One issue we as AIA leadership hear often is that the public doesn’t understand what architects do and the value they bring to a project. The AIA has been working hard the past several years to address this concern. Last year, AIA-NJ held its first ever Mayors Symposium which brought together mayors and other township officials with architects and planners to show them how we can help to solve their most pressing issues.

 Businesses need technology to be profitable and productive. But not all technologies are capable of delivering on their perceived benefits. To make sure your investments are worth keeping, you need to perform technology business reviews.
A technology business review reveals the strengths and weaknesses of your company’s IT framework. It’s often performed by a third-party IT consultant who will give an objective assessment of your technology and provide recommendations to help you meet your goals.

Central to an architect’s core values is the belief that the built environment should adapt to people rather than people having to adapt to their physical environment.

The panel included Karen Braitmayer, FAIA, Chris Downey, AIA, and Greg Burke, AIA, professionals with varied disabilities sharing their personal stories, challenges and triumphs.

The beauty is … Architecture responds dutifully.
Over the last year I have transitioned from two completely different design disciplines: K-12 to Pharmaceutical. This is what I always loved about practicing architecture- the Architect is constantly challenged and learning new approaches. This also lends the opportunity to express new ideas and concepts to potential clients and eager, wide-eyed interns.

Los Angeles’s architectural landscape, much like its population, is a vibrant blend of different colors, shapes and influences. The diversity of styles — from Googie to Spanish Colonial Revival — reflects the myriad cultures and languages that punctuate the city’s streets. But the people of color who developed the city have largely been left out of its urbanist history.

Lucy the Elephant, a 65-foot-tall wood-and-metal pachyderm on the Jersey Shore, has served many purposes over the past 138 years: Real estate office, tavern, private beach cottage, and standalone tourist attraction. Lucy has also lived through a lot — hurricanes, flooding, lighting strikes, encroaching development, two relocations, general neglect, “moisture difficulties,” and even an inadvertent fire started by the patrons of said tavern.

By 2025, Frost and Sullivan, a market research company, has predicted that there will be at least 26 fully-fledged major smart cities around the world. While some still think that as our cities get more intelligent, they will resemble sci-fi futuristic movies, the reality is that the quality of life in these cities will drastically improve. Cities are set to become more efficient with better services. Nevertheless, before reaching these ideals, let us go back on the process itself, and evaluate the challenges that we might face.

Hundred-year floods. Record-breaking Antarctic heat. Wildfires and drought. The stories appear with numbing regularity. And though the details differ, they all point to the same grim conclusion. We’re failing to address climate change. With carbon emissions continuing to rise, what were once dismissed as worst-case scenarios now look like the best we can hope for.

Mass timber has been hailed as the solution to architecture’s notorious sustainability problem — that buildings account for nearly 40% of global energy use is by now a worn and overcited fact. But timber isn’t the world’s only renewable material, and architects and engineers have begun looking elsewhere for other possible steel and concrete replacements. One such possibility that has recently come to light is engineered or laminated bamboo, a highly sustainable and structurally impressive material.

With thousands of scientists declaring the planet in a climate emergency last year, helping the environment has never been more relevant. One group at the forefront of reducing its industry’s environmental footprint is the U.S. Green Building Council, which this year marks 20 years since publicly introducing its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design building standards.

Door handles are a ubiquitous part of daily life, being used constantly in almost every space but rarely given thought by the passing user. Nevertheless, the chosen material of each handle can vary widely in terms of aesthetics, durability, and sustainability, with good choices going noticeably right and poor choices going noticeably wrong. For objects that are seen and used multiple times every day without fail, it’s imperative that designers get the choice right.

The Tucson Mountain House, in Arizona, is tucked into a secluded desert hillside. The minimalist home has a butterfly roof and large floor-to-ceiling windows, yet it blends in with the terra cotta–colored landscape surrounding it. If you pass by and don’t look closely, you might not even see it. Why? Its architect, Rick Joy, constructed it partly out of earth, a building technique that dates back 8,000 years.

In the U.S., architecture firms composed of fewer than 20 people make up 92% of all firms — a percentage virtually unchanged since the 1970s — though in total they represent only 44% of all architectural workers. Firms of 1- to-9 people make up 76% of the total number of U.S. architecture firms while capturing a mere 14% of total billings. If you are one of these small firms, you probably bemoan those tasks that transcend your basic competence and your engaged sensibilities.

In recent years, much attention has been given to timber constructions. Being a sustainable and renewable material, which captures a huge amount of carbon during its growth, the innovations related to this material have allowed for increasingly higher constructions. However, when we talk about wood we approach an immense variety of species, with different strengths, nuances, potentials, limitations and recommended uses.
