Adjaye, and his admission of inappropriate behavior, are incompatible with our mission and values, which left the museum with no alternative but to immediately sever ties with the architect and his firm,” the museum’s CEO Thomas Denenberg said in a statement to the media. “We remain committed to moving forward with the project and the many other partners and collaborators who have been i... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Marlon Blackwell Architects has been selected as the designer of an important new memorial to veterans and service members lost during America’s decades-long War on Terror on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
The Arkansas-based firm was announced as the project’s lead following a search process that began last summer with submissions from 177 different U.S. and international competitors. Its development will be guided by a newly-created Design Advisory Council (DAC) comprised of Gold Star family members and veterans, and was commissioned by the nonprofit Global War on Terrorism Memorial Foundation that was first founded in 2015.
The foundation’s President and CEO Michael “Rod” Rodriguez complemented the designer’s “ability, credibility, and humility to lead the design of an inclusive and reverent Memorial,” adding “Marlon’s proven track record as a world-class designer, combined with his personal experiences in a family with a history of military service, will contribute to a de... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Actually, the reason we curate the shows ourselves is not because we want to control how people think, but quite the opposite. I don’t want to be too defensive. I’m not a moralist. If I would to try to control everything, I would have chosen the wrong job.Back in May, Hawthorne met with Jacques Herzog at the opening of the Venice Biennale to discuss the upcoming exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts in London as well as several prevailing industry trends that have impacted his firm’s size and projects in the United States and abroad. He says that, among other project types, “neglected” hospital design offers architects the most potential. The 73-year-old Herzog then offers some insights into the firm’s reluctance to work in Russia after last year, the limits of adaptive reuse, curation, and the perception of his counterpart&#039;s role as a firm leader vis-à-vis his own.

<description><![CDATA[ The Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) has announced the recent passing of influential longtime faculty member Robert Mangurian in Los Angeles at the age of 82.
Mangurian came to the west coast from Baltimore and began his own Los Angeles-based practice called Studio Works Architects in 1969, following the completion of his studies at the University of California, Berkeley and Stanford, respectively. 
Mangurian also lectured at Yale, Rice, Harvard, the University of Michigan, and the University of Virginia in addition to his decades-long tenure at the SCI-Arc, which ended in 2018. He was awarded the prestigious Chrysler Design Award in 2001 and was later inducted into the American Academy in Rome along with his practice partner and fellow SCI-Arc faculty member, Mary-Ann Ray.

<title>PINKNEY NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSE 2023 Studio 804</title>
<link>https://archiecho.com/pinkney-neighborhood-house-2023-studio-804</link>
<guid>https://archiecho.com/pinkney-neighborhood-house-2023-studio-804</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The house is on the 400 block of Indiana Street in the Pinkney Neighborhood, one of the oldest in the City of Lawrence. The site was previously developed, but the building and its foundation had been removed and the lot was very overgrown. It is adjacent to the flood zone with a small portion encroaching on the building site. Studio 804 saw potential in the location despite the challenges. Because of the easement, there is no alley running behind the lot like there is in most of Lawrence. The flood zone becomes an extended, forested backyard that feels secluded for being in the heart of a neighborhood. 

The neighborhood is among many valuable living amenities. Just a few blocks away Downtown Lawrence pulses with vibrant shopping, dining, and cultural experiences. Also nearby is the Kansas River which is a National Water Trail with its waterfront parks that extend up to downtown. There is also access to the Lawrence Loop bike route that runs for 22 miles through and around town. As well as being a pedestrian friendly neighborhood, there is easy access to the city bus system which expands the possibilities of travel around Lawrence without a car. 

The scale of the house and its gabled forms fits the neighborhood. On the main level, one enters an open living, kitchen, and dining area. A hallway to the backdoor, across from the garage, is lined with storage and houses a laundry, mechanical room, guest powder room as well as a mudroom. At the end of the hallway is a bedroom suite with a full bath and walk-in closet. The bedroom opens to the east to the quiet tree canopy behind the house. At the top of an open staircase from the living area is a second bedroom suite. A flexible space that adapts to the varying privacy needs of different living arrangements and the different stages of people’s lives. It has a full bath and a cozy loft ambience. There is a small self-sufficient accessory dwelling on the second floor above the detached one-car garage. It is accessed through a private exterior entry. This means even more living flexibility for the homeowner as well as the opportunity for rental income while supporting the effort to increase residential density in the heart of town which helps mitigate urban sprawl. 

SUSTAINABLE FEATURES

LEED PLATINUM
Beginning with the first residence in 1998, Studio 804 has an established track record of award-winning highly sustainable buildings that include 15 USGBC LEED Platinum certified projects, one gold and three Passive House institute US (PHIUS)certified buildings. This house is expected to be the 16th LEED Platinum certified project.

EXTERIOR SKIN:
The gabled forms are clad with a rainscreen ventilated facade. The rainscreen design improve the thermal performance and water drainage of the high performance, highly insulated building envelope. The cladding itself is recyclable, extending its use beyond the life of the building. 

CONTROL LAYERS:
High quality air, vapor and water barriers contribute to the tight envelope design preventing undesirable water and vapor transmission. The assembly also passed a blower door test to assure air tightness. The insulation well exceeds the code requirements to further reduce the energy consumption of the building. 

LIGHT EXPOSURE:
The design of the south facade of the house allows access to natural daylight year-round. Louvers mitigate direct solar heat gain in the summer but permit the winter sun to warm the concrete floors. On the roof, 16 solar panels will significantly offset the energy consumption.

WINDOWS &amp; DOORS:
Energy efficient windows and doors contribute to the high R-value of the wall assembly and the overall performance of the building. Operable windows provide cross-ventilation, thereby lowering energy costs and increasing access to fresh air.

INTERIOR FINISHES:
All finishes are low VOC emitting.

ELECTRICAL &amp; APPLIANCES:
The house is equipped with state-of-the-art interior lighting technology. Exterior lighting is planned to minimize light pollution. Furthermore, most appliances meet the highest standards for energy and water efficiency with Energy Star and Water Sense ratings.

ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT:
The detached garage with an ADU above provides additional storage and rentable living space and promotes urban density. 

ELECTRIC CAR CHARGER:
The garage is wired for electric car charging.

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT:
The driveway is paved with a permeable surface to minimize storm water runoff that can often overwhelm city systems and the river to which it drains and cause flooding. Instead, the water saturates the ground and replenishes the water table. On the eastern edge of the site, a rain garden will retain and absorb runoff from the roofs. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The fallout from Sir David Adjaye’s sexual misconduct scandal is beginning to be felt by his firm, as now the New York Times and other national outlets are beginning to report on clients who have cut ties with the architect in light of this week’s allegations.
The city of Cleveland’s 35-acre waterfront development to which Adjaye Associates was attached in April of 2022 is the largest project to appear to be in jeopardy following the publication of the Financial Times&#039; piece Saturday. Cleveland.com reported earlier today that Bedrock, the developer behind the plan, is now “evaluating” its “business association” with the firm going forward. 
Adjaye’s design, which was finally unveiled in December, would radically alter the city’s once-faltering downtown area with 2,000 residential units, 850,000 square feet of office space, and a brand new Tower City Center anchoring its &quot;central spine.&quot;

<guid>https://archiecho.com/sir-david-adjaye-accused-of-sexual-misconduct-by-three-former-employees</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The prominent architect Sir David Adjaye has been accused of sexual misconduct by three former employees. The claims were reported first by the Financial Times, in which the three women accuse Adjaye and his firm, Adjaye Associates, of “different forms of exploitation — from alleged sexual assault and sexual harassment by him to a toxic work culture — that have gone unchecked for years.”
In response, the architect has denied the claims of sexual misconduct, abuse, or criminal wrongdoing, while stating that he was “ashamed” to have entered into relationships that “though entirely consensual, blurred the boundaries between my professional and personal lives.”
The three women, whose names are changed by the Financial Times to protect their identities, told the paper they came forward in order to “prevent other women from encountering similar abuse and to make public the architect’s private behavior.”  To corroborate their accounts, the Financial Times interviewed colleagues, family mem... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ I believe that a museum is the light of hope [...] A place where people can obtain the ‘nutrients for the soul’ necessary for living a rich and fulfilling life.Speaking to The Art Newspaper, Ando says: “I always struggle with where to draw the line between nature and artificiality as I proceed with design,” telling the interviewer Edwin Heathcote (who says his 2013 Museum SAN in South Korea illustrates “the crisis in contemporary architecture”) that his goal for the project was to create “one big garden” before remarking on the Bourse de Commerce in Paris, the necessity of adaptive reuse, personal health challenges, and legacy. 
The final leg of the 81-year-old icon’s touring retrospective Tadao Ando: Youth exhibition culminates at Museum SAN and will remain on view until July 30th of this year.  ]]></description>

<title>Architects comment on Le Corbusier&amp;apos;s 100&#45;year legacy</title>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/architects-comment-on-le-corbusiers-100-year-legacy</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Le Corbusier was to architecture what Picasso was to painting, a towering and egomaniacal creative force who transformed his discipline for ever. His buildings have inspired admiration, sometimes devotion. He is an icon, granted the nickname “Corb” or “Corbu” by architects. He has also been vigorously attacked, as a mechanistic fanatic whose ideas inspired inhumane tower blocks and concrete jungles.In his latest Guardian piece, critic Rowan Moore remembers the 100-year anniversary of the seminal modernist manifesto Toward an Architecture by one of the profession&#039;s most revered and controversial figures, Le Corbusier. 
Acknowledging that the book&#039;s thoughts about the future were now &quot;firmly in the past,&quot; Moore asked acclaimed present-day architects about the impact Le Corbusier&#039;s work has had on them and which of his buildings was most relevant in their view. 
Among the respondees are Pritzker Prize and Gold Medal winners Frank Gehry, Denise Scott Brown, Rem Koolhaas, Herzog &amp; de Meuron&#039;s founding partner Jacques Herzog, Grafton Architects&#039; Shelley McNamara and Yvonne Farrell, Yasmeen Lari, Kate Macintosh, as well as contemporary architects and designers Jayden Ali and Adam Nathaniel Furman.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The newest addition to New York City’s High Line has opened to the public. Named the Moynihan Connector, and designed by Skidmore, Owings &amp; Merrill with James Corner Field Operations, the timber bridges form a link between a series of civic spaces from Midtown West to the West Village.
The Connector is composed of two bridges running above Dyer Avenue and West 30th Street, creating what the team calls an “elevated, accessible, and episodic urban journey from the doorstep of Moynihan Train Hall to the contemporary public spaces of Brookfield’s Manhattan West and the verdant gardens and historic structure of the High Line.” The larger bridge, named the Woodland Bridge, comprises a 340-foot-long structure of exposed weathered columns and angle bracket arms. Meanwhile, the 260-foot-long Timber Bridge comprises a glulam Warren truss made from sustainably sourced wood.

<description><![CDATA[ Phil Bernstein speculated on the set of opportunities &quot;that architects will see in the next decade as such systems (AI language transformers and image generators) become more capable and available&quot; and proposes &quot;five strategies to guide its future&quot;. As he sees it, this future will be one not of &quot;BIM monkeys&quot; but &quot;AI Monkey Trainers.&quot; If nothing else Gary Garvin appreciated the optimism 
&quot;It looks like the architect&#039;s job, or at least the lead architect&#039;s, will become more demanding, hopefully more rewarding, with more effective and useful and beneficial results.&quot;
Plus, Amanda Wasielewski cautioned that &quot;text-to-image generators have no…spatial awareness or understanding, and we cannot take for granted that they ‘perceive’ space in two-dimensional images the same way we do.&quot; Their &quot;blind spots and limitations&quot; in this area include the inability to count, problem rendering hands and the Escher-esque stairways they generate.

<description><![CDATA[ One of the most notable contributors to the development of contemporary British architecture is being mourned after acclaimed Hopkins Architects co-founder Sir Michael Hopkins passed away last week at the age of 88.
A pioneer of the High-Tech movement, Hopkins was considered one of the most successful building designers in post-1970s England thanks to key projects such as 2001’s Portcullis House and the 1987 Mound Stand at Lord’s Cricket Ground that displayed a unique sensitivity towards historical context while helping to propel his generation of architects to widespread critical acceptance.

<description><![CDATA[ The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has released a new short documentary feature honoring 2023 Royal Gold Medalist Yasmeen Lari following her acceptance of the award at a special presentation held last week in London.
The Pakastani-born architect was named the Gold Medal&#039;s 174th recipient in April. RIBA recognized Lari, also the first female architect to practice in the country, over her groundbreaking humanitarian and climate-sensitive designs, which showcase “how architecture changes lives for the better,” according to a statement made by President Simon Allford at the announcement.
The 82-year-old detailed her approach to sustainable and seismic design, including her four ‘Zeros’ and refusal to work with cement, steel, and corporate handouts. She also discusses her work with renewable materials such as bamboo, earth, and lime, as well as the role of craft, women designers, and the democratization of the profession in her ongoing architectural aspirations.

I&#039;m most excited, though, about the Altshuler/Morrison/UIUC project as vital public space-making bringing new life to a bleak corner site.&quot;

<guid>https://archiecho.com/trans-and-non-binary-architects-discuss-their-challenges-within-the-industry</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ So, yes, architecture has a diversity problem, but the tide is beginning to change. Thanks to out-and-proud architects like [Julia] Oderda, emerging trans designers now have possibility models to look to when navigating situations like coming out or transitioning on the job. Some firms are also taking steps to make their workplace more welcoming to trans people, often in collaboration with trans people who already work there.Architect Julia Oderda, who came out as a transgender woman professionally in 2018, also provided some insights into her struggle in an interview with the NCARB recently, saying, “A lot of what I did to help pave the way for me — and hopefully for others behind me — but also just to address my own anxieties about the process was a lot of overpreparation.” 
The narrative that the existence of trans and non-binary people in an office setting is always contentious ought to be challenged, but their lack of visibility and support from colleagues is troubling, spurring the VCBO Architecture principal towards even more action. “That&#039;s one of the reasons I&#039;ve been as open and vocal as I have been,” she says. “I think we need more people who can be found online to help the next generation.”

<guid>https://archiecho.com/congress-search-for-the-new-architect-of-the-capitol-continues</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A nationwide hunt is underway for a new architect of the Capitol, the federal official in charge of the operations and maintenance of the Capitol complex — the heart of American democracy and in more recent years, dysfunction. A special congressional commission is searching for potential candidates on university campuses and museum boards, and in the military, major transit systems and even theme parks.Congress has retained Reffett Associates to aid in its candidate search for the low six-figure position, which sufficed to say, they see as a “unicorn.” The firm has apparently selected more than twenty candidates thus far, with further help from the AIA. Whoever is hired will oversee 18.4 million square feet of facilities (in addition to a yet-remade Union Station) and more than 2,000 employees. 
2023 AIA President Emily Grandstaff-Rice says: “This job requires the skills of an architect, especially in terms of space planning. [But] because you have great access to many decision makers within the government, it’s a people-facing position as well.”
Thomas J. Caroll, who served in an acting role before Brett Blanton&#039;s tenure, told the New York Times, “Getting away was a great break.” ]]></description>

<title>David Adjaye previews his Asaase III earthwork installation for COUNTERPUBLIC in St. Louis</title>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/david-adjaye-previews-his-asaase-iii-earthwork-installation-for-counterpublic-in-st-louis</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ It’s very significant. In terms of personal meaning, I have approached it as a kind of meditation and reflection on the idea of deep time—planetary and galaxy time that is beyond the human timeline.

Asaase III is, in a way, a representation of how I imagine an ideal city—a city that is in symbiosis with the Earth, acknowledging it and honoring it in a very deep way, but also absolutely transforming it and creating new features.The new (permanent) addition to the Griot Museum of Black History is Adjaye’s second foray into rammed earth sculpture, following a 2021 installation at the Gagosian Gallery in New York. COUNTERPUBLIC curator Allison Glenn says the commission was born of her desire to connect the museum to the history of land use and the story of architecture in the community — in addition to Adjaye’s previous U.S. museum designs.  
Adjaye says he was motivated to use materials as a means of invoking historical reference in light and also breaking us from our lost sense of place in universal spacetime, adding his concern that &quot;Artifice has taken over our sense of reverence for the Earth.&quot;

<title>Influential Italian postmodernist architect Paolo Portoghesi passes away aged 91</title>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/influential-italian-postmodernist-architect-paolo-portoghesi-passes-away-aged-91</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ An important driver of postmodernism in Italy has been lost following the death of Italian architect, theorist, and historian Paolo Portoghesi in his native country this week at the age of 91.
The author of the 2000 title Nature and Architecture enjoyed a long and influential academic career in Italy while simultaneously working to complete several important religious and cultural commissions such as the Mosque of Rome, Strasbourg Mosque, Casa Baldi, and Theatre of Cagliari as an architect following his graduation from the Sapienza University of Rome in 1957.
Portoghesi also served as President of the Venice Biennale from 1979 to1992 and was a notable participant in the Documenta 5 exhibition and other key artistic exhibitions across Europe during the same time period. His teaching career began the previous decade at his alma mater, where his renowned expertise in Baroque architecture was further enabled via a collaborative relationship with his friend and mentor, Bruno Zevi.

<description><![CDATA[ With disgraced former Architect of the Capitol J. Brett Blanton now facing punishment for his misuse of office, the American Institute of Architects (AIA) has announced their involvement in the Congressional search process to find a new permanent head for the over 2,000-person office.
The Institute says it has representatives working with both Congress and the executive search firm that was hired to aid in the search for the new AOC position, which is currently held on an interim basis by Chere Rexroat. 
Blanton was fired by President Biden in mid-February after a three-month investigation into his alleged wrongdoings, which reportedly entailed the use of government-owned vehicles and an incident where he deliberately misrepresented himself as a law enforcement official, among a choice of actions labeled as “fraud, waste, and abuse against not only the AOC but also the taxpayer” by the federal Inspector General.

<description><![CDATA[ A new Facebook post from Patrik Schumacher critical of the newly-opened 2023 Venice Architecture Biennale is gaining traction after the Zaha Hadid Architects Principal expressed his concerns over the apparent lack of architectural content in the Lesley Lokko-curated exhibition, whose theme touches on Afrofuturism, the environmental crisis, and identity.
In a fourteen-paragraph invective titled “Venice Biennale Blues,” Schumacher decried the Biennale as being “mislabeled,” claiming that “What we are witnessing here is the discursive self-annihilation of the discipline.”
Schumacher, who is himself a co-curator of this year&#039;s Venice Virtual Pavilion, claimed to visit twelve total pavilions without seeing anything related to architecture before lamenting the pavilions and themed exhibitions as being awash in “documentary-style intellectual-artistic allusions to moral issues, garnished with pretentious critical-speak.”

<description><![CDATA[ This year’s Pritzker Prize laureate David Chipperfield has concluded his remarks at the special awards ceremony and presentation held this morning at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). 
Topics covered by Chipperfield’s address include the limits and responsibilities of practice, the market’s influence over the industry, and an overview of his career, all framed by the impetus of climate change and the responsibility of designers within the context of the current global architectural stasis. 
Chipperfield began by paying homage to Le Corbusier, Josep Lluís Sert, and the other architects who met at the school for the influential Fourth CIAM Congress on urban planning in August of 1933, stating: “We find ourselves again, in this room, needing more than ever the sort of planning structures that were proposing in order that we can confront the environmental issues of our time.”

<description><![CDATA[ Controversy is stirring at the Venice Architecture Biennale after Italian government officials refused visas to three key Ghanian curators who had planned on entering the country to attend the exhibition ahead of its opening on Saturday.
The Art Newspaper&#039;s Tom Seymour has the latest details on a story first mentioned by Guardian critic Oliver Wainwright via Twitter on May 10th.

The drama began after the Italian ambassador to Ghana denied entry permissions to the traveling contingent, reportedly accusing curator Lesley Lokko of trying to bring three “non-essential” workers into the EU’s Schengen economic zone.
Lokko, who is herself of Ghanaian descent, responded to decry the actions as the motivations of a right-wing careerist diplomat, adding in h... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ New York City is suing the architects behind the Hunters Point Library for tens of millions of dollars over portions of the structure not being accessible to people with handicaps, in violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act. [...]

The city’s lawsuit was filed May 17 in state Supreme Court in Manhattan. The defendants are Steven Holl Architect, PC, aka Steven Holl Architects, and the individuals Steven Holl and Christopher McVoy.The original lawsuit was brought to Federal court in November 2019 by a local disability advocate named Tanya Jackson. The project debuted just two months prior and drew the immediate ire of critics who were quick to point out the flaws in its $41.5 million non-universal design. Steven Holl Architects senior partner McVoy has defended the project as &quot;incredibly successful&quot; since that time and now faces a total of $10 million in potential damages alongside Holl. Another $20 million could be assessed against the firm depending on the lawsuit’s outcome.
Previously on Archinect: Class action lawsuit filed in Hunters Point Library accessibility disputeAccording to the complaint: &quot;As designed and built, the Library failed in multiple ways to comply with the design requirements set forth in the requirements contract and Task Order 1.

<description><![CDATA[ Shigeru Ban Architects has released photos of the architect’s response to the humanitarian crisis plaguing Turkey following the 7.8 earthquake that destroyed over 160,000 structures while claiming the lives of more than 50,000 people there and in Syria on February 6th.
The firm had previously been on the ground since March working through its Voluntary Architects Network (or VAN) nonprofit arm to construct shelters using their patented Paper Partition System that was first utilized in the wake of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake in Japan.
The system works by first constructing a system of 2x2-meter paper tubes, over which fabric privacy curtains can be installed.

From Norman Foster digs in on his stance on airport emissionsFoster has faced criticism from environmentalists due to his inclination towards constructing airports and his views on the environment. He supports urban living and advocates for nuclear power as a solution to climate change and poverty in densely populated cities.
Notwithstanding these viewpoints, Foster&#039;s philosophy includes the development of cleaner, sustainable cities.

I’m excited about the future. I think the future is more interesting than the past. I leave the past to other people.The 1999 Pritzker Prize winner also delved into topics as far ranging as his yearslong dispute with environmental activists, representation of women in architecture, engagements in Saudi Arabia, NEOM, so-called &quot;starchitects,&quot; and the world to come. The exhibition features some 130 major projects, covering areas like his love for cars, early collaboration with Buckminster Fuller, and more, all honed in on themes of &quot;sustainability and anticipating the future.&quot;

<description><![CDATA[ Influential English architect Michael Squire has passed away at the age of 77 following a short illness, his firm reported this week.
The Squire &amp; Partners co-founder began his career working for his father Raglan abroad in the mid-1970s before going on to start the firm with Paul Harrison in 1976. From there, the practice evolved into one of London’s leading names, creating a number of award-winning projects in different sectors over the proceeding three decades, including the Chelsea Barracks master plan, One Tower Bridge, and the Clarges Estate in Mayfair.
The firm’s own move into an outdated Edwardian-era department store in Brixton became one of the most heralded adaptive reuse office projects in the industry in recent memory, establishing for others and for themselves a home inside a four-level space that includes a members club, downstairs public gallery, studios, and the display of the annual Winter Windows competition, which provides local primary school pupils with the opp... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Although the Biennale is hardly the first major exhibition to focus on Black and diasporic practitioners, the cascading crises of climate change, rapid urbanization, migration, global health emergencies and a deep imperative to decolonize institutions and spaces — starting with the historically Eurocentric Biennale itself — arguably make Lokko’s focus on hybrid forms of practice timely, be it planners as policy experts or artist-environmentalists.Lokko repeated to the Times her interest in using the Biennale platform to disabuse stigmas about African identity before discussing her own experiences with identity, path to architecture, and the potential she and others are striving to present to the world.
“The ability to be several things at once — traditional and modern, African and global, colonized and independent — is a strong thread running through the continent and the Diaspora,” she told the paper. “We’re used to having to think about resources, about switching on a light with no guarantee of electricity. We’re able to grapple with change. That capacity to overcome, to negotiate, to navigate ones’ surroundings is going to take center stage.”

<title>Rowan Moore wants a ‘truce’ between King Charles&amp;apos; traditionalists and the avant&#45;garde</title>

<description><![CDATA[ The incurable optimist in me still wonders: could his yearnings about the built environment be more beneficially directed? Charles may have been at war with much of the architectural world for nearly 40 years, but might they not unite over what they have in common? They all want sustainable communities and good design. Architects and the monarch also have a shared enemy: the sacrifice of positive architectural qualities to housebuilders’ pursuit of profit.Moore’s calls echo in some regard the statements made by housing secretary Michael Gove last year, in which he called for an openness to classicism given there is “no silver bullet to solve the housing crisis” domestically. Stirling Prize winners Mikhail Riches and Alison Brooks Architects are brought in as examples of those left out in the fray he created by virtue of his comments and status as an “unofficial addition” to the country&#039;s planning system.
“If he were to do anything more in the realm of architecture,” Moore writes, “it should be generous: He could praise those architects who, even if their style is not to his personal taste, dedicate energy and skill to making British towns and cities better places to live.”
Elsewhere, the Architects’ Journal reported that Norman Foster would also like a word with his new king. ]]></description>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/so-il-becomes-the-latest-architecture-firm-to-achieve-b-corp-certification</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Brooklyn-based SO – IL has announced that it has attained B Corp certification. SO – IL is one of 69 B Corporation architecture firms certified across the U.S., and 167 worldwide, recognizing businesses that balance financial success with positive social and environmental impact.
“We are proud to be one of them allowing for company structures built around transparency, accountability, and inclusion,” SO – IL said when announcing the news. “We will continuously strive to do better and use business as a force for the good.”
 

The B Corp certification is conferred by the nonprofit B Lab, which assesses companies based on standards of transparency, accountability, and performance.

<description><![CDATA[ The work has been about creating a dialogue between the 18th century and modernity. This theater was born as a space to create dreams, illusions, adventures. It’s still a place of collective imagination. But to effectively make it work today, it needed to be much more flexible and capable than what existed in the 1700s. It had run out of space to perform effectively. We’ve created a series of elements designed to make the theater function for the 2000s.The Swiss architect began his two-phase restoration in January 2002. It has been the subject of controversy since that time, owing to its scale and derivation from the city council tender approvals process. The project highlights the delicate line between preservation and the ambits of a figure such as Botta, whose deference to the past has always been expressed in materials such as terra cotta and Botticino marble. 
To that score, Botta says his approach to design has evolved to be a sort of commentary on the &quot;confrontation between times [...] A collage of different language,&quot; adding we’ve &quot;lost the capacity to express the true value of architecture.&quot;
&quot;I find that architecture is always a sacred act, because it transforms nature and it represents our entire world,&quot; he states at the end of the NYT interview. &quot;The architecture of sacred spaces is very close to the architecture of theaters or museums. You’re trying to create a type of value and strength. You’re attempting to embody a ... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The Yale School of Architecture has just announced a new scholarship named after 2022 Pritzker Prize winner Francis Kéré in the interest of supporting African students at the school as they complete their journey to a career in architecture.
“There are so many aspiring African architects, and with a Yale education, they will be able to excel,” Kéré said. “I am the first African architect to be recognized with a Pritzker, and, thanks to the Francis Kéré Scholarship, I hope there will be many more to come.”
Kéré taught at Yale as a William B. and Charlotte Shepherd Davenport Visiting Professor in 2019 and, more recently, as the prestigious Louis I. Kahn Visiting Professor in 2022. He has remained active in the school’s academic community, which he referred to as “welcoming and vibrant”  and also a “place to be.”

<description><![CDATA[ A unique new philanthropic initiative from Michael Hsu Office of Architecture (MHOA) is offering nonprofits in the Austin, Texas area the chance to win a $20,000 pro-bono consultation in the interests of providing much-needed space to organizations affected by the city’s rapid transformation into a new capital for America’s high-tech industries. 
The firm recently announced it will be accepting design proposals for what is now its second iteration of the Design for All Partnership &quot;seed program&quot; that last year afforded the organization Austin Angels the chance to construct a new foster care facility at a vacant former church lot in the Buda neighborhood.
&quot;A lot of these nonprofits are having a hard time finding affordable space,&quot; MHOA founder Hsu told the Austin Chronicle of his firm’s endeavor. &quot;And there&#039;s all sorts of challenges in trying to build something even if they do find a space because it&#039;s so time-intensive.

<guid>https://archiecho.com/deborah-berke-partners-relaunches-as-tenberke-to-promote-ethics-based-vision</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Deborah Berke Partners has relaunched as TenBerke in a move that the firm says “re-articulates our ethics-based vision for our practice.” The new name, which still retains the surname of founder Deborah Berke, seeks to evoke ideas of multiples and multiplicity, reflecting how the firm sees the broad responsibilities of architects.
“The number ten speaks of multiples and unity, a reflection of the creative collective who form TenBerke,” the firm said in a statement. “The name evokes the Powers of Ten: Our duty as designers to look at the biggest picture and the finest detail. And simply, we like ten because it’s a handy number — a human measure.”

<title>Frank Lloyd Wright&amp;apos;s grandson Eric Llloyd Wright passes away aged 93</title>

<description><![CDATA[ The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation has shared news of the passing of Wright’s grandson Eric Lloyd Wright last month at the age of 93.
Wright, who was the only child of Frank Lloyd Wright Jr., designed homes and religious projects in California, Pennsylvania, the American Midwest and Finland. 
He was an apprentice for his grandfather at Taliesin until being drafted into service in the Korean War in 1952. Wright returned to Los Angeles in 1956 to work for his father’s studio but did not earn an architectural license until 1967, according to his biography on the Foundation’s Memoriam. 
It was in Malibu in 1978 that Wright began his own practice, Eric Lloyd Wright &amp; Associates Architecture &amp; Planning. From there, his firm went on to become a fixture in the myriad restoration projects of his father and grandfather’s original designs, including the Ennis House, South Carolina’s Auldbrass Plantation, and the Storer House in Los Angeles.

<description><![CDATA[ Historically, landscape architecture was concerned with the composition of private gardens, but Kate Orff is a landscape architect who’s never been hemmed in by garden walls—seeking instead to liberate landscape to do nothing less than repair our warming planet through design.The SCAPE founder and Columbia GSAPP Urban Design Program Director joins an exclusive club of TIME Magazine’s ‘100 Influential People’ that includes David Adjaye, Bjarke Ingels, Wang Shu, Jeanne Gang, and Kengo Kuma. (HOK was also cited last year for the Terminal B project at LaGuardia Airport, which the magazine said sets “the gold standard for airport design.”)
Orff was previously included on Rolling Stone&#039;s list of “25 People Shaping the Future in Tech, Science, Medicine, Activism and More” in 2017, the same year she was awarded the MacArthur &quot;Genius&quot; Grant fellowship in a first for landscape architects nationwide. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ HOK has announced the passing of CEO and chairman Bill Hellmuth on April 6th at the age of 69 following a long illness.
Hellmuth had been in the chairman’s post since 2017 after serving as the firm’s president since 2005. Working out of HOK’s D.C. office, where he remained as a design principal throughout, he helped lead the development of several well-recognized projects both in domestic markets and internationally. Hellmuth, whose work won 29 AIA awards, originally joined the firm in 1991 at founder Gyo Obata’s personal urging after practicing in New York for 14 years.

<description><![CDATA[ Kharkiv’s mayor, Ihor Terekhov, announced that Foster and his nonprofit, the Norman Foster Foundation, had agreed to work on such a plan in collaboration with the city. Max, who had never imagined he’d hear the words “Kharkiv” and “Foster” in the same sentence, was asked to join Foster’s working group. He was one of only two architects selected who were still physically in Kharkiv—the only people in a position to “show” Kharkiv to Foster.The New Yorker contributing writer Masha Gessen tells the story of Maxim Rozenfeld, a Kharkiv-native, Ukrainian architect and historian with special expertise in the high-tech-style oeuvre of Norman Foster, who ended up briefing a Foster-led team when the city&#039;s mayor Ihor Terekhov announced an ambitious rebuilding plan for the heavily-damaged Kharkiv one year ago in April (new details emerged in December). ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Apparent Japanese architecture aficionado Kim Kardashian recently traveled to the country to meet with Pritzker winner Tadao Ando, according to an Instagram post made by the celebrity mogul Thursday.
Ando is designing a private residence for Kardashian in the Palm Springs area, the details of which were first uncovered by Vogue magazine last year. In her post, Kardashian implied its construction was set to break ground soon, though she was sparse on other design details aside from sharing what appears to be a rendering of a grey cast concrete structure that more closely resembles a contemporary art museum than a home.
Ando has designed several celebrity residences over the years, including a $75 million compound for fashion designer Tom Ford and the Malibu home currently owned by Kardashian’s troubled ex-husband following a $57.3 million post-divorce splurge. Kardashian is also reportedly in talks with Kengo Kuma for another vacation residence at an undisclosed American lakeside loc... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ [...] standing on the third floor of the Guggenheim during its 25th–anniversary celebrations in October 2022, even Gehry seemed a little awed. “When you look at your old buildings, you’re very critical of every little detail,” he says, looking around. “And I love it, I think. I find I love it.”In a recent profile on Frank Gehry, TIME met up with the 94-year-old architect at one of his most celebrated buildings, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. As Gehry revisited the halls his team designed more than three decades ago, he opened up about design principles, technical challenges, and his thoughts on movement in design.

<description><![CDATA[ Past Aga Khan Award winner and 2021 Soane Medalist Marina Tabassum was recently featured in a short CNN profile of her ongoing Khudi Bari project in the coastal region of her native Bangladesh.
The concept, which seeks to deliver mobile two-level residential structures to a largely landless population in the heavily flood-prone area, first came about in October of 2018 and was accelerated by a pandemic downturn that ground several of her eponymous studio’s other ongoing projects to a halt.
Tabassum says the bamboo structures (whose name translates to “tiny home” in Bengali) can be easily disassembled and transported elsewhere, relying on steel joints and metal corner braces for structural strength. The design is split into two levels, with the uppermost elevated about six feet above the ground plane to accommodate up to four people in the event of flooding.

Four-time WNBA champions, the Seattle Storm, celebrated an important milestone as their 50,000-square-foot Seattle Storm Center for Basketball Performance broke ground on Monday, March 27. 
While it&#039;s said to &quot;be the first facility of its kind in the United States,&quot; what makes this endeavor even more notable is that its project team is 85% female-led, across five firms and practices specializing in architecture, landscape architecture, construction, and real estate.

<description><![CDATA[ It’s a fact that Africa stands for something that comes from outside. But Africans share something that is 100% there. There is a sense, particularly among the young, that the time has come to define that something on their own terms. There is a sense that it is our time.The woman tasked with leading the 18th International Architecture Exhibition in Venice this summer told The Guardian critic about the ideas involved in producing the Biennale, which promises a packed slate highlighting the untapped potential Africa contains. 
She also spoke to Africa’s status as a continent lacking in homegrown architects and defined by “instability and invention, minimally constrained by professional structures, where the &#039;speed of change is likely to outstrip the ability to understand it.&#039;” 
Polymathic Nigerian designer Demas Nwoko was recently named as the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement recipient of this year&#039;s edition. The 2023 Venice Biennale opens May 20th with a special awards ceremony held at the exhibition’s Ca&#039; Giustinian headquarters in San Marco. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The Weitzman School of Design at the University of Pennsylvania has announced that Catherine Seavitt Nordenson will be taking over as the next chair of its Department of Landscape Architecture, effective July 1st.
The current Spitzer School of Architecture professor and director of CCNY&#039;s Master of Landscape Architecture program will replace Richard Weller and will be the third woman ever to lead the department following Anne Whiston Spirn and professor Sonja Dümpelmann, who had been serving as its interim chair since last spring.
A press announcement from the university called Seavitt “one of the most admired scholar-practitioners of her generation.” Her career began as an Associate at New York’s Atelier Raimund Abraham in 1993 and has made stops at Pei Cobb Freed and Partners in addition to the academic appointments at Parsons, the University of Virginia, and two of her alma maters Princeton and the Cooper Union.

<guid>https://archiecho.com/demas-nwoko-receives-the-golden-lion-for-lifetime-achievement-award</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Multitalented Nigerian architect, sculptor, and designer Demas Nwoko is named the recipient of the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement by the Venice Biennale in recognition of what curator Lesley Lokko described as the “polyglot nature of his talents and oeuvres and to the rather narrow interpretation of the word ‘architect’ that has arguably kept his name out of the annals.”
Nwoko&#039;s work was also commended by Lokko for his polymath abilities and commitment to sustainability, adding: “Although relatively few, Nwoko’s buildings in Nigeria fulfill two critical roles. They are forerunners of the sustainable, resource-mindful, and culturally authentic forms of expression now sweeping across the African continent – and the globe – and they point towards the future, no mean achievement for someone whose work is still largely unknown, even at home.”
Nwoko was born in the rural town of Idumuje-Ugboko and was educated at the Nigerian College of Arts, Science, and Technology. One of the orig... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ One year after acclaimed Mexican architect Frida Escobedo replaced David Chipperfield as the designer for the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art&#039;s $500 million modern and contemporary wing extension, Escobedo has spoken to Vogue about her vision fo the scheme. When completed, the project is expected to comprise 80,000 square feet of more accessible galleries and public spaces.
“My first thoughts were that this wing is quite isolated,” Escobedo told Vogue’s Dodie Kazanjian on a tour of the existing museum. “It feels like a separate part of the museum, and the question is, how can we integrate it more?”
While Escobedo is not due to present a design concept until June, she revealed to Vogue that her vision for the scheme will include some form of alteration to the building’s orientation. “Right now, the building is facing just one way, Fifth Avenue — the grand staircase, the Great Hall, and you can go in three directions to Egypt, to Greece, and to Europe,” Escobedo told the magazine.... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The Syracuse University School of Architecture has announced the reappointment of Dean Michael A. Speaks to another five-year term.
Speaks, at the helm since 2013, has been instrumental in establishing numerous academic and faculty-focused programs, including the Harry der Boghosian Endowed Fellowship Program for emerging academics in architecture. 
The former Dean of the University of Kentucky College of Design also worked to establish the school’s China Studies program, which now has studios in Beijing and Shanghai, along with a host of academic exchanges and scholarship programs in South Korea and Taiwan respectively. 
“With Michael’s deanship has come a new era of success for the School of Architecture,” Syracuse Provost Gretchen Ritter said of his tenure thus far. “He has extended the school’s reach and enhanced its already strong academic program. I know the school will continue to flourish with him at the helm, and I look forward to our continued work together.”

<description><![CDATA[ The three-decade professional relationship between Karl Lagerfeld and Pritzker winner Tadao Ando will be continued in a new exhibition designed by the architect for the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
Opening to coincide with the Lagerfeld-themed Met Gala during the first week of May, Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty promises to be a treatise on Lagerfeld’s work organized around the duality between straight lines and the “Serpentine line” first theorized in William Hogarth’s 1753 essay The Analysis of Beauty. 
The essay was supposedly an inspiration for the late fashion designer throughout his decorated career, the arch and milestones of which are covered in the introductory segment to the exhibition.

<description><![CDATA[ Following this week’s announcement of David Chipperfield as the 46th Pritzker Prize laureate, we reached out to several of his former employees that now run their own firms and studios in order to get their thoughts and recollections on working for the architect as younger designers. 
Chipperfield himself benefited greatly from his time in the offices of Richard Rogers and Norman Foster shortly after completing his studies at the Architectural Association (AA) in London and in advance of starting his practice later in 1985. Speaking to Guardian architecture critic Oliver Wainwright after the win, Chipperfield said: “In both those offices, they were quite obsessive about doing more than you’re asked to do.” 
“My generation has always been about the product,” he added, “but I believe more than anything now that we need to focus on the process.”

<description><![CDATA[ Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) co-founder A. Eugene “Gene” Kohn has passed away today in New York at the age of 92.
Kohn was a graduate of his hometown University of Pennsylvania and went on to found KPF along with his classmate Sheldon Fox and architect William Pedersen in 1976 after working for Welton Becket Associates&#039; operation in New York. 
From there, early commissions for One Logan Square in Philadelphia and 333 Wacker Drive in Chicago helped shape the firm’s trajectory through the 1980s, eventually ending the decade with a slew of major corporate commissions – 900 North Michigan Avenue, the CNG Tower, and 311 South Wacker Drive – included in its growing international portfolio.

<guid>https://archiecho.com/the-aia-will-partner-with-cbs-on-the-second-season-of-america-bydesign</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The American Institute of Architects (AIA) has announced a new partnership with CBS on the second season of America ByDesign it says will help to showcase “the immense value of architecture to a national mainstream audience.”
Each architect featured in the six-episode series will be an AIA member, offering the public in select audiences the chance to view architecture as a vital service instead of a craft or stratified trade industry.

AIA Executive Vice President and CEO Lakisha Ann Woods said “AIA members play an integral role in the design of so many of the places where we live, work, learn and play. They have told me about the importance of elevating and celebrating architecture in the eyes of the general public, and this partnership helps us move in that direction.  It&#039;s a tremendous opportunity to showcase our members&#039; skills and expertise as to how design thinking can create a more equitable and sustainable world for us all.”

<description><![CDATA[ Just in time for Women&#039;s History Month, a new podcast called 29% Equal recently launched, bringing attention to the influence of several women architects on the way the profession is practiced today.
Produced by Newcastle University doctoral candidate Sarah Ackland with support from the RIBA Research Fund, three episodes of the six-part series are available so far, featuring voices like Farshid Moussavi, 2021 MJ Long Prize winner Alice Brownfield, activist architect Elsie Owusu (herself a guest on Archinect&#039;s podcast in 2016), and others working in the UK — in close association with the Part W action group — towards similar goals aligned with gender equity and the representation of women in academia, professional practice, and architectural history.
“In an effort to eliminate this continual erasure of women, I have invited a young architect, designer, artist or activist from Part W (and friends) to have a discussion with a woman they feel deserves recognition, or perhaps more recogn... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ British architect David Chipperfield has been awarded the 2023 Pritzker Prize.
The Pritzker jury described Chipperfield as a &quot;prolific architect who is radical in his restraint, demonstrating his reverence for history and culture while honoring the preexisting built and natural environments, as he reimagines functionality and accessibility of new buildings, renovations and restorations through timeless modern design that confronts climate urgencies, transforms social relationships and reinvigorates cities.&quot;
James-Simon-Galerie, photo courtesy of Simon Menges“I am so overwhelmed to receive this extraordinary honour and to be associated with the previous recipients who have all given so much inspiration to the profession,” Chipperfield said in reaction. “I take this award as an encouragement to continue to direct my attention not only to the substance of architecture and its meaning but also to the contribution that we can make as architects to address the existential challenges of cl... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The results are in for Archinect readers’ annual Pritzker Prize predictions! 
Following this discussion forum thread and quick social media polling, Archinectors have come up with their best guesses (along with the usual sarcastic responses) as to who will succeed recent laureates Balkrishna Doshi, Lacaton &amp; Vassal, and Diébédo Francis Kéré for architecture’s highest honor before the winner of this year’s prize will be officially announced tomorrow, March 7th. 
The polls on Archinect&#039;s Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram channels produced a nearly neck-and-neck tie between David Adjaye and David Chipperfield, likely in response to their mid-career and recent works (including the recent Abrahamic Family House and James Simon Gallery, respectively) and ignoring their criticisms and minor controversies. Moshe Safdie, who just published a memoir and opened important new buildings in South America, was another popular name, along with Jeanne Gang and Obama Presidential Center designers TWBT... ]]></description>

The architect of many noteworthy international designs — including London’s 20 Fenchurch Street (aka the “Walkie Talkie Tower”) and the controversial 432 Park Avenue in Manhattan — reportedly succumbed to a brain aneurysm. In a statement on the firm&#039;s website, his son Román said: &quot;The firm’s partners and directors, many of whom have collaborated with him for decades, will extend his architectural legacy in the work we will continue to perform every day.&quot;

<description><![CDATA[ Shigeru Ban Architects is operating in Turkey in response to the devastating earthquake that killed more than 50,000 across the region last month while leaving an estimated 3 million unsheltered in two countries.
The firm’s non-profit Voluntary Architects&#039; Network (VAN) released details Thursday about their recent deployment of the same Paper Partition System (PPS) temporary shelter seen in Ukraine and elsewhere in response to situations where masses of people have been displaced following earthquakes in Japan, Nepal, and two other countries. 
Ban, who had previously delivered temporary Paper Log House designs to displaced persons after the devastating 1999 İzmit earthquake, pioneered the technique of installing a structure made of approximately 2x2-meter paper tubes over which fabric privacy curtains can be installed. The first PPS version was deployed in Japan in 2011 in response to the 3/11 earthquake and was later mentioned as one of several structural innovations in the citatio... ]]></description>

There&#039;s no question that the faces of the industry have changed since pioneering women in the profession made their mark. However, when you look at a realized design project, it&#039;s not always clear who the team of leaders and designers are behind that work.

<description><![CDATA[ The Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation is set to launch the second season of its award-winning audio documentary series New Angle: Voice. Debuting on March 8th to coincide with International Women’s Day, the first episode in the series will explore the story of Ray Eames (1912–1988), with future episodes exploring other influential female figures in design.
The introductory episode on Ray Eames will present a history of her contributions to the arts, architecture, graphic design, textile design, and furniture innovation. The narrative will also be informed by interviews with figures spanning art history, curation, design, the Eames Foundation, and the Library of Congress.
“Our original story about Ray Eames draws on new research of her years as a painter in New York, from archival footage and audio of her media appearances as well as interviews with Eames family members and employees of Eames Office, their design studio in Venice, California,” explained Cynthia Phifer Kracauer A... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) has just announced a milestone change to the Architect Registration Examination (ARE) process that will affect the ARE 5.0 and any subsequent versions to follow.  
The organization says it will now do away with its five-year Rolling Clock Policy governing the length of time it takes to successfully pass each division of the exam and register as a professional architect in the United States. The change will go into place effective May 1st.
The decision was purportedly the result of an analysis that showed disparities of race and gender under the current policy in addition to a marked increase in candidates&#039; competency where that policy was not in place, to begin with. 
Previously on Archinect: Tell us your experience: Challenges on the path to architectural licensure“This research-backed decision to eliminate the rolling clock policy was unanimously supported by the Board of Directors and the new score validity policy ... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The 18th Venice Architecture Biennale officially announced its 89-strong slate of participants for this year’s exhibition titled “The Laboratory of the Future,” curated by the Scottish-Ghanaian architect and academic Lesley Lokko.
Opening May 20th, the Biennale will run through November 26th and feature an even 50-50 gender parity and the representation of more than half of this year’s participating artists identifying with the African diaspora. The diversity highlighted by the selection underscores the broader theme focused on the social effects of climate change and decolonization while attending to Lokko’s curatorial aim to “put forward ambitious and creative ideas that help us imagine a more equitable and optimistic future in common.”
Theaster Gates, Adjaye Associates, Hood Design Studio, atelier masōmī, and Pritzker-winner Francis Kéré were among those selected to participate in the exhibition. The exhibition is divided into six parts and includes participation from notable s... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Three architects and planners — Michael Maltzan, Maurice Cox, and Merrill Elam — have been announced as part of this year’s class of newly-elected members to the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
They were joined by Oscar-winning actor Frances McDormand and Ukrainian author Andrey Kurkov in the nineteen-member group of inductees which will be honored in a special ceremony to be held on May 24th in New York City. (Kurkov, who is being inducted into Foreign Honorary membership, will also deliver a keynote address.)
The 300-member Academy was founded there in 1898 and has included luminaries such as Mark Twain and Cass Gilbert and currently features 30 member architects including Billie Tsien, Steven Holl, Elizabeth Diller, Meejin Yoon, Walter Hood, and last year’s inductees Mabel O. Wilson, Deborah Berke, Michael Van Valkenburgh, and Thomas Phifer.

<title>Kenzo Tange&amp;apos;s &amp;apos;Boat Gymnasium&amp;apos; in Japan faces demolition</title>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/kenzo-tanges-boat-gymnasium-in-japan-faces-demolition</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ An important Kenzo Tange design is facing an uncertain future in Japan’s Kagawa Prefecture after reports that authorities there are moving forward with the demolition of his 1964 “Boat Gymnasium” over disrepair and an apparent inability to fund seismic structural upgrades.
The Brutalist structure in Takamatsu was first shuttered in 2014 and has since been the subject of preservation pushes that unsuccessfully pressured the government to save the building, which shares many of the same stylistic elements as his masterwork Yoyogi National Gymnasium built the same year for the Olympic games in Tokyo. 
The news comes almost a year removed from the final fate of the Kisho Kurokawa-designed Nakagin Capsule Tower, which is now being disbursed piecemeal to private enthusiasts and public collections after a long back-and-forth came to a close with preservationists on the losing end.

<description><![CDATA[ Former Princeton University School of Architecture Dean Robert Geddes has passed away at 99.
Born in Philadelphia in 1923, Geddes served in the United States Army Air Force during World War II before finishing his studies at Yale and then earning an M.Arch from the Harvard Graduate School of Design. From there, Geddes went on to practice briefly under Hugh Stubbins in Cambridge, designing what would be the runner-up in the Sydney Opera House competition before returning to Philadelphia to form Geddes Qualls Brecher Cunningham Architects (or GQCA) in 1960.
Their most significant building, the 125,000-square-foot Brutalist Philadelphia Police Headquarters has turned into one of the city’s most fraught and essentially iconic landmarks. After initially being intended as a progressive example of then-Mayor Richardson Dilworth’s “de-politicized” police force, the structure would later take on a more sinister connotation as a symbol of violent authoritarianism and abuse thanks to (un-autho... ]]></description>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/president-biden-fires-architect-of-the-capitol-brett-blanton</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ President Biden on Monday fired J. Brett Blanton, the federal official responsible for the maintenance and operation of the Capitol complex, amid bipartisan calls for his resignation, after an investigative report accusing him of misusing his position and revelations that he avoided the Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack.Blanton, who had faced calls for removal over accusations about abuse of government property while in office, was only recently revealed to have been in absentia on the afternoon of January 6th. Speculation had remained over the President’s willingness to remove the AOC from the 10-year appointment posting, the revised ability to do so by joint resolution being one of the would-be powers the past congress attempted unsuccessfully to elbow in at the last second. With his removal, no members of the Capitol Police Board who were working on January 6th are serving in the roles they occupied on the day of the insurrection.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ As part of the Thesis Review series Katherine Guimapang connected with Gehry Prize winner and recent M.Arch graduate Sophie Akoury, to discuss her project, 51mi + 25km = 13ft, which explores &quot;the city&#039;s infamous LA River and how its physical and historical existence parallels Lebanon&#039;s Beirut River.&quot;
Image: World Architecture FestivalPlus, Niall Patrick Walsh attended the 2022 World Architecture Festival and found that while 
&quot;The pandemic offered the architectural community an insight into what a digital version of WAF could be, and for now, the community remains unconvinced…retrospective reviews or analyses of an event do little to inform the event in real-time, nor do they offer the architectural community-at-large an opportunity to experience the social serendipity or critical acclaim that the physical WAF can so effortlessly execute. A widely-disseminated digital event is evidently not the current solution to this conundrum&quot;.

<description><![CDATA[ MVRDV co-founder Nathalie de Vries is among 50 women to be included in the Forbes 50 Over 50: Europe, Middle East, and Africa 2023 list. Building on the inaugural 2022 edition, the list is intended to honor “foundations, business, and political leaders, scientists, and vanguards leading the way throughout Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.”
“Dutch architect Nathalie de Vries puts the “DV” in Rotterdam-based design firm MVRDV,” Forbes writes. “A founding partner of the firm, De Vries has designed everything from three Dutch national monuments to co-working spaces and hotels to the unique, multi-use Baltyk Tower in Poland—one of the many major projects she’s completed after turning 50. Her urban designs focus on sustainability and innovation and have won awards such as the Amsterdamprijs and architecture’s prominent Architizer A+ Award.”

<description><![CDATA[ Former Columbia GSAPP dean James Stewart Polshek has been posthumously honored with a new endowed scholarship in recognition of the commitment to design excellence and social causes he embodied while helming the school for fifteen years.
The Ennead founder passed away in September and was subsequently remembered with a foundational gift of $125,000 from the firm that was meant to keep alive his enduring legacy as both an architect and educator. The new $350,000 total fund will thus be given in perpetuity to an M.Arch student in their final year of study whose work demonstrates the intellectual rigor and social concern Polshek strove for beginning with his appointment in 1972.

<description><![CDATA[ Influential Canadian architect Phyllis Lambert and SANAA co-founder Kazuyo Sejima have been named as this year&#039;s respective winners of the Jane Drew and Ada Louise Huxtable prizes by the UK-based publications Architects’ Journal and The Architectural Review as part of the annual W Awards program, now in its 11th year.
Lambert was awarded the Ada Louise Huxtable Prize for her influence on the culture of architecture. Her early work with Mies van der Rohe on New York’s Seagram Building has been well documented, along with the influence spread throughout her native country after founding the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) in Montreal in 1979. Her influence is still widely felt today in both countries. As AR’s Deputy Editor Eleanor Beaumont said, Lambert encourages us to “always be curious.”

<title>The lessons we’re still ‘Learning from Las Vegas’ after 50 years</title>
<link>https://archiecho.com/the-lessons-were-still-learning-from-las-vegas-after-50-years</link>
<guid>https://archiecho.com/the-lessons-were-still-learning-from-las-vegas-after-50-years</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ What struck me when I went back to reread the book is how deliberately it works to collapse the distance, and therefore the distinction, between enthusiasm and skepticism, and ultimately between documentation and critique. Above all, “Learning from Las Vegas” argues for a curious and open-minded anti-utopianism, for understanding cities as they are rather than how planners wish they might be—and then using that knowledge, systematically and patiently won, as the basis for new architecture.Yale’s new visiting critic Christopher Hawthorne considers the lasting inspirational qualities and history of Steven Izenour, Denise Scott Brown, and Robert Venturi&#039;s seminal 1972 text, whose origins can be traced to a studio the young newlyweds taught in New Haven in the fall of 1968. Hawthrone places it alongside Reynar Banham’s Los Angeles: The Architecture of Four Ecologies — published the year before — in an antiquated canon but says its impartial tone should be emulated by a new generation of high-minded designers hoping to dismantle or improve the pernicious social and environmental ramparts of our young century.

<description><![CDATA[ Michigan-based manufacturing company Steelcase has announced the creation of the Frank Lloyd Wright Racine Collection, a range of furniture that pays homage to the products designed by the famous architect in 1939 for the SC Johnson Administration Building in Racine, Wisconsin. Having worked with Wright to produce the furniture for the original 1939 building, Steelcase has sought to develop a new range that “reintroduces, reinterprets, and reimagines the classic furniture designs of Wright.”
Frank Lloyd Wright Racine Signature Collection. Image credit: SteelcaseWright’s relationship with Steelcase began with the Johnson Wax Headquarters in 1939 and has continued through 1985 with their ongoing stewardship of Wright’s Meyer May House in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

<description><![CDATA[ David Adjaye has issued a statement in response to the ongoing scrutiny of the design fees and commissioning of the National Cathedral of Ghana project in his home country.
Speaking to the Ghanaian outlet Joy News after the new year, the architect dismissed claims of preferential treatment and financial impropriety on the project, stating that nothing was “hidden or opaque” within the process that has become the subject of legal action taken by political opponents to President Nana Akufo-Addo.
The dispute centers on $21.37 million USD worth of fees paid to Adjaye Associates in two installments by the government that were allegedly not approved by the parliament, according to a minority politician who is campaigning for their repayment dependent on the outcome of the country’s 2024 national elections.

<description><![CDATA[ A new endowment fund will provide four-year scholarship opportunities to undergraduate and graduate students pursuing an architecture education in honor of the late architect Doreen Adengo who passed away in 2022 after battling cancer. The scholarship fund has been jointly established by Yale School of Architecture and the Catholic University of America.
Born in Uganda in 1976, Adengo received her B.Arch from Catholic University in 2000 before entering Yale and graduating with an M.Arch in 2005. From there, she went on to found her own eponymous practice (Adengo Architecture) after ten years of working in offices in New York, Washington, D.C., and London.
Adengo left behind a legacy of achievement in both urbanism and architecture that helped greatly influence the development of contemporary architecture and urban design strategies while earning her the reputation and status of a role model for young practitioners.

<description><![CDATA[ A pair of unprecedented changes to the UK’s Architects Act 1997 has been announced jointly by the British Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities and Architects Registration Board (ARB), ending the reciprocal acceptance of qualifications for EU-trained architects that has been observed since it was first established by Parliament. 
Under the new guidelines, the UK will “end, in law, the automatic recognition of architectural qualifications listed in the EU’s Directive on the recognition of professional qualifications.” It will also enable the ARB to enter into “regular-led” recognition agreements with international counterparts, in effect leaving the door open for reciprocity agreements to be negotiated with professional bodies from other individual countries on a case-by-case basis. 
This comes after the ARB finally hammered out a deal last year with the American National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) to ratify a Mutual Recognition Agreement that... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The Estonian Academy of Arts (EKA) has announced professor and architect Sille Pihlak as the new dean of the institute’s Faculty of Architecture. The youngest dean in the EKA’s history, Pihlak will use her position to “highlight the importance of spatial visionaries in contemporary society.”
“Architecture is more than just individualistic house drawings or data-driven urban space design; it also includes a complex social fabric, all of which are intertwined in physical space,” Pihlak said upon her appointment. “So, just as in the rest of the world, the time for change has arrived in architecture, with the academy taking the first bold steps.”

<description><![CDATA[ Lanfranco Cirillo, an Italian art collector who designed a mysterious 18,000 sq. m Black Sea mansion supposedly built for the Russian President Vladimir Putin, will be tried in absentia by an Italian court on financial charges next month. In an interview published by the ANSA news agency on Friday, the architect said that he currently resides in Moscow and claimed that an Interpol Red Notice effectively prevents him from returning to Italy to defend his name.As reported by The Art Newspaper, Cirillo is being investigated for an array of crimes, including fraudulent tax returns, money laundering, the illegal transfer of funds, and for violating the code of protection of cultural heritage. 
Last year, Italian officials raided Cirillo’s villa near Brescia for failing to pay a €50m tax bill, which resulted in the seizure of assets worth $144 million, including jewels, cash, and approximately 150 artworks by the likes of Pablo Picasso, Paul Cézanne, and Wassily Kandinsky. 
Cirillo claims that he was advised not to travel to Italy because of an Interpol Red Notice request that calls for his arrest pending extradition. His trial is set to open on February 23rd. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Noted French modernist and social housing pioneer Renée Gailhoustet passed away on January 4th at her home outside of Paris, the nation’s largest newspaper, Le Monde, reported earlier on Tuesday.
Known for creating the master plan for Ivry-sur-Seine; the 1972 Cité Spinoza housing complex in the same town; Le Liégat (where she also resided); and the La Maladrerie development in the suburb of Aubervilliers, Gailhoustet’s designs in the typology were critically important in their divergence from the Corbusian model of planning that predominated in the country in the decades following World War II.
After attending the École Nationale des Beaux-Arts de Paris, Gailhoustet began her own practice in the French capital in 1964. From there, she gained recognition for her innovative, socially-conscious contributions to urban renewal projects in Ivry-sur-Seine, Villejuif, and Saint-Denis that mirrored approaches later taken up by architects like Moshe Safdie in their insistence upon more humane... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Gregory Ain wanted to create social housing in Los Angeles. Dogged by the FBI, his hope for more egalitarian architecture never came to be.Does it surprise you that an architect dedicating his life&#039;s work would be declared, with the pressure of the real estate industry and communism scare, a public enemy and had the FBI trying really hard to discriminate against him for years?
That architect is Gregory Ain, who developed attainable methods of egalitarian housing solutions and the architecturally beautiful examples he designed and built. His illustrious but low-key career spanned from working for Rudolph Schindler and Richard Neutra, collaborating with the Eames to figure out the plywood chair molds they famously produced, being awarded a Guggenheim on the advice of Walter Gropius and Mies van der Rohe, working with landscape architect Garrett Eckbo on the housing projects, to teaching at USC and Penn State and later ironically &quot;retiring&quot; from architecture.

<description><![CDATA[ Embattled Architect of the Capitol J. Brett Blanton could be getting one step closer to being forced out of his job after the outgoing 117th Congress finally proposed last-minute legislation that would make it easier for the Trump appointee to be removed from office following an Inspector General’s investigation into the abuse of his title while in office.
CBS News has the latest details on the effort to hold Blanton accountable for his actions, which reportedly included the misrepresentation of himself as a law enforcement official and multiple misuses of his government-provided SUV by him and his family.
Under the proposed new legislation, the formerly term-limited appointment would for the first time be subject to the conditional removal of its office holder via an impeachment or Congressional joint resolution finding either “permanent disability, inefficiency, neglect of duty, malfeasance; or a felony or conduct involving moral turpitude.”

<description><![CDATA[ Archinect’s editorial is no stranger to covering project delays. In the second half of 2022 alone, we covered news of construction setbacks at the International African American Museum, the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. However, such high-profile examples are far from outliers but are instead representative of an endemic issue in the AEC industry.
According to research by University of Oxford professor Bent Flyvbjerg, whose team analyzed 16,000 construction projects around the world, only 8.5% of projects are delivered on time and on budget. In search of an explanation, Flyvbjerg and his colleague Dan Gardner turned to what at first seemed an unexpected resource: Frank Gehry.

<description><![CDATA[ Arata Isozaki is dead. The famed designer of many of post-war Japan’s most significant public buildings and cultural commissions and winner of the 2019 Pritzker Prize passed away peacefully on Wednesday at his home in Okinawa, according to the New York Times. 
Born in Ōita Prefecture in 1931, Isozaki studied at the University of Tokyo before working in the office of Kenzo Tange and then setting out to form his own practice in 1963. He was among a generation of Japanese star architects and designers, including contemporaries Issey Miyake, Shiro Kuramata, and Kisho Kurokawa, that indelibly changed the way the country was perceived and spoke to the world, authoring the designs for several key structures rendered in his ever-changing and aberrant interpretation of the metabolic style.

<description><![CDATA[ New details are emerging on Norman Foster’s proposed master plan for the besieged Ukrainian city of Kharkiv. 
Popular German outlet DW.com has some information on the plan, which Foster and Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov have yet to make publicly available following an initial announcement in April.
For now, the plan reportedly entails at least five “pilot projects” and an interior overhaul of the city’s destroyed House of Regional Administration building that is similar to the firm’s reconstruction of the Reichstag by leaving only its existing facade remaining over a modernized interior. 
Among the pilot projects, a new science and technology center will be enacted in addition to an unspecified “architectural landmark” at the city’s center and new 6-kilometer (3.72-mile) pedestrian park at the confluence of the city’s Kharkiv and Nemyshlya rivers. Further “Industry” and “Housing” pilots will involve the adaptive reuse of surviving residential buildings and a coal-fired power plant, pr... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Each year, the industry loses a host of leading figures whose careers as practitioners, educators, theorists, and writers have brought architecture and design to the place it occupies today. Annual remembrances are a valuable means of examining the luminaries and thought leaders who gifted us with award-winning architecture, groundbreaking intellectual dialogue, and social achievements. This year’s list was no exception. 
Below is a summary of the prominent figures we said goodbye to in 2022. 
Ricardo Bofill (1939–2022)
Ricardo Bofill Known for the optimism and complexity of his detail-oriented designs, Bofill’s work was shaped early on by the changing political landscape of his native country before evolving in scale, materials usage, and vernacular inspiration by the dawn of the new Millennium that would bare some of his best-received buildings.

<description><![CDATA[ As the architecture industry reviews another year filled with a range of ups and downs, it&#039;s an important time to reflect on what progress has been made when it comes to important topics such as social justice, activism, equity, and diversity initiatives within architecture. While we&#039;ve already highlighted this year&#039;s controversies, it&#039;s important to ask: Has the architecture industry made advances toward social justice, diversity, and inclusion in 2022?
Effective change takes time. Continuing with our 2022 year in review, let&#039;s look back at the challenges, obstacles, and successes that the industry faced surrounding inclusive design, diverse leadership, social justice, and representation.

<title>Architect Amale Andraos debuts first&#45;ever jewelry collection for Judith Ripka</title>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/architect-amale-andraos-debuts-first-ever-jewelry-collection-for-judith-ripka</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ “The challenge was adjusting to the scale,” Andraos said. “When I first started sketching, the pieces were much bigger. I remember the reaction — the team was very excited about the ideas but I wasn’t computing the budget,” adding that the process of design is “always the same across scales, but this experience was very different because the scale of jewelry and the way it relates to the body is so precise.”Andraos, who stepped down as Dean of Columbia&#039;s GSAPP last May, told WWD that her inspiration to make jewelry for the first time came from her hometown of Beirut’s Art Deco tradition. Other architects like Elena Manferdini and Rossana Hu have contributed designs for the Judith Ripka brand. Pieces from Andraos’ new Ayah Collection retail for between $550 and $1,995. The WORKac co-founder will now rejoin the faculty in Morningside Heights in September after a yearlong sabbatical. 
Related Feature Interview on Archinect: Deans List: Amale Andraos of Columbia University&#039;s GSAPP“If you look at Amale’s body of work, she is known for asymmetry. Most people prefer symmetry in jewelry so it was an interesting challenge for us to wrap our heads around Amale’s aesthetic and make it work in jewelry,” CEO and GSAPP alumnus Robert D’Loren of Xcel Brands, Ripka’s parent company, added. “There are several finishes on the metal work, from shiny to matte which creates this remarkable sense of balance... ]]></description>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/denise-scott-brown-says-shes-not-pleased-with-selldorf-architects-sainsbury-wing-redesign</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A considerable row has sprung up concerning Selldorf Architects&#039; controversial revamp of the National Gallery&#039;s Sainsbury Wing after one of its original co-designers, Denise Scott Brown, made comments over the weekend indicating a disagreement and lack of support for the currently under-review proposal. 
&quot;She’s making our building look like a circus clown,&quot; Scott Brown told The Guardian&#039;s James Tapper without elaborating on which specific elements the already widely-opposed plans she has an issue with. &quot;There are elements of tragedy – circus clowns are made up to look happy, but they’re not. This is a circus clown wearing a tutu.&quot;
Selldorf had previously mentioned in an April New York Times preview of her MOCA San Diego makeover and in another Architects Journal update from August that she had spoken with Scott Brown about both projects. During our coverage of the Sainsbury Wing in October, Seldorf said, &quot;she has been counseled by the wing&#039;s original co-architect Denise Scott Brown ... ]]></description>

<title>Adjaye announces new rammed earth commission for The Griot Museum of Black History in St. Louis</title>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/adjaye-announces-new-rammed-earth-commission-for-the-griot-museum-of-black-history-in-st-louis</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The Griot Museum of Black History will soon be home to a public art installation from the designer of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture.

Architect David Adjaye will design Asaase III, a monument that surrounds the museum. The structure will be built of rammed earth, a process using soil and other natural materials from the St. Louis region to make solid structures.The rammed earth installation is the new Order of Merit appointee’s second such following his well-profiled commission for Antwaun Sargent’s Social Works show at the Gagosian Gallery in New York. Adjaye had also incorporated earthwork into his commission for the 2019 Venice Biennale and design for the Thabo Mbeki Presidential Library and has referred to it beyond materiality as “another creature” that will join 30 other designs in the three-month public art installation COUNTERPUBLIC, which debuts this Spring.
“Since it’s outdoors and it&#039;s intended to be a community of public peace, we really wanted it to be reflective of that,” the museum’s founder Lois Conley said of the deeper inspiration behind the project. “Some of the soils will be coming from various areas that had relevantly large African American populations, whether they exist anymore or not. We still wanted to have some of that material.” ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ A new project from New York-based duo New Affiliates is making headlines in the Queens neighborhood of Edgemere, where architects Ivi Diamantopoulou and Jaffer Kolb have invented a radical new way of reusing one of the design processes’ most wasteful customs – discarded architectural mock-ups.
With the help of Columbia GSAPP doctoral candidate Samuel Stewart-Halevy, the pair have begun a pilot program called Testbeds that takes the temporary structures and repurposes them as toolsheds for community gardens around the city.
Previously on Archinect: The Founders of NY-based New Affiliates Discuss How Their Love for Arguing Betters Their WorkBeginning with the generally underserved neighborhood located on the Rockaway peninsula, Testbeds has been experimenting with a new way of adapting the notion of a “circular economy” into the built environment.

<description><![CDATA[ One of the more prominent modern German architects of his time is being mourned after news that von Gerkan, Marg + Partners co-founder Meinhard von Gerkan died last week at the age of 87.
Born in Latvia in 1935, von Gerkan grew up in Hamburg after being orphaned in World War II. Following the completion of his studies at the Technical University of Braunschweig, von Gerkan opened the practice known today as gmp with his classmate and business partner Volkwin Marg in 1965. The firm won its first mainstream success with the completion of the beloved (now decommissioned) Berlin Tegel Airport design in 1974 and went on to grow into one of the country’s largest practices, with over 600 staffers and offices in Hamburg, Berlin, Aachen, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Beijing, and Hanoi.

<description><![CDATA[ Several chapters of the AIA in California, including AIA California and AIA Los Angeles, have published an open letter to the California Architects Board (CAB) in opposition to proposed changes in how licensed architects in the state must advertise their license number. California Code of Regulations 135 (CCR 135) would require licensed architects to include their license number on “all forms of advertisement presented to the public in connection with an offer to provide architectural services.”
According to CAB, the new regulations are designed to raise public awareness of the difference between unlicensed and licensed architectural services by requiring architects to display their licensure numbers in advertising.

<description><![CDATA[ The federal Architect of the Capitol is under scrutiny for ethics violations after apparently using his office to give “patriotic” private tours in the weeks leading up to the contentious elections of November 2020.
The Washington Post is reporting that Trump appointee J. Brett Blanton is now being investigated by the federal Inspector General’s office for allegedly using his office to give family members access to government-owned vehicles and areas of the capitol building that had been restricted due to Covid-19. 
The office’s report identified “a significant amount of administrative, ethical, and policy violations as well as evidence of criminal violations throughout the investigation,” including several incidents where Blanton misrepresented himself as a police officer (a class misdemeanor under District of Columbia law) in addition to a campaign of “fraud, waste, and abuse against not only the AOC but also the taxpayer.”

<description><![CDATA[ One of the most significant Canadian architects of his era is being remembered this week after news that Diamond Schmitt co-founder Abel Joseph “Jack” Diamond passed away this weekend in Toronto at the age of 89.
Diamond was a mainstay on his adopted country’s architecture scene since first going into the practice in the early 1960s. Born in South Africa in 1932, Diamond studied for an architecture degree at the University of Cape Town in 1956 before reading Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) at Oxford University and then immigrating to the United States to attend the University of Pennsylvania, where he completed his master’s studies in architecture and began his career as an apprentice to Louis Kahn.
Diamond moved to Toronto in 1964, where he served as the inaugural director of UT’s Master of Architecture program and eventually founded his own practice, A.J. Diamond Architects, with American Barton Myers in 1975.

<description><![CDATA[ A two-person delegation from the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) will be present as observers of next week’s COP27 summit in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, in an unprecedented move first announced yesterday by the organization.
Landprocess founder Kotchakorn Voraakhom and Climate Positive Design founder/CMG Landscape Architecture principal Pamela Conrad will travel to the conference in order to present the ASLA Climate Action Plan to attendees, which is set for publication on November 12th.
The plan is an extension of the International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA) Climate Action Commitment that was announced at last year’s summit. The 27th edition is taking place under a rather unique set of circumstances colored by an ongoing land war and a recent UN report that called for up to $6 trillion in annual green investments in order to combat its updated prediction indicating the world is now on track to warm between 2.1 to 2.9°C by the end of the century.

<description><![CDATA[ Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture (AS+GG) has published a new book charting the firm’s design and delivery of some of the world’s tallest structures. Titled Supertall | Megatall: How High Can We Go?, the book uses drawings and details from AS+GG’s archives to explore projects from the viewpoint of sustainability, technology, programming, and contextualization.
Among the schemes featured in the book are the Central Park Tower in New York City, the Chengdu Greenland Tower in China, and the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, which still holds the record of the world’s tallest building.

<description><![CDATA[ The American Institute of Architects (AIA) together along with the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) has published a new supplement to its Guides for Equitable Practice in order to reflect a renewed focus of university education and institutions.
The supplement, titled Equity in Architectural Education, is intended to provide teachers and administrators with scenarios, actions, and prompts that “inspire discussions about creating welcoming environments to attract and retain those currently underrepresented in academia and in the profession.”
It is also useful to the majority of practitioners whose firms employ student interns and recent graduates, prospective high school students, and others interested in entering the field as its output importantly “defines the concept of culture in architectural education” and subsequent impacts in the working world.

<title>Soane Medalist Peter Barber on some possible fixes to the UK&amp;apos;s housing crisis</title>

<description><![CDATA[ There is no housing shortage. There are over 400,000 empty homes in the UK, and about 200,000 homeless people. The vast majority of empty homes are in parts of the country which have become depopulated because of economic decline – in the Midlands, the north, and coastal cities. So the solution to the housing crisis isn’t building tons of homes. It’s about reviving the economy in those places, launching a massive retrofit campaign, and bringing people back.”“We could end the housing crisis overnight, if we wanted to,” Barber told Oliver Wainwright in a recent interview, referring to the private grab on council housing that has developed unabated since the Thatcher administration&#039;s Right-to-Buy laws came into effect in 1980. “We should introduce private sector rent controls, halt the selling of council houses under right to buy, and build 150,000 council homes a year funded by direct taxation.&quot;  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ A leading figure in the architecture industry is being mourned after Payette announced the passing of its founder Tom Payette last week at the age of 90.
Payette was considered an innovator in the design of healthcare facilities and scientific high-ed buildings, garnering a consistent stream of AIA national awards and the admiration of the hundreds of other practitioners he came to collaborate with on similar projects via the entity that became his eponymous firm. 
“Tom was courageous, no challenge was unachievable, and no disappointment could phase him,” his colleague and current Payette President Kevin Sullivan remembered. “He encouraged us to do remarkable things, always looking forward, never dwelling on the past and always encouraging us to do great design, but most importantly, never allowing us to forget the importance of family and maintaining a life beyond architecture.”

<description><![CDATA[ A new report and exhibition inspecting the state of some of the most at-risk designs by Fredrick Law Olmsted and his successor firms have been released by The Cultural Landscape Foundation (TCLF) in honor of the storied landscape architect’s 200th birthday.
This year’s Landslide report has identified twelve Olmsted projects in nine states and Canada that are under threat of a range of challenges including climate change, maintenance delays, and the overall lack of funding.

<description><![CDATA[ New York’s Bard College has announced a new commission from architect Maya Lin that will deliver a performing arts studio building to its 540-acre Annandale-on-Hudson campus.
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial designer will team with Bialosky and acoustic specialists Charcoalblue to deliver a 25,000-square-foot space just west of the school’s Frank Gehry-designed Richard B. Fisher Center.
According to Bard, the sloping green-roofed building will contain five separate “state-of-the-art” studios connected by a series of “gathering hubs” that will host the school’s Fisher Center LAB residency program while doubling as a font for creative exploration for Bard students and faculty.

<description><![CDATA[ “In the 70s and 80s, my ideas were ignored. I was antagonistic to postmodernism [...] and I paid a price.”The 84-year-old Habitat 67 mastermind sat down with Rowan Moore to discuss his career and new memoir If Walls Could Speak: My Life in Architecture. Among other topics, he said he had “no idea” that his 2011 Marina Bay Sands design would become “an instant icon” and that the political situation in his native Israel brings him “great frustration” even though he believes supporters of the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanction) movement are making a “stupid mistake.”
Safdie then spoke to the chilling reception that met his post-Habitat endeavors in Puerto Rico and New York, which failed to “replicate like mushrooms” as the then 30-something architect had expected. An exhibition of Safdie’s unrealized work is conveniently on display at the Boston Architectural College’s McCormick Gallery from now through January 2nd.

<description><![CDATA[ A historically significant mid-century modern home designed by SCI-Arc founding director Ray Kappe has hit the market in Glendale, California, for an asking price of just under $2.2 million.
The Pasadena Star is reporting the recent listing of Kappe’s Goetschel House, a 1954 commission that was recently restored to reflect its original design by HabHouse owner Andreas E.G. Larsson. Thanks to an archive of Kappe’s drawings and sketches for the home kept at the Getty Research Institute, Larsson hastened a yearlong renovation that added new elements such as a pergola and an outdoor shower to the property, which had been partly demolished. At the end of the restoration, the home had appreciated in value by nearly seven figures over the original sale price of $1.33 million.

<description><![CDATA[ What started as a self-funded project from New York-based architect Adam Paul Susaneck is gaining attention over its unique ability to paint a picture of the effects of racial segregation in the 180 American cities included in the controversial Federal Highway Act of 1956. 
Inspired by Richard Rothstein’s The Color of Law, Susaneck launched his Segregation by Design project in early 2021 to &quot;reveal the extent to which the American city was methodically hollowed out based on race.&quot;
Susaneck is in league with others who have been calling on the Biden Administration to dismantle the legacy of race-based discrimination laden in America’s aging highway network and says the trifold goal of the project is to: 1. Create an &quot;Atlas of Urban Renewal&quot; in book form; 2. Create digital materials for local groups opposing ongoing freeway expansion; and 3. Continue to grow the followership of Segregation by Design’s social media channels (which to date number some 132,000).

<description><![CDATA[ The nation’s capital is mourning the loss of one of its preeminent architectural minds after reports that Arthur Cotton Moore passed away at his home on September 4th at the age of 87.
Moore is most often credited with the development of Washington Harbour and meticulous renovation of the Library of Congress&#039;s main Thomas Jefferson and John Adams buildings, in addition to the restoration of D.C.&#039;s tallest residential tower, The Cairo, further renovations of the Phillips Collection and Old Post Office Building (which recently reopened as a Waldorf Astoria offshoot), and numerous commercial projects around the city.

<description><![CDATA[ A rare modest figure in a crowded era of star architects and designers has passed away as the New York Times is reporting the death of James Stewart Polshek on Friday at his home in Manhattan. 
Polshek was known as the designer of the William J. Clinton Presidential Library and Museum in Little Rock, Arkansas, the Newtown Creek sewage plant in Brooklyn, and Newseum in Washington, D.C., among many others. His colleagues recalled him as a progressive champion who balanced the ideological pull of high modernism with a sensitivity to different forms, themes, building types, and architectural styles. In a statement published by the Architectural Record, Polshek’s former firm partner Richard Olcott said he was &quot;ahead of his time.&quot;

<description><![CDATA[ I’ve seen miracles happen. I’ve seen ordinary people do the most heroic things. When you’ve had the privilege of knowing so many great fighters and resisters, you can’t lay down the sword, even if things seem objectively hopeless.The terminally-ill City of Quartz author sat down recently with The Guardian to discuss his waning health and look back at prescient early warnings of the state’s slow-motion social and ecological demise that has taken three decades to manifest. True to form, Davis was critical of everything: from “fascist” LA novelist Raymond Chandler to Governor Gavin Newsom’s penchant for arrogating his administration’s response to the climate crisis that has been exacerbated by even increasingly harmful and foolhardy attempts to mitigate the housing crisis in Los Angels and other non-urban areas across the state.

<description><![CDATA[ Milwaukee has declared Friday, September 16th as Santiago Calatrava Day, in celebration of the architect’s contribution to the city. Calatrava’s legacy in the city comes in the form of the Milwaukee Art Museum’s Quadracci Pavilion, known locally as “The Calatrava.”
The pavilion opened in 2001 following four years of construction. Designed in collaboration with local architect David Kahler Slater, the project was Calatrava’s first building in the United States. Three years after the pavilion’s completion, Calatrava would unveil his design for the World Trade Center Transportation Hub in Lower Manhattan.
A 2013 photo of the Calatrava building courtesy Wikimedia Commons user Uriel-carmen“What I love about Milwaukee is the city adopted it, even though it seems very foreign to what’s being made here, as the image of the city,” said Mo Zell, an associate professor and chair of the UWM architecture department in a 2020 reflection on Calatrava’s Quadracci Pavilion. “That’s a great thing whe... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Nearly five months have passed since the tumultuous March 25 Basecamp panel discussion and the wave of controversies that came after. While the LA-based architecture school has slowly faded from heavy media reporting, the team at Archinect has kept an eye out for any updates and changes coming from the school. 
However, recent news from the school sent out via email to the SCI-Arc Community has announced essential policy changes AND the resignations of Tom Wiscombe and Marrikka Trotter, who have received intense heat from students, alums, and the architecture community at large.

<description><![CDATA[ On the heels of Safdie’s massive donation to his alma mater McGill University, the 84-year-old architect sat down with CNN in Singapore to dissect his career and discuss his new memoir If Walls Could Speak out next week from Grove Atlantic. 
The creator of the iconic Marina Bay Sands (which is about to begin work on a $1.35 billion expansion he says will not include an extension of its famous skybridge) touched briefly on impressive recent designs around Asia, including the Jewel Changi Airport, Habitat Qinhuangdao, and Raffles City Chongqing before veering off into an assessment of the region’s labor markets. He then reasserted the idealism that helped define his career and lamented the contemporary faddish use of biophilia — an element critical to the philosophies that are inherent in his garden-lined residential designs.

<description><![CDATA[ Norman Foster is in San Marino this week to present what he says is a new set of sustainable urban design principles to the 83rd meeting of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe’s Committee on Urban Development, Housing, and Land Management.
The so-called San Marino Declaration appears as a sort of guidebook around which architects and urban planners can build cities that are “climate-neutral, safer, more inclusive, and resilient.” In it, a set of eleven interrelated principles are floated for universal adaptation based on past actions and directives taken by the UN Secretary-General that carry broad and direct implications to the built environment and ascending migration of populations into urban centers across the globe.

<description><![CDATA[ For more than three decades, Clive Wilkinson has been among the most sought-after office designers in the world. He has planned spaces for the likes of Microsoft, Disney, Intuit and other companies seeking unorthodox approaches to work life.

But he now has regrets about what is perhaps his most famous work: Googleplex, the tech giant&#039;s posh headquarters in Mountain View, Calif.Wilkinson’s statements offer a rebuke to the Silicon Valley culture he played a role in pioneering and now deems to be &quot;fundamentally unhealthy.&quot; The $1 billion office complex in Mountain View, California designed by WIlkinson and STUDIOS Architecture is serviced by a secretive $250 million transportation network and is famous for its plush employee perks that Wilkinson now says he regrets. 
&quot;This notion that you can provide everything that would support a worker&#039;s life on campus might appear to be extremely generous and supportive,&quot; he told NPR’s Bobby Allyn. &quot;But it also has a whole range of potentially negative impacts. Work-life balance cannot be achieved by spending all your life on a work campus. It&#039;s not real. It&#039;s not really engaging with the world in the way most people do.

<description><![CDATA[ In 2019, ten architects, artists, designers, and academics came together to discuss their plans for an upcoming exhibition with MoMA&#039;s curatorial team. Emanuel Admassu, Germane Barnes, Sekou Cooke, J. Yolande Daniels, Felecia Davis, Mario Gooden, Walter J. Hood, Olalekan Jeyifous, V. Mitch McEwen, and Amanda Williams gathered to discuss what their involvement and exhibition would be and represent. These conversations and exchanges of thoughts and opinions helped birth the Black Reconstruction Collective (BRC). 
Founded in 2020, the BRC has gone on to develop groundbreaking work like the MoMA exhibition Reconstructions: Architecture and Blackness in America, as well as receiving grants from the Graham Foundation, Open Society, and the Mellon Foundation. 
At their core, the group&#039;s primary mission &quot;to multi-scalar and multi-disciplinary work&quot; is dedicated to dismantling &quot;systemic white supremacy and hegemonic whiteness within art, design, and academia.&quot; The founding members exercised ... ]]></description>

<title>Architect of famed Miami Marine Stadium, Hilario Candela passes away at 87</title>

<description><![CDATA[ &quot;Candela believed the campus buildings and the spaces between them were equally important. He described the campus master plans as “a small city of interconnected geometric masses and urban plazas,” and composed the buildings around structural systems of towering columns and cantilevers, connected by covered walkways.&quot;Cuban American architect Hilario Candela passed away this week at the age of 87 due to complications with Covid-19.  With his partner, Peter Spillis, who passed last year in March, the duo were pioneers in the development of Miami&#039;s architectural scene with their eponymous firm Spillis &amp; Candela.  But at the young age of 28, Candela created what will surely be remembered as his masterpiece; a poured concrete stadium with a sweeping geometric cantilevered roof known as the Miami Marine Stadium.  Although the stadium sits idle today waiting for restoration efforts, it was once home to speed boat races, concerts, and many other activities along the waterfront at its location in Key Biscayne.  The impressive structure was considered the longest cantilever in the world at the time of its creation, which Candela created in order for all 6000 plus seats to get a glimpse of the water and downtown Miami skyline.  It has since been designated as a National Treasure from the National Trust of ... ]]></description>

<title>Zaha Hadid Architects has paid almost $16million to keep founder’s name</title>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/zaha-hadid-architects-has-paid-almost-16million-to-keep-founders-name</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Zaha Hadid Architects has paid almost $16million over the past five years in order to retain the name of the late Zaha Hadid in the practice name. The deal, reported by UK outlet Building Online, included  $4.6m (£3.4m) to use the founder’s name in 2021, $3.8m (£2.8m) in both 2020 and 2019, $1m (£780,000) in 2018, and $3.1m (£2.3m) in 2017.
The fees were paid to the Zaha Hadid Foundation, who control the trademark for the late architect. According to Building Online, the fluctuation in figures paid to the foundation are due to the fee’s link to the company’s annual turnover, which have increased gradually since 2018. 
  
The company controlling the firm, officially named Zaha Hadid Limited (ZHL), was placed under the control of an employee-owned trust named Studio 9 in December of 2020, which saw the practice’s former parent company, Zaha Hadid Holdings, relinquish its control over ZHL. In the UK, Limited companies such as ZHL are required to publish annual accounts viewable to the ... ]]></description>

<title>Double profits for Foster + Partners amidst a year of economic recovery</title>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/double-profits-for-foster-partners-amidst-a-year-of-economic-recovery</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The architecture practice run by Sir Norman Foster almost doubled its profits as it expanded in the Middle East and gained new business despite pandemic lockdowns.

Total revenues fell by £33m to £200m in the year ending 30 April 2021, accounts for Foster + Partners, the practice’s main trading company, show. But profits before tax almost doubled to £36.2m during the year, compared with £19.8m in the previous year.New projects included a planned luxury tower development in Greece and a new tourist destination on an artificial island in the Red Sea (although notably, the Tulip Tower did come off the books due to environmental concerns). 
Foster himself is worth well into the nine-figure range and has recently sold a significant portion of his shares to a Canadian investment firm. The firm reported earnings for the past four years that combined are over £900 million ($1.24 billion) in spite of the considerable forces at play economically during the pandemic. Foster + Partners also reported that a £500,000 ($686,000) government loan taken out for their 2020 furlough was repaid. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Sad news to start the new year as the CBC has reported famed architect Eberhard Zeidler has died aged 95 at his home in Canada. 
Zeidler was one of the last living links to the Bauhaus school and the man responsible for some of Canada’s most significant mixed-use urban developments including Ontario Place and the Eaton Centre in Toronto.
Born in Germany in 1926, Zeidler served in the Kriegsmarine under Hitler’s reign and later immigrated to Canada to work in the office of his professor Emanuel Lidner.  Zeidler went on to join another firm in Peterborough called Blackwell, Ziedler and Strong that eventually became Zeidler Architecture. Zeidler had been serving in an emeritus role with the firm since announcing his official retirement in 2009. 
Aside from his practice, Zeidler was an adjunct instructor at the University of Toronto from 1983 until 1995 in addition to his appointments to the Order of Canada and Order of Ontario, which were conferred in 1984. Zeidler was known to priorit... ]]></description>

&quot;Power structures are not dismantled by provocations and open letters, such as this, but by education and deliberate design interventions…Recognizing race as a social construct means it is a fundamental consideration for design professionals…Setting up race education as a supplement to core curricula is a complete disservice to the people who inhabit the spaces we create.&quot; 
ubu loca believed it &quot;well said&quot; and Gary Garvin offered &quot;Thanks…for giving us a chance to air this out.&quot;

<description><![CDATA[ Two patrons of former Texas Tech University professor Robert Bruno’s famous Ransom Canyon are up in arms over the fate of one of American architectural history’s most significant self-built structures.
Texas Monthly is reporting that plans for the corten steel creation have caused an outcry of sorts following news of its recent conversion into a vacation rental outside of Lubbock.
Born out of a sculptural installation that now stands in front of Texas Tech’s architecture building, construction began in 1973 on the structure that eventually grew to around 2,200-square-feet. It took Bruno 35 years to complete the structure, which he moved into just months before his death from cancer in 2008. Now, over a decade after it was last inhabited, the home’s future has become the exclusive endeavor of an enterprising young realtor named Courtney Bartosh. 
Bartosh began listing the home for $1.75 million back in November after acquiring the property from Bruno’s daughter Christina, who had bee... ]]></description>

<title>Santiago Calatrava responds to Venice&amp;apos;s Ponte della fiasco with new details about the bridge&amp;apos;s deterioration</title>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/santiago-calatrava-responds-to-venices-ponte-della-fiasco-with-new-details-about-the-bridges-deterioration</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Santiago Calatrava has sent Archinect a response to the recent news that the Ponte della Costituzione in Venice is set to be retrofit with new stonework following a rash of complaints caused by weather-aided slips on the bridge’s original tempered glass stairs.
The story, first published in The New York Times and picked up by several other media outlets, focused on the glass’s perilous properties, which Calatrava says are due to the inadequate quality of previous replacement efforts. He also stated that he does indeed support the city’s plan to replace the existing glass with trachyte stone, which he said matches the both the bridge and the city&#039;s existing aesthetic.

<description><![CDATA[ Santiago Calatrava has sent Archinect a response to the recent news that the Ponte della Costituzione in Venice is set to be retrofit with new stonework following a rash of complaints caused by weather-aided slips on the bridge’s original tempered glass stairs.
The story, first published in The New York Times and picked up by several other media outlets, focused on the glass’s perilous properties, which Calatrava says are due to the inadequate quality of previous replacement efforts. He also stated that he does indeed support the city’s plan to replace the existing glass with trachyte stone, which he said matches the both the bridge and the city&#039;s existing aesthetic.

<title>Santiago Calatrava’s slippery Venice pedestrian bridge is getting a facelift after multiple injuries</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Officials in Venice are finally caving to local demands to author significant changes to Santiago Calatrava’s Ponta della Costituzione bridge following years of protest and a rash of recent injuries.
The New York Times is reporting that glass from the pedestrian bridge is going to be removed and replaced with more trachyte stone that will avert any possible future spills which have befallen users thanks to the 94-meter-long structure’s slippery surface. 
Located along Venice’s Grand Canal, the bridge was supposed to be a refreshing modern connector to the city’s main rail station but became a liability only a short time after opening in September of 2008.

<description><![CDATA[ More sad news to pass along in the closing days of another tragic year as The New York Times is reporting that influential preservationist and urban planner Donald H. Elliott passed away at his home in Brooklyn this past Thursday.
Elliott was chairman of New York’s City Planning Commission for a number of years through the early 1970s and was instrumental in leading a shift away from the Robert Moses-led planning mandates that were a hallmark of the region in the decades following World War II.
As chairman of the commission, Elliott oversaw the successful effort to save the South Street Seaport from redevelopment in addition to spearheading a host of other significant initiatives including the rezoning of midtown’s retail-friendly Fifth Avenue and the division of the city into over 60 individual community districts, the legacy of which is still in place today. 
Elliott was born to socially-minded parents in Manhattan in 1932 and later went on to study at Carleton College before obta... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Pursuing an architecture education is no easy feat, and with the events that took place in 2020 and 2021, there were plenty of obstacles that could dampen the goals of students around the world. Nevertheless, architecture schools learned as much as they could in 2020 to help students and faculty adapt and persevere. 
While 2021 proved to be another year filled with challenges for the architecture industry, architectural academia also experienced its fair share of events. From the announcement of architecture deans leaving to new academic leaders emerging, we must not forget the students and architecture fellows who continued to work hard and keep going. 
This year, remote learning, virtual studio crits, and graduations were also met with some in-person learning through hybrid teaching approaches. However, despite the continued obstacles, undergraduate, graduate, and Ph.D. students across the globe continued to learn, explore, and propel the future of architecture and design forward.... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ 2021 was unfortunately a record year in terms of the death notices and obituaries of many who contributed to our profession in ways both large and small. 
Though our pages were filled with heartfelt tributes to the many who were taken from us in fields that included academia (like Thomas Gordon Smith, Lance Hosey, and Donald P. Ryder) and urban planning (Alexander Garvin and Niall McCullough) as well as a multitude whose contributions to modernism (Bernard Judge, James L. Nagle, and Hugh Newell Jacobson) and other forms of architecture (Alan Lapidus) will be tragically missed, and still more whose work in preservation (Charles Cassell), conceptual art (Lawrence Weiner), architecture journalism (Kristen Richards), and philanthropy (Eli Broad and Richard Driehaus) will be remembered with equal fondness.
Here below is a list of those we lost in the past year.

<description><![CDATA[ Sad news this holiday as Real Estate Weekly is reporting that industry icon Stephen B. Jacobs has passed away last week at the age of 82. 
Jacobs was a Holocaust survivor who went on to become one of New York’s most influential architects.
Born in Lodz in June of 1939, Jacobs was interned at Buchenwald and credited an underground resistance group with his survival. 
“I have fleeting memories,” Jacobs said of his experience. “I have memories that are not chronological, particularly the last few weeks because that was a very traumatic and dangerous time because they were trying to liquidate the camp.”
After being liberated, Jacobs moved with his family to Washington Heights in Manhattan, where he went on to study at the Art Students League of New York before eventually enrolling at the Pratt Institute, where he earned his Master’s degree in Architecture in 1965. 
Jacobs enjoyed an illustrious and multifaceted career which began in the offices of Whittlesey, Conklin and Rossant and was... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Rogers never designed any buildings in California. (The closest he came was the competition for the Transbay Transit Center in San Francisco, where his firm’s concept ultimately lost out to a proposal by César Pelli.) But California remained an influence and Los Angeles remained top of mind — though frequently as an example of what not to do.The colorful architect, who passed away last week at the age of 88, looked to the city’s expansive stock of mid-century modern showcase pieces to inform his own designs, including the Wimbledon House and later in his attempts at urban planning, referencing the city’s notorious sprawl repeatedly in his 1998 book Cities for a Small Planet.
“The Eames House is one of the prime exemplars that have shaped my mind,” he said in a 1989 interview of the Pacific Palisades Home built by the Eameses in 1949. “Its amazing simplicity and economy of style, that seems to have sprung fully fledged from Eames’ head, is a model of perfection in Modern design.”
Rogers was hooked after a trip he made with fellow Yale classmate Norman Foster in the late 1950s, according to the LA Times’ Carolina Miranda. 
&quot;We raced around California, seeing as many of the Case Study houses as possible,&quot; Rogers recalled in his 2017 memoir A Place for all People. &quot;I had written my thesis at Yale on Schindler, so I felt lik... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ What would the news be without controversy? You could say it’s way too much of a focus in the overall media landscape, and our small corner of the business certainly is not immune to its pull either. Coming out of the pandemic-dominated 2020 has provided us with quite a bit of contentious architectural items to report on. Here are the most controversial stories from our pages as we look back on the year that was.
Munger Hall led the way with a still-unraveling saga that might never have begun except for the moral probity of architect Dennis McFadden. His October 25th resignation letter, written to the UCSB Design Review Committee and republished by The Santa Barbara Independent’s Tyler Hayden (whom I think should win the Pulitzer), ignited a firestorm online, even causing the rare occurrence of having an architectural story to land in the national news outlets.

<description><![CDATA[ A new development in the 2019 accidental death of architect Erica Tishman as criminal charges have been filed against property owners 729 Acquisitions LLC.
NBC4 New York is reporting that the administrative code charges were brought by the NYC Department of Buildings. The architect’s family had previously pursued a civil case against the development company, which is managed by Himmel + Meringoff Partners, after claiming the architect’s death was essentially her own fault in an initial liability suit brought against the city.
&quot;It is alleged that even though the defendants had been made aware of the deteriorating façade conditions that posed an immediate danger to the public, they failed to make necessary repairs and failed to install a sidewalk shed in front of the building to protect pedestrians from the unsafe façade conditions,&quot; NBC is reporting the DOB to have said.

<description><![CDATA[ Following a very turbulent 2020, the current year was filled with highs and lows as well. From the pandemic to socio-economical unrest, the architecture industry continued to navigate a year filled with learning and unlearning. 
The rise of social justice and equity initiatives pushed on in 2021. As architecture firms, schools, and organizations proceeded to grapple with their involvement in and relationship to systemic racism and inequity, groups and individuals took it upon themselves to continue with their work towards detangling architecture from its history of oppression and injustice.
Architecture media became more than a medium for praising new projects and applauding the so-called &quot;starchitects&quot; of our time. It has become a medium to discuss social and cultural topics relating to race, diversity, and inclusion. As a platform, Archinect continues to report on the issues that impact our community and expand on social and cultural discourse relating to architecture. With the nu... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Months of isolation made people rethink the way they wanted to live. That meant their buildings would change. That meant construction, and architects became useful again, after being abandoned. But the craziness of a new era has made all builders and architects simultaneously empowered by their new in-demand status while fully threatened by costs and availability of all the products and people necessary to build.Earlier in the year, labor and supply chain issues had caused markets in steel and timber to skyrocket, delaying many commercial and residential projects industry-wide, in addition to triggering what some think will be a boom in demand once the pandemic subsides.
However bright the prospects are for some people, architect Duo Dickinson sees recent gains as part of a cycle which has become “insane and dangerous.”
Related Duo Dickinson feature article on Archinect: Everything Is Changing: But Not Architecture’s “Deep State”“If the past is prologue, this boom shall soon bust,” he wrote. “The anecdotes of recent months are great in the construction world, but the articles and studies have not kept up with a chaotic time. In my little corner of this world, the last season has seen four of my clients dip their toes into building and use my firm to scope out the time and money involved, and when inflated numbers and indeterminable schedules were revealed, they simply opted out, even though... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Members of the architecture and urban planning communities are mourning the loss of Yale professor and influential New York city planner Alexander Garvin following the announcement of his death in Manhattan at the age of 80.
A notoriously pedantic native New Yorker, Garvin earned both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Yale and served in the city government under mayors Lindsay, Beame, Koch, Giuliani, and Bloomberg after working as an architect in the offices of Phillip Johnson for a brief period of time. 
Garvin was behind some of the biggest urban planning projects in recent American memory. His noteworthy contributions to the county’s largest cities included the post-9/11 master plan for the World Trade Center site in Manhattan and the BeltLine development in Atlanta.

<description><![CDATA[ Heavyweight, humanist, intellectual hero, and pioneer of the high-tech style. Such are the remembrances of a beloved architectural icon seen in the outpouring of tributes circulating on social media following the death of Richard Rogers in London over the weekend. 
Reminiscent of the Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar, Rogers was a genius in the application of color theory to his creative work. His breakthrough Pompidou Center is considered a landmark in part for its incorporation of symbolic color coding as signifiers of the building’s mechanical services and can trace its inspiration to early projects such as the unbuilt Zip-Up House and family home in Wimbledon.
A model of the Zip-Up house courtesy of Loz Pycock via Flickr.Born in Florence and educated at the Architectural Association and Yale, Rogers was known for his attire as well as his architecture, affecting a style that was noted by almost every architecture student, designer, and member of the press that he interacted with... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The global architecture community is mourning the loss of another titan after the New York Times reported the architect’s death from Parkinson’s disease at his home in Barcelona on November 30th at the age of 95.
Bohigas was influential in the modernist movement in Spain and became a prominent figure in the development of his hometown and its transformative turn hosting the Olympic Games in 1992. 
Casa dels Xuklis by MBM Arquitectes (Josep Martorell, Oriol Bohigas, David Mackay, Oriol Capdevila and Francesc Gual)Born in Barcelona in 1925, Bohigas came up under the post-Civil War Francoist era and fought his entire life to forge a place for modern architecture in his native Catalonia. He lectured at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Barcelona (ETSA) from 1964 until 1980 and participated in several leading progressive movements of the time, including the gauche divine. 
After leaving the ETSA in 1980, Bohigas entered a successful career in politics and urban planning. Af... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ One of the flashiest openings in the art world this fall came not in the form of a suite of salable oil paintings or an of-the-moment sculptural showcase but rather from a one-time dry goods storage space which has been converted into the new home of New York’s Company Gallery by an upstart duo called BoND.
The duo is formed by Noam Dvir and Daniel Rauchwerger, partners in business and in life, who say their design was inspired by several different elements of the history of the city’s Queer arts community for whom Company was founded seven years ago.
Images courtesy BoNDThe gallery’s roster features a veritable who’s who of hot young artists like Jonathan Lyndon Chase and Raúl de Nieves and was looking for a space to help inaugurate “a jump to a different chapter” with the help of some highly skilled hands from inside that same community.

<description><![CDATA[ Located in South Slope, Brooklyn, House Offset is a residential remodel that underwent a recent renovation with a focus on enhancing both interior and exterior architectural details as well as &quot;preserving much of the exterior as a nod to adjacent residences and the traditional New York City townhouse typology.&quot; Beyond this, what makes the project stand out, however, is the designer responsible for the renovation is also its developer. 
Abigail Coover, founder and principal of Overlay Office, started her practice in 2019. With over 18 years of experience as an architectural designer and project manager, she has helped lead projects in major cities such as New York and San Francisco. We connected with Coover to learn more about the project and her experience as both designer and developer.

<description><![CDATA[ More architects are speaking out in the controversy surrounding the planned Munger Hall development at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
The Santa Barbara Independent is reporting that eight architects representing several different UC campuses sent administrators a letter dated November 17 which detailed their opposition to the unanimously approved multibillion-dollar dormitory building.
“We ask that you take a step back and embrace the values of a humane environment, one that fosters health, safety, and welfare, instead of one that may forever harm generations of young students,” a portion of the group letter read, according to the Independent. “A failed investment of this size is bound to ripple throughout the University system.”

<description><![CDATA[ One of the biggest desires right now is for flexibility. How can you create spaces that can be repurposed for multifunctional spaces, so you can have a big dinner with a catering kitchen, then close the doors and make it a yoga room? It’s key now to think flexibly about the use of space, then think about flexibility over time, meaning how spaces might evolve.Rafael Pelli, the son of influential high-rise designer César Pelli, recently talked to Mansion Global about some of the design challenges and new mandates that have taken over the industry in the time following his father’s death in July of 2019. 
“Urban cores will go back to being largely what they were,” the architect said. “The very factors that led to their existence and growth remain — it’s that need to communicate, together. At root of that is a basic belief that a lot of really useful things happen outside of a formal meeting [...] That’s not replaced by technology.”
Related on Archinect: In Praise of César Pelli&#039;s Quirky CornersPelli also commented on the firm’s recent name change, which he says was meant to shift the narrative away from the damaging Great Man archetype of designers as embodied in Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead.
“The most important change was to recognize there’s a core group of people who’ve been working at the firm almost since the beginning. There’s a tende... ]]></description>

<title>Hani Rashid is out as the Hermitage Museum&amp;apos;s Moscow expansion architect as the development changes gears abruptly</title>

<description><![CDATA[ A row is developing in Russia after renowned designer Hani Rashid was rather abrasively let go from a contemporary expansion of the State Hermitage Museum in Moscow. 
The Art Newspaper is reporting that the 63-year-old architect was “unceremoniously” dropped from the museum’s satellite project after not hearing from the city or developers LSR Group in over a year. 
“We received all of the necessary approvals for this project, but we stopped hearing news from Moscow about a year ago, just when we were ready to pour the concrete,” Rashid told TAN’s Sophia Kishkovsky.
This marks the second time in four years that the architect has been removed from a cultural project in the Russian Federation. Rashid was previously involved in a Putin-backed scheme for a cultural center in Vladivostok that ultimately led to his resignation owing to an issue surrounding the financial house that was backing the development, which the U.S. government had sanctioned.

<description><![CDATA[ The acclaimed designer Virgil Abloh has passed away at the age of 41 after a two-year battle with cancer. The American designer and entrepreneur was originally trained as an architect, but his impact on the design world was felt throughout fashion, interior design, music, and product design.
Related on Archinect: Virgil Abloh&#039;s latest concrete collection reminds us how an architecture education can push creativityWhile a student of the Master in Architecture at the Illinois Institute of Technology, Abloh developed an interest in fashion having been partly inspired by a Rem Koolhaas building under construction at the campus. Following collaborations with Kanye West, Abloh founded the high-end streetwear brand Off-White in 2013.

<description><![CDATA[ Leading modernist Bernard Judge passed away in his Los Angeles home last week at the age of 90.
The LA Times’ Carolina Miranda has an excellent write-up on the man who once designed a home for Marlon Brando on an atoll in French Polynesia.
Judge was in many ways the living definition of a “champion of modernism,” pioneering the geodesic dome form exhibited in his Triponent House and working to restore Rudolph Schindler’s then-eponymous West Hollywood home after taking out a personal ad in the Times in the early 1970s. 
Judge was born in New York City to an artist mother and architecture professor father. He went on to study at USC at a time when the school was dominated by prominent residential designers like Gregory Ain and Conrad Bluff III.

<description><![CDATA[ When The Detroit Free Press wrote a profile of Mr. Johnson in 1963, he declared his commitment to modernism and his extreme distaste for ornamentation and pastiche — “dishonest copies of the past,” as he put it.

He particularly disliked colonial architecture. “We’re not living a colonial life, we’re not using colonial materials and we don’t even believe in colonialism,” he said. “Why should we design a colonial church?” ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Just in time for the holiday shopping season, a new list from therichest.com has ranked the world’s top ten architects in terms of their total net worth. 
Big A architecture remunerates extraordinarily well for some, with the total list’s net worth nearing three-quarters of a billion USD. 
Norman Foster took the top spot with an estimated net worth amounting to $250 million. The outspoken 86-year-old has had a windfall of big development contracts in the past few years, which has helped him maintain the position he has held for parts of the last two decades. 
Frank Gehry came in a distant second with around $100 million in total worth. Gehry was followed quickly by Moshe Safdie, who also hit the $100 mark, although it was not clear which methodology was used to delineate the two (some publicized estimates have Safdie’s worth significantly higher at around $150 million). Oculus designer Santiago Calatrava was the only other architect to hit the nine-figure plateau. His estimated net ... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ MASS Design Group will be honored alongside the city of Minneapolis by the University of Pennsylvania’s Weitzman School of Design in a public celebration held at the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy this evening. 
The Boston-based firm will receive the prestigious Kanter Tritsch Medal for its “design excellence and commitment to a climate-positive future.”
Likewise, Minneapolis is being honored with the Witte-Sakamoto Family Medal for its comprehensive 2040 resiliency plan that was developed with the help of Buro Happold. 
“MASS and Minneapolis remind us of the central role for design in overcoming seemingly intractable challenges like unequal access to jobs and housing, and mass incarceration,” Weitzman dean Frederick Steiner said in a statement. “Our professions have a lot of work to do to see that entire communities aren’t left out of the design process.”

<description><![CDATA[ Marina Tabassum has been named the 2021 recipient of the prestigious Soane Medal honoring her lifework and innovation in the field. The Marina Tabassum Architects founder is the fourth recipient of the medal joining Denise Scott Brown, Rafael Moneo, and Kenneth Frampton on a list of past winners.
Widely admired for her attempts to move away from for-profit architecture and towards a more just and humane application of the profession, Tabassum has been lauded as a trailblazer for female architects, as well as women of color, and was recently among several architects and urban planners named as Academy of American Academy of Arts and Letters Architecture Award winners.
Tabassum referred to past medal winners in a lecture delivered at Sir John Soane’s Museum in London on Tuesday.
“I am 52 years old. Unlike the giants who preceded me to this lectern, I consider myself a work in progress: the search is still on,” she began.

<description><![CDATA[ The sole example of Frank Lloyd Wright-famed Usonian style in the greater Houston area has been sold for $2.7 million to a pair of unnamed buyers.
The Houston Chronicle is reporting that Wright’s coveted William Thaxton House was able to lure a new owner at a reduced price. The home had been on the market for most of this year after being initially listed for $3.15 million. 
The now 8,000-square-foot home is one of only three houses in the state that Wright designed and has undergone several renovations and was given a heavily-publicized addition in 1991. Originally constructed in 1955 for a local insurance executive, Wright’s concrete block design features two fireplaces, an inground pool, and accessible courtyard with a plethora of steel-framed windows that give the home his signature inside-out harmony with the natural world.

<title>The debate around prison reuse swells as reform measures continue to decrease incarceration rates dramatically</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Some prisons have been successfully transformed into whiskey distilleries, youth hostels, museums and boutique hotels. Others have been demolished, sometimes over the objections of local preservationists. But there’s a third option: Carceral sites can be reoriented as places that actively work to undo the damage wrought by mass incarceration.The movement to design spaces that are actively working to undo some of the social harms caused by mass incarceration is still fairly nascent, with salient projects in Atlanta and other places serving as models that can be applied in the age of bail reform, alternative sentencing, and other measures that have reduced the overall prison population by up to 42% in certain states.
“Our view is that more architects should instead help those who are formerly incarcerated so they don’t go back to prison, and to support populations who are targeted and at high-risk for incarceration,” DJDS founder Deanna van Buren told Archinect’s Antonio Pacheco in a 2019 interview. The impetus should be shifted even further towards designing spaces that alleviate the sources of crime in the mold of DJDS. As Thoreau said: “There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root.”  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ In my opinion, many people consider architects less important today, while they demand engineers, landscape experts and environmentalists. It seems they no longer expect a comprehensive perspective and sensibility from architects. Architects should become advocates for architecture and fight for their role.With the completion of the Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism 2021, Perrault will now pivot his focus to the 2024 Olympic Village plan that will help revitalize Saint-Denis, long-held to be one of the most neglected communes in the French capital region. 
This year’s program focused on building resilience in cities as the specter of Covid loomed over the Biennale, causing disruptions in its traditional slate of in-person events. Perrault is currently finalizing plans for a new transit center in Seoul’s Gangnam district that will be completed in 2023. 
Previously on Archinect: 2021 Seoul Biennale to open with online event on September 16th“Going through the pandemic, it seems the proximity and heterogeneity of spaces have become important,” he said. “In order to keep up with the changing demand, new types of investment and a variety of projects are called for.” ]]></description>

In the architecture and engineering industry, firm leadership often find themselves making decisions based on instinct and fear that they don’t have enough work. But the end result is that you’re always at the mercy of the business. Everyone needs visibility into what’s happening to ensure you have control over your projects rather than them controlling you.
Fortunately, advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have enabled a more efficient and strategic approach to firm management. Here are six examples from AI-powered resource management software Mosaic.

<title>UCSB officials release Q&amp;amp;A addressing Munger Hall controversy</title>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/ucsb-officials-release-qa-addressing-munger-hall-controversy</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The swirling controversy over the University of California, Santa Barbara’s proposed plan to add billionaire real estate investor Charles Munger’s massive self-designed dormitory building to its exhausted stock of student housing has been addressed by the university in a campus-wide Q&amp;A published yesterday in which it answered “misconceptions” about the project’s design features and doubled down on its reasoning and necessity overall. 
Last week’s revelation that architect Dennis McFadden had resigned in early October after a university planning meeting resulted in a heated letter to the design review committee, making waves on our discussion board, and even landing UCSB in national news outlets in part over Munger’s deep connections with billionaire investor Warren Buffett. 
University officials failed to address McFadden’s indignation over its questionable contingent approval process but were able to issue a defense of sorts in the form of a self-prompted answer sheet that claimed... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ To coincide with the firm’s historic 80th anniversary, Eames Office is being celebrated with a retrospective currently taking place at the legendary ISETAN THE SPACE gallery in Tokyo’s Shinjuku ward.
The influential duo’s work and simple philosophy are seemingly more relevant than ever, and their contributions to the visual and material culture of the 20th century will be examined in a selling exhibition spanning the entirety of the firm’s eight-decade creative and commercial output.

<guid>https://archiecho.com/architect-turned-pinterest-co-founder-evan-sharp-is-leaving-for-jony-ives-new-design-studio</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Architect-turned-tech entrepreneur Evan Sharp is leaving the company he co-founded after 11 years to join former Apple design chief Jony Ive’s secretive new design startup called LoveFrom.
Sharp worked with Ben Silverman to develop what eventually became Pinterest in 2011 after studying at Columbia’s GSAPP, from which he graduated in 2008. 
Sharp spoke with Archinect about his education and continued inclinations toward architecture as part of our Working out of the Box series in 2012:
“I do miss a lot of things about architecture: materials, the third dimension, the human scale of the work,” he said at the time, adding that he felt studying at the GSAPP helped him “learn how to approach design problems generally.”
“The value of iteration, and working very long hours on the same problem to find the right solution — having that diligence is something that architecture school teaches you. It also forces you to look at everything spatially,” Sharp told Archinect&#039;s Paul Petrunia. “Archi... ]]></description>

<title>At COP26, Norman Foster speaks about the primacy of cities in the fight against climate change</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Norman Foster’s commentary on urbanism is in the news cycle once again after the architect made an appearance in Glasgow as part of this week’s United Nations COP26 climate summit. 
The comments roiled many in the social media universe, who pointed to Foster’s continued insistence on airport design and penchant for high-profile projects in oil economies that for many betray whatever claims the architect might make in regards to his own personal environmentalism. 
Foster was participating in a question-and-answer breakfast with U.S. climate envoy John Kerry for an audience of worldwide mayors moderated by Glasgow’s own city council leader Susan Aitken. 
Speaking with the former Secretary of State, Foster, who made waves recently after a terse appearance on Bloomberg Television in September in which the architect doubled down on his decision to withdraw from Architects Declare a scant 18 months after its founding, said that Covid has accelerated several already-ascendant trends such a... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The living memory of one of Tulsa, Oklahoma’s biggest drivers of the city’s noteworthy contributions to the visual landscape of 20th-century America is getting its due this weekend in an awesome way.
Goff Fest is about to descend on one of the city’s most important historic landmarks. The Tulsa Club Hotel will host the inaugural edition of a four-day festival honoring the life, work, and legacy of its architect, the late Bruce Goff. 
Goff was an architectural prodigy who went on to become one of the Midwest’s most prominent practitioners of Modernism. Most of his extant early buildings were realized in the Tulsa metropolitan area, including the Boston Avenue Methodist Church and Riverside Studio, which are both on the National Register of Historic Places.

<description><![CDATA[ Architecture is the art of facts. You do a building or you don’t, and if you do a building, do it right. We shouldn’t have a moralistic standpoint. But make things so that they work, they are sustainable and they are beautiful.The 71-year-old architect discussed the highly-anticipated M+ Museum which finally opens this month in Hong Kong&#039;s West Kowloon Cultural District. The Guardian also talked to Herzog about an upcoming library project for the state of Israel as well as his new headquarters for drugmaker AstraZeneca. 
“Architecture continues to be a great business because it’s all about life,” he told the Observer&#039;s architecture critic, Rowan Moore, saying that he spent the pandemic contemplating &quot;actually what I can do. I’m not so young any more. What do I want to do and how helpful can my business be in that endeavour? I’m pretty happy, but I’m also somehow scared of how vulnerable the world has become.”
The new museum opens on November 12th.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Luxury spa designer Therme Group is making a big splash as it looks to expand into the U.S. for the first time.
The megaspa makers are back with a new design that would add a “wellness theme park” to the city as part of a $350 development proposal. That effort will be overseen by former High Line developer Robert Hammond, who has officially joined Therme according to reporting yesterday in Crain’s and the New York Post.
Hammond noted the public’s demand for spaces that come in the form of “a park and a botanical garden and a gathering place and programming,” adding that, like the High Line, Therme “combines nature, community, well-being, and art together.” 
“As someone who understands firsthand the healing power of nature and the importance of mindfulness, I believe everyone needs a place where they can comfortably and affordably reconnect with themselves, nature, and the environment around them,” he added.
The group is actively searching for waterfront space in Manhattan and has ac... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ I would like to remove Hudson Yards. I don’t even know what I would replace it with. I just feel really angry because it’s a part of the city that turns its back to the city. It’s not even the buildings, or size of the buildings — which are humongous — that bother me. It’s that back-turning. I actually have refused to enter it, except when I was walking on the High Line […] it pretends to be a space for everybody when it is not.Tsien, who broke ground last month on the Obama Presidential Library in Chicago, recently began a four-year term as Chair of the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, which will afford her a direct line to government officials on a number of different topics involving the design community.
&quot;The biggest problem and opportunity facing the profession of architecture is diversity,&quot; she told Curbed when asked about the challenges facing the industry today. &quot;And one of the causes is expensive graduate school with not necessarily any payoff in the end. Leaving school $200,000 in debt, and the prospect of a job that might pay $65,000 a year, is daunting to anybody.&quot; ]]></description>

<title>Architect Alan Lapidus, son of Morris Lapidus, passes away at 85</title>

<description><![CDATA[ On October 15, architect Alan Lapidus passed away in his home in Naples, Maine after battling prostate cancer. His legacy is often connected with his architect father, Morris Lapidus, and being &quot;Donald Trump&#039;s architect.&quot; However, after working with his father for many years, he used those lessons and experiences he gained to establish a long architecture career designing hotels and casinos.
In a New York Times obituary written by Sam Roberts, he notes that even when Lapidus etched a name for himself while working at his father&#039;s firm, &quot;Mr. Lapidus did not try to outdo his father, whose motto was &#039;Too much is never enough.&#039; But he followed his advice, designing palatial lodgings and capacious gambling halls to create &#039;participatory theater,&#039; he wrote, in which guests could &#039;indulge and fulfill their fantasies.&#039;&quot;

<description><![CDATA[ The Greater London Authority is looking for architects to form a representative body in a new scheme formally announced by London Mayor Sadiq Khan on Monday.
The mayor’s Architecture + Urbanism Framework will debut next spring with a fifty-member panel taken from the design community that will work within a four-year timeframe with a slate of the GLA’s public sector development partners who can commission projects directly from the panel. The panel is a follow-up to ADUP 2, the second phase of a program launched in 2012 in order to “make it quicker and easier for organisations like councils and housing associations to commission high-quality consultants for certain types of projects.” 
It is also a part of Khan’s fifty-member Good Growth by Design program launched in 2017 to investigate the coming challenge of population growth to the city. Though some commentators in the UK have been critical of his development pursuits overall, the two-term mayor has a stated interest in incorpora... ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Mecanoo founder Francine Houben has been honored with a prestigious ABB LEAF Lifetime Achievement Award during a ceremony at London’s stylish Nobu Hotel last Thursday.
The honor is in recognition of the architect’s tremendous cultural output, which has included recent projects at the New York Public Library and University of Cambridge, in addition to works such as and the Montevideo in Rotterdam (2005) and the Library of Birmingham (2013) that have set the firm apart with an innovative combination of different practice areas united by a philosophy of “People, Place, and Purpose.”
&quot;I am a specialist in things I haven&#039;t done before,&quot; Houben told Archinect in a 2017 interview. &quot;I always search for the balance between analysis and intuition.&quot;

<title>Elizabeth Diller is drawing personal lessons from her design for the Jewish Museum&amp;apos;s Edmund de Waal exhibition</title>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/elizabeth-diller-is-drawing-personal-lessons-from-her-design-for-the-jewish-museums-edmund-de-waal-exhibition</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The personal has never been a hallmark of Diller’s work in architecture and design. But working with de Waal’s emotionally charged travelogue, she said, had a transformational effect. “Seeing the world of his family through Edmund’s eyes,” she said, “I saw my family history also.” “Edmund dug into his past,” Diller added. “I didn’t. I couldn’t bear it.” Designing an exhibition based on de Waal’s book has changed that.Six rooms designed by Elizabeth Diller give viewers a glimpse into de Waal’s inner world informed by his relatives, the Ephrussis, who, like the architect’s own Polish family, was forced into exile during the Holocaust. Diller said she wanted the exhibition spaces to reflect the displacement felt by the storied art-collecting family and chronicled by de Waal in his fiction. The author referred to Diller as “the great dramaturge of space.” 
Diller had previously designed a 2016 exhibition at the museum which focused on the lifework of French architect Pierre Chareau.
The exhibition &quot;The Hare with Amber Eyes&quot; goes on view starting November 19th. More information can be found here. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ After five years as the Dean of Woodbury School of Architecture, architect and academic Ingalill Wahlroos-Ritter announced this Monday morning that she will leave her position. Wahlroos-Ritter&#039;s appointment as Dean began on June 1, 2017. Since then, she has acted as a force in elevating the program and carry on with its mission to prepare students for careers in architecture.

<guid>https://archiecho.com/prolific-landscape-architect-julie-bargmann-wins-inaugural-oberlander-prize</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Pioneering landscape architect Julie Bargmann has been announced as the inaugural winner of the newly-formed Cornelia Hahn Oberlander International Landscape Architecture Prize.
Known for her work in regenerative landscapes, the University of Virginia faculty member now has the honor of being named as the first-ever recipient of the Prize, which includes a $100,000 cash award.
The award celebrates landscape architects working at the intersection of design and social justice causes. Critic Paul Goldberger said it was about the “importance of the public realm” at a 2019 keynote address announcing the prize, adding that, in his view,  attempting to improve public building itself constitutes “a testament to belief in the social good.”

<guid>https://archiecho.com/former-riba-president-and-champion-of-brutalism-owen-luder-has-passed-away-at-93</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Sad news today as multiple outlets are reporting the death of Brutalist icon and former RIBA president Owen Luder in England at the age of 93.
Luder held a number of different titles throughout his six-decade career and was a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) at the time of his passing.
Born in South London in 1928, Luder studied at what was then called The Brixton School of Building (today a part of London South Bank University) before opening his own practice in 1957 and going on to create some of the most controversial buildings in the post-war UK. 
Characterized by his signature multi-use developments, Luder famously paired with Rodney Gordon on a number of theaters and multi-use projects that ultimately failed to withstand tests of time and wuthering public criticism.

<description><![CDATA[ Taking from the movement and fluidity found in his fish motif, Frank Gehry has now teamed up with one of France’s most storied fashion houses for the design of a new fragrance bottle that was unveiled today.
As part of Louis Vuitton’s new Les Extraits Collection, the 92-year-old architect transformed the iconic bottle into a sculptural form that embodies the fragrance’s evocation of travel designed and developed by master perfumer Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud.

<description><![CDATA[ A private residence designed by Frank Lloyd Wright has hit the auction block in St. Joseph, Michigan, joining a host of other Wright homes that have entered the real estate market in the past year alone.
Listed just shy of $2 million, the Harper House was last seen for sale 25 years ago and is believed to be the last home designed by the architect in the state of Michigan before his death in 1959.
Image via @propertiesWright built the L-shaped home for a local doctor in 1950. It was inhabited by the client until her death in a car accident just three years later and has since fallen into the care of one area couple that had previously restored the 3,150-square-foot residence.

<description><![CDATA[ Princeton and former School of Architecture Dean Alejandro Zaera-Polo are officially cutting ties as the 57-year-old has been formally dismissed from his faculty position following a unanimous vote by an Ad-Hoc committee of the university’s board of trustees this summer. 
Zaera-Polo served as Dean of Princeton&#039;s School of Architecture for a brief period from 2012 until 2014, when he resigned following allegations of plagiarism that eventually led to a defamation lawsuit brought by Zaera-Polo against the university, which then made an unsuccessful attempt to dismiss the four-part claim against itself and President Christopher Eisgruber.
Zaera-Polo had continued on as a faculty member despite the surrounding controversy.
In response to his dismissal, Zaera-Polo has issued a 5-hour “Gonzo-style” polemic against the university in which the AZPML founder touches on various topics including “Interpretation Trumps Evidence”, “Identity Politics”, and “The Post-truth University.” The Spanish... ]]></description>

<title>An artist is honoring Eileen Gray’s iconic E1027 villa with a new research&#45;intensive exhibition</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Situated on the French Riviera, about a 30-minute drive east of Nice, the graceful 1929 villa was originally designed by architect Eileen Gray as a retreat for her and her lover, critic Jean Badovici. Over the course of its nearly century-long life, it has borne witness to one naked starchitect vandal, one world war, various drug-fueled orgies and a murder.The original 1929 villa reopened in August after a five-year-long restoration effort led by the French Association Cap Moderne. The house was the site of a 1996 murder in addition to several other sordid affairs and outré episodes that have helped create a rather useful mythology surrounding Gray’s modernist icon. Artist Kim Schoenstadt incorporated three year’s worth of research into the home and its architect, whom many now count as an unheralded icon of the International Style. 
“Gray wasn’t forgotten, but the way she was written about and the way her work was dismissed — that’s an important discussion to have with students,” curator Julie Joyce told the LA Times.

<description><![CDATA[ Two neighboring Gulf states are taking center stage at the newly opened Expo 2020 Dubai thanks to a pair of pavilions from Santiago Calatrava. 
The Spanish architect, who used to have an office in Doha, currently operates out of Dubai and said he was “thrilled” by the honor of being asked to design structures for the nations that he has come to view as a second home.
Qatar Pavilion © Palladium Photodesign - Oliver Schuh + Barbara BurgInspired by the crossed swords image embedded in the Qatari coat of arms, Calatrava’s curvilinear contribution uses the metaphor of a dhow to convey the movement and progress of a country eager to showcase its liberalized outlook to the world.

<description><![CDATA[ Berkeley CED dean Vishaan Chakrabarti has announced he will be leaving his post at the university to return to New York over pressing family medical concerns.
Chakrabarti ascended to the position in 2019 after a successful career in New York, where he quickly established his firm PAU as an industry leader in sustainable design. 
The 55-year-old left said he Berkeley with a “new foundation from which to build” and departs in the midst of a tenure in which CED underwent a tremendous amount of change and restructuring. 
A university statement cited Chakrabarti’s “enormous mark on the college over the past year, even in the midst of a global pandemic” and praised the architect for his leadership commitment to social justice issues.

Chakrabarti was able to raise over $17 million for the college during his tenure as Dean and leaves behind a legacy of innovation, collaboration, and thoughtful stewardship.

<description><![CDATA[ The top ten skyscrapers in the world have been announced as part of the annual Emporis Skyscraper Awards, with One Barangaroo in Sydney, Australia taking the top spot. 
This is the first time in the more than 20-year-long history of the awards that the prize has gone to an Australian building. The 890-foot-tall, 71-story skyscraper, designed by British firm WilkinsonEyre, is the tallest building in Sydney and fourth tallest in Australia. It offers expansive views of Sydney Harbor and the Opera House. 
As per the award announcement: “According to the jury, the extravagant design of One Barangaroo’s exterior façade was the deciding factor for the building coming in at first place. It is inspired by natural shapes and resembles three petals rising slightly twisted into the sky. The magnificent tower stands on a four-story high podium, the outer walls of which are decorated with a mantle of marble. In addition to a casino, apartments and restaurants, the building also houses a luxury si... ]]></description>

<title>The Architects&amp;apos; Journal highlights 14 architectural assistants working at the UK&amp;apos;s biggest practices</title>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/the-architects-journal-highlights-14-architectural-assistants-working-at-the-uks-biggest-practices</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ It takes a team of experienced and dedicated architects, designers, and project leads to keep a firm running. However, each firm&#039;s success also comes down to the unsung contributions of emerging talent whose efforts are often overlooked. This transitional role from a recent graduate to design professional continues to teeter between a slippery slope of &quot;exposure&quot; and &quot;working experience&quot; with unfair work practices. AJ&#039;s latest initiative, AJ100 New Talent, however, aims to &quot;champion those who may not always be given the credit they deserve.&quot; 
Celebrating this year&#039;s design cohort is a step towards re-writing the narrative for architectural assistants who were once thought of as voiceless and underrepresented. The AJ adds that this celebration of talent &quot;chimes with [their] focus on the struggles facing those entering the profession and the need for change. Practices have a big responsibility to nurture these rising stars, who are the future of the profession.&quot;

<title>Kanye West&amp;apos;s favorite architect is drawing some seriously high praise</title>

<guid>https://archiecho.com/kanye-wests-favorite-architect-is-drawing-some-seriously-high-praise</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ “For most of us, architecture is a profession of compromise [...] We are service people, turned on and off by the client, not so terribly different from window washers. But Valerio is different. He believes in the physical substance of architecture, not the impression — that something should not just look interesting but be interesting. That makes him incredibly important to our field.”The ever-famous Valerio Olgiati is also a favorite of Kanye West, whose splashy architectural tastes have made headlines of late, and for whom the Swiss architect is said to be designing an underground Wyoming home, among other projects. The 44-year-old rapper even reached out to him for input on his recent album Donda.
“He says I am Picasso, and his job is to buy land so that I can create,” Olgiati told the NYT Style Magazine. “I have never had anyone who appreciates so much what I do.”
Olgiati previously served as the Kenzo Tange Chair at the Harvard GSD. T Magazine has a lengthy profile of the prolific architect here. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The Lovell Health House, as the behemoth on Dundee Drive came to be known, remains a dumbfounding sight. It occupies a steep slope at the edge of Griffith Park, plunging three stories from street level. [...] It is a monumental yet unreal creation—a silver-white vessel that seems to have docked at the top of a canyon.Neutra&#039;s 1929 home has and was featured in the classic 1997 film LA Confidential. Wirth&#039;s eponymous gallery first established a presence in Downtown Los Angeles in 2016 and is set to expand to a second site soon with some help from Selldorf Architects, who has designed seven of the gallery’s sixteen spaces worldwide thus far.
The 4616 Dundee Drive property in Los Feliz has been on the market for over a year at a listing price north of $9.75 million. Its current owner inherited the architectural gem from his parents, who purchased it for $60,000 in 1960. The New Yorker has more on the unmistakable beauty behind Neutra’s biorealist masterpiece here.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Less than a month after the release of his long-awaited album, “Donda,” Kanye West paid $57 million for a Tadao Ando-designed Malibu beach house, which first listed in May 2020.West purchased the 4,000-square-foot concrete home in an off-market deal with retired Wall Street financier Richard Sachs. It was initially listed at $75 million in May 2020 before being removed from the market.
The former owner commissioned the home, and it was completed in 2013. It has four bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and is directly on the beach. According to Dirt, the structure reportedly required 1,200 tons of poured concrete, 200 tons of steel reinforcement, and 12 pylons driven 60 feet into the ground to support the heavy home from sinking into the sand.
Tadao Ando is reportedly one of West’s favorite architects, who described a visit to the art island of Naoshima, Japan, where Ando contributed several building designs, as “life-changing.”Marmol Radziner was the executive architect on this project. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Daniel Libeskind will have the memory of an entire lost city on his mind at Sunday’s official unveiling ceremony of the National Holocaust Memorial of Names in Amsterdam.
“I grew up in Poland in Lodz, a city that had hundreds of thousands of Jews. There was nobody Jewish left. It taught that you should never give in to authoritarianism. You should never bow your head to fear,” the 74-year-old architect said in a recent interview about his forthcoming memorial for the victims of the Tree of Life Synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh in 2018.

<description><![CDATA[ Kengo Kuma champions an ideal of “losing architecture”—intricate buildings that disappear into their environs—although it’s hard to miss the new National Stadium … His stylistic fingerprints can be seen throughout the elaborate project … Greenery dots the facade of the oval-shaped structure, the centerpiece of this year’s Games, allowing a series of wooden eaves—a favored material for Kuma, procured from prefectures across Japan—to better blend in with the surrounding garden.Kengo Kuma’s design for the Japan National Stadium served as the centerpiece for this year’s Tokyo Olympic Games. Kuma also recently announced museum projects with literary tie-ins in Denmark and Norway and has been able to add sneaker collaborations and homeware to his portfolio successfully. 
The 67-year-old Yokohama native joins Jeanne Gang, David Adjaye, and Bjarke Ingels as architects to be named to the prestigious list in the past five years. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ An early Frank Lloyd Wright-designed house in Hinsdale appears to have gained a new lease on life, with the announcement on Tuesday that two preservation-minded buyers are purchasing the house and plan to restore it.The home was originally designed in 1894 for a marble importer named Frederick Bagley. Wright included a glass door design for the first time in his career. The home had been listed on the private market since July with an asking price of around $1.3 million.
The couple who purchased the home also owns Wright’s Tonkens House in Ohio, which they worked to restore. Efforts to stop the demolition of historic homes in the town of Hinsdale came up short recently. The Chicago Tribune has more on the house’s new lease on life here. ]]></description>

During their ceremony acceptance speech, Lacaton and Vassal stressed the importance of creating habitable spaces with a positive relationship to the climate and starting from a principle of retaining, rather than demolishing, existing structures. “In this respect, the heritage of modernity and experiments with free plan, spatial generosity, transparency and light for all, offer many valuable lessons,” they said.

<description><![CDATA[ Artist, educator, and urban planner Theaster Gates has been awarded the Frederick Kiesler Prize for Architecture and the Arts by the Austrian Frederick and Lillian Kiesler Private Foundation. 
The 55,000 Euro ($65,000 USD) prize, awarded every two years by the Republic of Austria and the City of Vienna, recognizes outstanding achievement in architecture and the arts that relate to artist, designer, set designer, and architect Frederick Kiesler’s experimental and innovative approach to the arts. 
“Spatial platforms that highlight the contributions of Black artists and designers have been long overlooked,” says Theaster Gates. “Projects that consider people as much as they consider the implications of the built form deserve merit.

<description><![CDATA[ Not only is historic preservation critical in maintaining the integrity of our urban fabric, it also offers one of the most effective means of reducing the carbon footprint of the architecture industry. To learn more about the importance and role of preservation architects, Archinect connected with architect and preservationist Angel Ayón of AYON Studio. 
As new projects continue to be built, cities around the globe are filled with landmark buildings and historical structures that add to the area&#039;s rich architectural history. However, thanks to preservationists, these structures are presented with new possibilities such as adaptive reuse and historic preservation building techniques. This week our team highlights the importance of historic preservation and an open job opportunity for a preservation architect from AYON Studio.
