Until the January 2013 issue of Architect, the architectural academy and profession paid little attention to the emerging millennial generation. Suddenly, the journal's writers predicted "drastic changes to pedagogy, licensure and firm management," all necessary to absorb the generation's impact on the field, but also to avert the disruptions affecting other professions and industries that millennial's have helped precipitate.

Collaborators for 55 years, Robert Venturi, FAIA, and Denise Scott Brown, Hon. FAIA, have long enhanced the popular appreciation of architecture, with their whimsical forms that play off historical precedents and their writing in support of everyday building types that might otherwise be disregarded. Venturi's 1966 book Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture, and Venturi and Scott Brown's 1972 book Learning from Las Vegas (with Steven Izenour) remain more than required reading for every architecture student.

We're conducting a survey to evaluate the impact of the Site Remediation Reform Act (SRRA) on brownfield remediation in the State of New Jersey. One of the goals of the reform is to increase the pace of remediation in the State in order to decrease its environmental impact — while also transforming underutilized properties into productive reuse.
But has the SRRA accomplished its goals? And, as important, how has the SSRA impacted industry and business practices?
To answer these questions, we're conducting a survey of the experts: Industry professionals whose responsibilities may have been impacted by this reform, and how industry practices have evolved in response. Initial findings from this survey will be presented at the annual meeting of the New Jersey Chapter of ASLA, with a full report made available to you in May 2016.
The survey consists of short, multiple-choice questions with optional areas for additional information and can take as little as 20 minutes to complete. Your input will be invaluable and greatly appreciated!
To participate in the survey, visit http://cues.rutgers.edu. Deadline for participation: Friday, Feb. 5, 2016.
Questions should be directed to me at kat195@scarletmail.rutgers.edu and (917) 538-4756 or to my graduate advisor, Dr. Ing- Wolfram Hoefer at (848) 932-9313 or whoefer@sebs.rutgers.edu.

In his State of the Union address, President Barack Obama discussed issues affecting the design industry: climate change, the economy, and student debt. Architects should take note as White House policy initiatives will no doubt impact the AEC community during Obama's final year in office.
The AIA issued a response to Obama's speech and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley's Republican rebuttal, highlighting ways that the federal government can support AEC this year.

Noted Mid-Century Modern architect Philip Collins attended Princeton University and rocketed to fame not long after graduating, when he won a competition to design the state of New Jersey's 1964 New York World's Fair pavilion. It seems fitting that the Princeton area is home to some of his most notable designs, including this breathtaking Mid-Century Modern home only a 15-minute ride from his alma mater and not far from his own majestic former home, also in Hopewell, New Jersey.

Temporary shelter is a bigger issue in today's world than ever before as we face extreme changing weather patterns, disasters and political instability. And there's no group better suited to providing creative solutions to such social issues than the architecture and design community. Sunbrella challenges you to apply its textile materials in new ways for habitable dwellings that assemble in a quick and efficient manner. Even a simple shade can go a long way toward empowering an individual — whether displaced by a natural or manmade disaster — with a sense of place and ownership of his or her immediate surroundings.

Urban Office Architecture has unveiled plans to build a concrete church in New Jersey featuring a "sky chapel," elevated walkways and a shallow pool. Proposed for Englewood in Bergen County, the 80,000-square-foot (7,400 square metres) Holy Spirit Church will be flanked by two concrete towers — one holding the church's bells and another containing the so-called "sky chapel."

The Chilean architect Alejandro Aravena has won the 2016 Pritzker Architecture Prize for work that "epitomizes the revival of a more socially engaged architect."
The award was announced by Tom Pritzker, chairman and president of the Chicago-based Hyatt Foundation, which sponsors the prize. Mr. Aravena, 48, is the first Pritzker laureate from Chile, and the fourth from Latin America.
In its citation, the jury noted that "few have risen to the demands of practicing architecture as an artful endeavor, as well as meeting today's social and economic challenges. Aravena ... has achieved both, and in doing so has meaningfully expanded the role of the architect."
