From June 27: Not so long ago, clients interested in virtue-signaling their solidarity with green causes would simply ask their interior designer to work in a few “eco-conscious” touches. The resulting rooms often turned out looking rather like the inside of a sauna with a few hemp pillows sourced from, say, a collective in Guatemala. It was, perhaps, mostly cosmetic, but everyone’s consciences were assuaged.

From June 6: These days, workplaces often contain cafes, wellness rooms, and lounges galore. But a bar? Not as likely—let alone four of them. But such is the case at the North American headquarters of the Campari Group—the Milan-based company famous for its bright-red namesake aperitif—that now also counts more than 50 other beverage brands in its portfolio. Mix them all together, and it makes Campari Group, the sixth largest spirits company in the world—a feat worthy of celebrating. Gensler helped the group do so with its new two-story New York office.

From March 7: In 2015, Brian Faherty was in Pittsburgh searching for a new East Coast “outpost” for Schoolhouse Electric—the Portland–based lighting and homewares manufacturing company he owns—when he stumbled upon a shuttered, bronze-paneled building in the East Liberty neighborhood. It was called the Detective Building, named for its last tenants, the City of Pittsburgh Bureau of Police Investigations.
