Architecture embodies everything it is to be human. It is a rich field that touches on issues of national and individual identity, society, economics, politics and culture, and as architects we must strike a balance between these different subjects. In this sense, we often find ourselves negotiating at the threshold.
Most fundamentally, architecture is the enclosure of space, the distinction between what is inside and outside. The threshold is the moment at which that changes; the edge of what is building and what is something else.

Few experiences deliver a sense of powerlessness quite like a flood. The devastating deluge that Hurricane Harvey brought to Houston and other parts of south Texas has left tens of thousands homeless and as many residences and buildings uninhabitable. Meanwhile, before Texans have even come to terms with the extent of the damage, Hurricane Irma has wrought havoc in the Caribbean and Florida, devastating entire communities and countries.
Although the vicissitudes of climate are partly to blame for any meteorological calamity, poor design plays a significant role.

It’s every new graduate’s worst nightmare — you spend four years of your life toiling away to earn the college degree that you believe is the perfect intersection of passion and financial security only to find out that come senior spring, you still are unemployable. Or even worse, you actually land your dream job at the perfect company, start your career off at a blistering pace and then the next thing you know, the economy turns and you are handed the dreaded pink slip. That’s exactly what happened to architect turned entrepreneur Pat Flynn in 2008 when he was told by his firm that he would be let go due to the recession.

On the windswept southern side of Martha’s Vineyard, at the end of a rural road that emerges from a dark copse of oak trees, sit two austere, inky-black farmhouse-style buildings — a studio and a private residence — that compose Chilmark House. Designed by the New Haven, Connecticut, firm Gray Organschi Architecture with Aaron Schiller, founder of the New York City-based Schiller Projects, the home, which was built for Schiller’s family, is clad in approximately 80 charred louvers he torched entirely by hand.

Disasters like Hurricanes Harvey and Irma are inevitable when we construct cities in harm's way, says Aaron Betsky, who believes we have designed ourselves into a Catch-22 of create and protect.
It could have been worse. That is the best you can say about the twin natural catastrophes that hit Texas and Florida recently. The question remains: In how far did design and planning both put more people in harm's way and helped prevent a higher toll of death and destruction?

Newly renovated low-income housing units in Boston earned awards for green design and building but flunked indoor air-quality tests, a new study shows.
Researchers found potentially carcinogenic levels of toxic chemicals in the remodeled homes before and after residents moved in. All of the 30 eco-friendly homes in the study had risky indoor air concentrations for at least one chemical.

Architecture lives among the visual and fine arts, so it’s no surprise that architects are trained to make beautiful drawings, renderings, and scale models. Media evolves, but as computers replace traditional paper, classic presentation techniques still reign. Today’s design output is essentially what the profession has always produced: compelling imagery.

The history of humans building shelters goes back over 10,000 years. Over this time, the human need to build was distilled into the profession of architecture, and in the process it attracted all manner of eccentric, visionary, and stubborn individuals. In light of both architecture's long history and its abundance of colorful characters, it's no surprise that it's full of surprising and unlikely stories. From Lincoln Logs and the Olympics to Ouija boards and 9/11, here are 13 architecture-related facts you may not have previously known.
