Cars clogged the streets of Borehamwood, England, an outlying suburb of London, for decades. But in the mid-1990s, the town added new pedestrian-only areas to its center.
The change transformed the town, according to Esther Kurland, the director of Urban Design London, a nonprofit that connects urban designers and planners in the city.

In the winter of 2014, homeowners in North Carolina reported an upsetting problem: their furnaces were shutting off in the middle of the night on the coldest night of the year. The reason? Condensate drains on the high-efficiency condensing units were freezing where the drain pipes terminated outside the house. With the pipes blocked, the condensate backed up into the furnaces, where safety switches shut the units down.

Lloyd Rosenberg, AIA, president and CEO of Hasbrouck Heights-based DMR Architects has been through several economic cycles, including three recessions, since he started his company in 1991.
Fueled by the recent strength of the construction industry, DMR is celebrating its 25th anniversary with its largest headcount and is recording its highest revenue.
While not immune to economic cycles, the firm has used downturns as strategic thresholds in which it increases market share and adapt to new trends, often diversifying into new practice areas and adding key talent in recessions.

A waterfall flows in downtown Portland, Ore., ribbons and rivulets of water cascading over slabs of rough, reddish concrete into pools filled with wading children in the summer. Down a tree-lined path, great planted hills pop from the sidewalk. A stepped basin opens up between buildings, looking like a natural spring bursting through the pavement. These bold environments, strung across an eight-block section in the city center, were designed by the modernist landscape architect Lawrence Halprin and his firm between 1965 and 1970, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.

Like paintings and sculptures, buildings can be beautiful works of art.
We asked architects to tell us the one building that's a game-changer for building design, inspired them to become architects, or that they simply find stunning.

We've all heard of the campaign to "green" our buildings, legitimized in part by certification systems like LEED and the Living Building Challenge. But increasingly there's a movement for designers to improve the wellbeing, not only of the environment, but of ourselves along with it. Drawing upon the WELL Building Standard guidelines, here are four key areas in building design that greatly impact the health, wellness and productivity of human beings.

 Research demonstrating the many ways that office design affects employees' well-being and performance continues to mount up. Perhaps no other single factor has garnered as much attention lately as sound. The proliferation of minimalist open-space layouts, increased workstation density and a preference for collaborative workspaces have made managing workplace acoustics — and in particular, noise — a critical human resource issue.

Few things affect how you feel more than your surroundings. But when people want to create spaces, they generally turn to architects, not psychologists. But some experts recently met in Austin to argue that both disciplines need a place at the table when it comes to designing the spaces we inhabit.
To understand why, consider the office cubicle, says Prof. Sam Gosling from UT's Psychology Department.
With the cubicle "they have designed essentially caves, except you have your back to the door and your facing inwards," he said.

The Open Architecture Collaborative (OAC) — formerly Architecture for Humanity — began anew in March 2016 as a rebranded and revamped group dedicated to advocating for the many facets of public interest design across the country and around the world.
