With a new administration in place, new leadership at the Environmental Protection Agency will be reevaluating the agency's priorities. They believe that EPA activity is limiting economic growth and job creation — but designers know that isn't the case. That’s why it is crucial that architects make a business case for retaining EPA programs that enable them to design healthy, energy-saving buildings.

As Black History Month comes to a close, AIA New Jersey would like to share the message below with our members and followers. This message is from the At-Large Director of the AIA National Board of Directors. It has been, and continues to be, a goal of our organization to support and encourage new architect members from all underrepresented demographics. While the path to licensure is difficult for anyone, clearly Mr. King has overcome unique challenges in his life in order to stand with us as he does today, as a member, as a leader, and as a Fellow in the American Institute of Architects.

A presentation from nARCHITECTS on Carmel Place, the winning design for former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s 2013 adAPT NYC competition. Carmel Place opened last year and set new standards as a prototype for micro living. The competition tasked firms with responding to the city's growing small-household population as part of the Bloomberg administration’s New Housing Marketplace Plan, which aimed to bring new options to the city's housing market.

A Texas-based high-rise developer, Hines Interests, has unveiled its plans for an all-wood mid-rise office building in Chicago on the site of a former lumberyard, according to Crain's Chicago Business.
The proposed building is expected to be similar to another Hines Interests project, the seven-story, all-wood T3 office building in Minneapolis — currently the largest contemporary wood building in the U.S.

Architect Lloyd Rosenberg was undaunted when plans for a nearly $1 billion commercial development in Ridgefield Park had to be dramatically reconfigured to accommodate Al and Alice, a pair of bald eagles.
"We had to redesign the whole project," said Rosenberg, president and chief executive officer of DMR Architects in Hasbrouck Heights. "It's just part of what we have to do ... It's not unusual."

The monthly Architecture Billings Index (ABI) came in at a score of 49.5 in January, down 6.1 points from December's 55.6, the American Institute of Architects announced.
The ABI is a leading economic indicator of construction activity in the U.S., and reflects a nine- to 12-month lead time between architecture billings and construction spending nationally, and regionally, as well as by project type. A score above 50 represents an increase in billings from the previous month, while a score below 50, as seen in January, represents a contraction.

Columbia architecture professor Mark Wasiuta and his academic partner Marcos Sanchez were working on a research project recently when they made an unusual discovery: thousands of 35mm color slides that documented the environmental history of L.A. in the 1970s.
Created by a loose collective of architects, photographers, and artists called Environmental Communications, these slides documented L.A.'s physical and social landscape: geodesic domes, vans converted into houses, people waiting for the bus, labyrinthine highways, shoppers perusing record stores, peep-show storefronts, inflatable architecture, women sitting in salons, and more.

"One need only take a casual look at this audience to see that we have a long way to go in this field of integration of the architects."
That's how civil rights activist Whitney M. Young, Jr., then the executive director of the National Urban League, opened his impassioned remarks to a convention of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) in 1968. Young's speech has become a touchstone in a profession that, nearly 50 years later, still struggles to increase the racial diversity in its ranks.

 Data has been described as the "new oil" powering our economies. It is also increasingly powering our cities. A handful of U.S. cities are starting to reap the dividends of using Big Data to help their cities flourish, replacing filing cabinets with complex data infrastructure. In the third article in this "urban challenges" series, let's look at some of the early pioneers and how we can expect data to influence the future of cities.

Technologies, from computation to automation, have certainly and radically altered architecture. So have the economic transformations that accompanied their emergence as well as the concurrent financial crisis. But, in the era of mass disruptions, technological and otherwise, architecture has remained, in at least one way, largely unscathed. That is to say, the firm structure (for better and worse) persists while other industries have succumbed to an “on-demand economy” marked by flexible hours, scant job protection and little-to-no employee benefits. Is that about to change?
