Two skyscrapers entered America's top 10 within the past year, but they're small fries among the world's tallest.
New York City's 30 Hudson Yards (1,268 feet) opened a few weeks ago. Late in 2018, the Comcast Technology Center (1,121 feet) opened in Philadelphia. Both have redefined their skylines, yet they wouldn't even rise halfway up the Burj Khalifa (2,717 feet) in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The University of Idaho has one architectural marvel on its campus with the "Kibbie Dome," a sports arena that dates to the 1970s and whose inside has been likened to a tin can cut in half, thanks to its arched roof of wood-and-steel trusses. Now it's gunning for another, right next door.
The proposed 4,200-seat Idaho Central Credit Union (ICC) Arena will have a structure that consists primarily of wood, using innovative construction technology that is gradually finding its way into new campus buildings across the U.S.

It is poignant that the great cathedral of Notre Dame is probably receiving as much attention now, as its fate hangs in the balance, than at any other time in its 850-year history. Rarely has the destruction of an historic work of architecture generated so much public emotion.
Last year, the inferno at Brazil's National Museum in Rio de Janeiro destroyed many cultural artifacts and rattled the country's sense of its own history, but international interest in the disaster quickly dwindled.

Think “Bauhaus” and what comes to mind? Geometric shapes? Primary colors? Sleek modern chairs in lobbies everywhere? All of those would be valid associations.
Founded by German architect Walter Gropius in 1919, the Bauhaus school aimed to unite art, craft and industry. So it makes sense that common perceptions of the Bauhaus are largely aesthetic-driven and object-based (unless you immediately think of one of countless entities that have since cleverly adapted the name, from steamed-bun-selling Baohaus to doggie day cares named Bowhaus to modernist-home-gawking Wowhaus).

A lightweight material par excellence, Zinc is a non-ferrous metal that provides an effective solution for coating buildings exposed to adverse weather condition while simultaneously delivering a creative response to the requirements of the program and the users of the project.
When in contact with humidity, Zinc panels generate a self-protecting layer that isolates heat from indoor spaces during the summer.

Everyone can recall their favorite toy as a child. For some, these childhood toys inspired interests and passions that led to specific career pursuits as an adult. Thinking back on one's own experience with toys like LEGO and Lincoln Logs, these simple pieces of wood and plastic led to endless amounts of fun and creative possibility. As a child, I recall spending hours playing with Little Tykes Waffle Blocks and Playskool's colored wooden blocks.

Until recently, the architecture world largely viewed plastic polymers as inferior building materials, handy for wipe-clean kitchen surfaces, but not practical in full-scale building applications. But with technological innovations driving material capabilities forward, polymers are now being taken seriously as a legitimate part of the architect’s pallet.

For a long time, architectural innovation has primarily been about attempting to reach new heights with towering skyscrapers and mega-developments. But recently, several projects have tried to plumb the depths, trading views of the city for those of marine life. So what has taken architects out of the clouds and under the sea? For starters, there’s a wow-factor that comes with a subaquatic space, offering an opportunity to see a part of the word rarely seen without a wetsuit or submersible.
