Since Hurricane Harvey — now technically considered a tropical storm — made landfall in Texas late on Friday evening, the city of Houston has been doused with nearly 50 inches of rain and at least 10 people have reportedly died in storm-related incidents. And the damage is only expected to spread as the storm moves east, with the potential for another 50 inches of rain by the weekend and the threat of extreme flooding extending into Louisiana.

Some buildings are designed to take a hit. Data centers, embassies and government buildings are just a few examples of those built to withstand manmade or natural destruction. Increasingly, however, the design of community-oriented spaces like airports, schools and religious spaces is reflecting the need for security, too. The challenge in those cases, of course, is to not make it look too obvious.

Building Design + Construction
Lucy Leonard writes: When planning for my upcoming trip to Europe, I did something interesting — something that betrayed exactly how much of a stereotypical millennial I am. I googled, “most Instagrammable places in Amsterdam.” My parents would most certainly scoff at this (hi, mom and dad!). Live in the moment, they’d say. Put your phone down.
But digital natives practice a different way of living, shopping, traveling and eating — one that’s all about showing…and showing off. It affects the way we look at the world. And it’s changing how designers create spaces.

 While climate change is a global topic, events like the catastrophic floods in Houston after Hurricane Harvey remind us that the consequences can be very local. Scenes of floating trucks and ruined homes are exclamation points in the debate over climate change. In between such events, it can be difficult to build momentum in the debate over urban resilience to increasingly severe weather patterns. But when disaster strikes, the shortcomings can become all too obvious.

Forget style, functionality and aesthetics: architecture’s hot topic is how to design buildings that improve our health, both mental and physical. Cue indoor gardens, emotionally pleasing color palettes, stairs in place of lifts ... even animal enclosures.

Continued urban growth is pressing cities to find new ways to incorporate green space. That's not only so residents can kick back outdoors but also to manage stormwater runoff, air pollution and general environmental quality.
In North America today, green roofs and ample, ground-level gardens are the main ways developers are working this trend into projects.

Being a young architect can be a pretty isolating experience. Slaving away behind a computer for eight (or 10 … or 12 ... or more) hours a day isn’t necessarily the greatest way to feel like you’re part of a community, and it can be hard to get a sense of where the profession is going. Fortunately, we can at least look to the annual NCARB (National Council of Architectural Registration Boards) survey to give us concrete data about trends in the field.

Around the U.S., cities are removing statues that symbolize the nation’s racist history. But once they fall, what will replace them? How do you convey that history without reflecting it uncritically? That’s a question New Orleans-based designer and activist Bryan C. Lee Jr. is trying to answer.

Frank Gehry is 88 years old and has no intentions of slowing down, as the legendary architect has just signed on to design a new museum just blocks from MASS MoCA in North Adams, Massachusetts. The proposed museum, named the Extreme Model Railroad and Contemporary Architecture Museum, is the brainchild of former Guggenheim Director Thomas Kren, and will feature model trains and architectural gems from around the world. Gehry and Kren have collaborated before on Guggenheim projects in Bilbao and Abu Dhabi, and on MASS MoCA, of which Kren is a founder.

What happened to speculation in architecture?
At a recent symposium at the Yale School of Architecture titled “Aesthetic Activism,” Dean of the Syracuse School of Architecture Michael Speaks noted that curiously, architecture has lost its penchant for speculation in recent years. He cited the two most recent Venice Biennales as evidence of this trend, as the curators chose to look at the elements of building (Rem Koolhaas’s Elements, 2014) and reporting on reality in regions beyond what the Biennale had traditionally addressed (Alejandro Aravena’s Reporting from the Front, 2016).
