Building Design + Construction
Design that “puts people back at the center” is now the driving force behind resilient, livable cities, according to Gensler’s just-released 2018 Design Forecast, “Shaping the Future of Cities.”
The 61-page report, which can be downloaded from here, is a collection of more than 200 trends that are defining design across the globe. The report is organized into three sections — Work, Lifestyle, and Cities — and is framed by five forces that Gensler sees as having the greatest impact on businesses, cities, and human experiences: demographic shifts, technology driven disruption, rapid urbanization, climate change and worldwide volatility.

When the world undergoes major changes (be it social, economic, technological or political), the world of architecture needs to adapt alongside. Changes in government policy, for example, can bring about new opportunities for design to thrive, such as the influx of high-quality social housing currently being designed throughout London. Technological advances are easier to notice, but societal changes have just as much impact upon the architecture industry and the buildings we design.

For more than two decades, Phil Miller has been building a world of nightmares on a 1,300-acre farm in Delaware. With eight attractions, Frightland opens for a month each October, shocking visitors with ghoulish hayrides, a grim cemetery and a prison riddled with zombies.
Miller, a former home remodeling contractor, also turns up the terror with CGI effects and theatrics. But there is one iconic symbol of horror that he feels is essential to every haunting experience: a Victorian manor.

It’s a shame that Tokyo-based architect Junya Ishigami’s housing for seniors with dementia was never built.
A client requested a group assisted-living residence in northwest Japan, with the brief that each person’s space should be visually distinct from the others. The residence shouldn’t feel clinical like a hospital — as so much housing for people with dementia does — but rather like a real domestic space, with a distinct entrance for each patient and a central “street.”

The threshold holds special fascination for architects. A doorway, hall, or garden is a spatial manifestation of transition between two phases and can make all the difference in the experience of both. In the design of mental healthcare spaces, where a patient may literally enter in one state and exit in another, the threshold is particularly important.

 We see lots of seductive grand visions for how our cities might look, laid out on master plans that make anything seem possible. But the reality is that these plans generally do not start with a blank canvas. Indeed, the largest obstacle to the reshaping of our cities — whether that is for economic development, smart growth or housing delivery goals — is something much less sexy. The not-so-simple task of land assembly. Land assembly is the process of taking on a plot of land with high potential but highly fragmented ownership, and making it work as a whole.

The work of an architect and urban planner can take on many forms thanks to the diverse curricular composition of most graduate courses, with subjects that deal with designing in different scales and contexts. From great urban plans to home renovations, and the metropolis to furniture design, these branches deal with different objects, however, all in common are the use of drawing and models as a tool for representation.

Resilient design has emerged as a paradigm shift in architectural practice. Increasingly covered by the AEC industry over the last two decades, the need for adaptation, mitigation and regulatory strategies has become irrefutable as climate change has been identified as one of the 21st century’s biggest global crises. On average, the destruction caused by extreme weather events has cost the U.S. economy $200 billion a year over the past 10 years.

Since the widespread use of antibiotics to treat tuberculosis started in the 1950s, most people have forgotten about the disease that was, at one point, the deadliest illness in America. But go back two or three generations in your own family, and chances are, you’ll find at least one relative who was affected by tuberculosis, also known as consumption or “the white plague.”
