“Firms across the country are facing pressures from all sides — from transitioning offices to teleworking models, to work stoppages, to repositioning their businesses to adapt to changing client needs,” said AIA EVP/Chief Executive Officer Robert Ivy, FAIA.

A new report published by the American Institute of Architects indicates that architects who focus on residential projects are bracing for steep losses over the coming months as the COVID-19 economic shut down put in place to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus has dimmed what was projected to be a year of healthy growth.

New York–based Mapos was firming up a wave of new design commissions when the city became the epicenter of America’s coronavirus pandemic last month. That prospective work has since evaporated. A longer-standing hospitality client who came down with a mild case of COVID-19 has also slowed work on his restaurant, and another client, a private developer, plans to suspend a mixed-use project in Long Island City after Mapos submits 50% construction drawings later today.

Testing for COVID-19 remains one of the biggest challenges in the United States. To meet demand, many cities have established drive-through testing; others, like New York City, have pop-up tents. But no matter how you get tested, you still have to interact with a medical professional, which puts the worker at risk (and you, if you’re not actually sick). The architects at SITU, a New York firm that has worked on everything from urban solar panels to human rights violations, are developing a solution: outdoor screening centers that let you get a COVID-19 test, without having to come into direct contact with anyone else.

The coronavirus pandemic has forced architecture and design firms around the country to close their storefronts and offices, move their operations fully online, and lean on a remote workforce to continue doing business.
But landing new projects and keeping clients from delaying planned work is tricky when much of the country has been laid off and almost all companies have seen a drastic drop in sales.

On Friday, May 8, we will wake up to read the worst jobs report in history. While founded during the Gilded Age, the U.S Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics only started tracking job numbers and unemployment statistics in 1948. So while we don't have official Great Depression numbers against which to gauge what is currently happening, it's certain that the unemployment numbers gathering steam now will outpace the 10% peak unemployment rate we saw at the worst of the Great Recession in October 2009 and the 10.8% peak rate in November 1983 (the previous record-setter).

From antibacterial brass doorknobs to broad, well-ventilated boulevards, our cities and buildings have always been shaped by disease. It was cholera that influenced the modern street grid, as 19th-century epidemics prompted the introduction of sewage systems that required the roads above them to be wider and straighter, along with new zoning laws to prevent overcrowding.

Contrary to what we might believe, hearing loss is not always congenital, but could sooner or later happen to any of us. According to the WHO, almost a third of people over 65 suffer from debilitating hearing loss. Yet from a certain perspective, hearing loss could be considered more of a "difference" than a "disability." Although the spatial demands of people with hearing disabilities are not as noticeable as spaces for the blind or for those who experience reduced mobility, the reduction of hearing capacity does entail a particular way of experiencing the environment.

The latest unemployment figures reported by the federal government show staggering job losses across the country in the wake of the COVID-19-induced economic shutdown.

Over the past few decades, interior spaces have become increasingly open and versatile. From the thick walls and multiple subdivisions of Palladian villas, for example, to today's free-standing and multi-functional plans, architecture attempts to combat obsolescence by providing consistently efficient environments for everyday life, considering both present and future use.
