As architects we are called on to provide design solutions to social and economic issues that exist in our communities. These issues mandate that we are able to understand and reflect the views of the people we represent. To that end, diversity is vital to architecture, its relevance and the solutions it provides our diverse communities.

Mechanical components are beautifully concealed. Finally, a system that is truly alluring.

On March 25, 1911, mere minutes before closing time, a fire broke out in a garment factory, just off of Washington Square.
While the building was equipped with two fire escapes, one only opened inward and the other was locked from the outside to prevent theft.

A Revolutionary War-era house in Bellmawr is gone forever, and an early 19th-century ironstone barn in Cinnaminson soon will be a memory as well.
But the March 3 demolition of the Hugg-Harrison-Glover house on West Browning Road and the impending destruction of the Hunter Barn on Route 130 at Taylors Lane have highlighted the surprising vulnerability of many vintage buildings in South Jersey.

What makes a great design firm?
This is the question AIA research intern Sandra Montalbo, Assoc. AIA, and I set out to answer in our report, just published by the AIA Committee on the Environment (COTE), on whose Advisory Group I serve. "The Habits of High-Performance Firms" follows up on last year's "Lessons from the Leading Edge," which I authored as a comprehensive study of two decades of AIA COTE Top Ten Award winners. Launched in 1997, the annual awards are the profession's longest-running and "best known recognition program for sustainable design excellence," according to the AIA.

Arthur Gensler started his architecture firm 52 years ago with no business plan—and no money. Counting the cash every Friday night, he initially paid himself $14,400 a year. Today the operation now known simply as Gensler is the largest architecture firm in the world, and it's best known for designing interiors—everything from the original Apple Stores to headquarters for Facebook and Airbnb. Its current projects include the Shanghai Tower, the Abu Dhabi Financial Centre, the San Francisco International Airport, and more. The firm’s revenue last year was $1.3 billion, and the founder, now 81, is happy to just be an adviser.

With the inundation of photo-realistic representations of architecture, it seems that far too often we lose focus on what is important in design and what needs to be conveyed at the early phases of a project. “These high-fidelity images lend credibility to a project vision, but draw more attention to surfaces and details when the argument should be forming around space, place and use,” said Joey Swerdlin, Morpholio community director. It would not surprise many in our field that when asked, several architects admitted spending more time representing their work than actually designing it.

 Nearly every major indicator of housing market performance trended upward in February, capping one of the best beginning-of-the-year starts since the Great Recession. As we near the end of the first quarter, the question looming over the industry is whether this trend is a harbinger of better things to come as we approach the spring sales season or a temporary bounce due to early economic expectations for President Donald Trump's new administration.

It is a well-known, if unfortunate, fact of urban life that municipal buildings often fail to live up to the high-minded ideals of their resident institutions. Though they may be dedicated to the practice of justice, education, sanitation, and public safety, many speak less to civic virtue than to budget constraints and bureaucratic compromise.
Over the last few years, however, a number of top architects have taken on modest municipal projects in New York, lending their considerable talents to everything from police and fire stations to neighborhood libraries, sanitation garages, and recycling plants.

American architects have masterminded dozens of suburban housing styles. Wright created the Prairie homes, Cliff May had his ranch houses and developer Joseph Eichler introduced modern design to the middle class. And of course, there’s the McMansion.
But the one factor that’s exerted the most influence over how much of the country lives today is industrialization – and John Szot, a Brooklyn, New York-based architect, isn’t happy about it.
