Growing up on a 100-acre farm in rural Missouri, Pamela Conrad spent virtually all of her childhood outdoors. Wading through swollen creeks in springtime and helping her father bale hay during harvest, she developed an early awareness of the often precarious relationship between humans and the powerful natural world.
“Living that closely to the environment helps you truly understand life and death,” she says. “If your garden fails, you don’t have food. If the cows get out, you might get hurt.”

At the beginning of 2019, we identified 3D printing as a trend that would influence architecture in 2019. This was not a difficult prediction to make. Aside from noting a 70% increase in reader interest in 3D printing throughout the previous year, we saw how the architectural community has had a long-running engagement with 3D printing, from using the technology to tackle homelessness, to creating affordable yet complex structural connections.

 We have all likely come across master plans, the "placemaker's" new tool of choice. They mostly take the form of differently colored polygons within a site outline to delineate what uses will be allowed where and how an area of new development might take shape. But until recently, master plans have been quite unfashionable. In an age of speculative anything-goes urbanism, development has resisted attempts to grow itself along a "trellis" drawn up by the planners. Here we look at what master planning means as a process and what challenges it faces for the future.

TED, the popular media organization that posts talks online under the slogan "Ideas worth spreading," is taking on arguably the biggest issue of our time: climate change. At a recent event in New York City, TED held another of its famous talks, in which it pledged to direct its power and energy toward the goal of creating a carbon-neutral environment by 2050.

Of the varying aspects of architectural and interior design, lighting is one element that can visually enhance or destroy a space. This influence stems from the wide range of artificial lighting designed for the most widely differing tasks, environments, and purposes, including internal and even external spaces such as facades and landscape projects. Think of two environments with the same dimensions and layout.

Humans spend almost 90% of the time indoors; that's approximately 20 hours a day in closed rooms and nine hours a day in our own bedrooms. The architectural configurations of these spaces are not random - that is, they have been designed or thought of by someone, and are at least slightly "guided" by the conditions of their inhabitants and their surroundings.

According to Financial Times critic Edwin Heathcote, the “modern architecture is the story of the starchitect, the architect as lone genius, the brilliant flair of the sketch on the napkin, the celebrity, the worldwide renown.”
Japanese architect Kengo Kuma begs to differ.

kid wants to climb up the slide. Go to the nearest playground, and you’ll see children clamoring to defy gravity, following an impulse to run up inclines that leads to toddler traffic jams and exasperated parents trying to create order from chaos.
The only problem with how children play on slides, says Meghan Talarowski, a designer, researcher, and advocate who founded Philadelphia-based landscape architecture firm Studio Ludo, is that the playground’s designer didn’t see it coming.

Common Edge
Conversations around resiliency today seem to imply that planners and designers might be capable of — might even be expected to — save every building and public space at risk. The sad truth is, however, that we cannot, and perhaps we should not. Climate change and its attendant sea level rise will radically redraw urban edges, forcing us to make difficult decisions. Even if we had the vast sums of money required to protect the precarious status quo, that might not be enough to stave off the inevitable.

How many times have you sent a client past-due invoices, only to hear nothing back?
Small-to-medium-sized enterprises in the U.S. were owed $825 billion in 2016, according to figures released by invoicing financing company Fundbox. And the value of funds tied up in unpaid SME invoices is equivalent to 5% of the GDP!
