Rooted in early United States history and considered among the best small towns in America, the Philadelphia suburb of Moorestown, New Jersey, is a great place to be an architect. Kimberly Bunn, current president of the New Jersey Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, definitely agrees. She's written a book on the community called Moorestown, released in 2014, and many of her professional projects focus on adaptive reuse or preservation of local buildings.

The purpose of a line to serve as a boundary between space, whether that be a line down the middle of a blank page or one that form a letter in our writing. The same could be said for walls, roofs and other architectural elements. The physical boundaries and space constructed by those are considered as hard, not because of their material qualities, but because the volume definition of the space is defined and stable; they formed hard architecture. Though, as a inhabitant enters this define space, another space is formed, in their mind, through their perceptions and senses.

Architects and engineers are typically the first parties to take action when a client decides to begin construction on a new property development. Typically, a client commissions an architectural team to draft up the blueprints for a new building. Once the architects dream up the edifice, the project goes to engineers, who figure out how to turn these blueprints into a three-dimensional structure. Following the architects and the engineers, building services consultants and structural engineers get involved to determine the project's feasibility and what it will take to complete construction. Only at this point will a general contractor become involved in the process to begin the actual work, and even then, the GC will subcontract much of the work to other outside parties.

It's that time of the year when college rankings becomes a hot topic of conversation, and not strictly due to football. Architectural Record just released its annual ranking of architecture schools across the country, listing Cornell and Harvard as the top undergraduate and graduate programs, respectively, based on survey responses from more than 1,000 firms. Ranking, of course, can be subjective, and numerous factors go into shaping and creating a successful architect. Short of lucky breaks or unique circumstances, most architects enter the field through school, and most find their first break and develop the initial project after college.

In 2011, five years into an economic slump in Puerto Rico, designers Ricardo Álvarez-Díaz, AIA, and Cristina Villalón thought seriously about packing up their San Juan–based firm, Álvarez-Díaz & Villalón, and moving to Miami. But then, in 2012, Puerto Rico passed Act 20, which lowers the corporate income tax rate to 4 percent for local companies that export services. Suddenly, Álvarez-Díaz says, it made much more sense to stay.

Wood is taking over from steel and concrete as the architectural wonder material of the 21st century, with architects praising its sustainability, quality and speed of construction. New types of engineered timber that are considerably stronger and more stable than regular wood are allowing architects to build bigger and higher, with timber skyscrapers now a real prospect. "This is the beginning of the timber age," said U.K. architect Andrew Waugh, whose firm Waugh Thistleton is behind a housing development in London that will use more timber than any other project in the world.
