My name is Jessica O’Donnell, AIA and I am honored to be the 2017-2018 Young Architect Regional Director (YARD) of AIA New Jersey. This national position with the Young Architect’s Forum (YAF) gives me the opportunity to work with my counterparts from other AIA regions throughout the country to provide targeted member benefits for recently licensed architects. It is a common misnomer that the ‘young’ in Young Architect’s Forum refers to age; it actually refers to architects licensed ten years or less.

There are two types of product manufacturers: One replicates an existing service or technology and attempts to make improvements that will stand out from the competition. The second innovates a groundbreaking service or technology, setting a new standard for future competitors to model.
Throughout its 60-year history, Société Française d’Assainissement (Group SFA) has always been, and continues to be, an innovator.

Stacey Ruhle Kliesch, AIA writes:
I was recently out to lunch with a colleague. There was a TV running in the background and during a lull in the conversation, I could hear an advertisement for a program showing later on a cable network. My jaw dropped, and my eyes bulged at the degrading vulgarity that I overheard coming from the television. My companion said, “Why so shocked? I hear way worse when I go to a meeting at my engineer’s office.”

For new mothers returning to their jobs, breastfeeding is a loaded topic. If they decide to do it, they must also figure out the logistics to make it work — while they work. Women comprise nearly half of the U.S. labor workforce and, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2016 Breastfeeding Report Card, more than 80 percent of mothers attempt to nurse their newborns.

Tiny houses have become popular in recent years as housing prices continue to soar. Whether as an off-the-grid retreat or a way to live more simply and economically, tiny homes offer a more flexible way to live. They are even being used by charity organizations such as the Tiny Homes Foundation in Australia as a way to tackle the issue of homelessness in cities and the need for social housing. As the popularity and need for tiny homes become ever more prevalent, knowing the necessary skills to design a tiny house for yourself or a client is a useful skill to have.

The recent sexual harassment allegations against architect Richard Meier, FAIA, have made it impossible for industry professionals to continue skirting around the issue of harassment within the architecture profession. After news broke of these disturbing claims, Carl Elefante, FAIA, 2018 President of the American Institute of Architects responded by saying, "We are deeply troubled by these allegations, and believe that sexual harassment — in any form and in any workplace — should not be tolerated and must be addressed swiftly and forcefully."

Why do we build? How do we build? Who do we ultimately build for? These have been questions that have dominated the worlds of both practice and pedagogy since the early ages of architecture. On a basic level, those questions can be answered almost reflexively, with a formulaic response. But is it time to look beyond just the simple why, how and who?

 While cities used to be planned at the stroke of an architect's pen, a new era of "participative planning" is giving more power over decisions to ordinary people. But is the role of power missing from this conversation? In my last article, I wrote about the role of the architect in the power relations that shape cities. But here I will write about the role of the city planner — that means looking at not just the form the buildings take, but also how we arrange those buildings in space.

The role of the architect — and even architecture itself — in society today is changing. A lack of interest in critical social issues from a profession that holds such high responsibility within a community is a problem that should no longer be avoided.
In an exhibit currently on show at the Center for Architecture and Design in Seattle titled "In the Public Interest," Garrett Nelli Assoc. AIA challenges the profession of architecture to establish a focus on more community-engaged design.

Homes may be the most powerful projection of architectural value. Because shelter is essential for all of us, the home is architecture’s universal function. We’re all experts on what our own home must be, to us.
But architects often have a different view of home.

Failed Architecture
It often seems like all aspects of architectural production, from its conceptualization and design, to its materialization and promotion, converge towards a building’s opening day. The day the ribbons are cut, the architects are praised and the champagne flows in abundance: the official birth of a building.

Often as architects we neglect how the buildings we design will develop once we hand them over to the elements. We spend so much time understanding how people will use the building that we may forget how it will be used and battered by the weather. It is an inevitable and uncertain process that raises the question of when is a building actually complete; when the final piece of furniture is moved in, when the final roof tile is placed or when it has spent years out in the open letting nature take its course?
