Inova Fairfax Hospital began laying the groundwork for a new cancer facility for its campus in 2012, envisioning a simple medical office building for outpatient cancer services on a greenfield site north of the hospital. But a year into planning, a wooded, 117-acre campus across the street from the flagship—the former headquarters of ExxonMobil corporation—went on the market, presenting a tremendous opportunity to the hospital’s owner, Inova Health System, to rethink everything. Both architecture and interiors were done by Wilmot Sanz.

On the ground floor of the 4,700-square-foot-space, the Bar Resalao welcomes guests with walls covered in white fabric braided to mimic fishing nets and backlit with neon shapes bringing to mind creatures of the deep.

For an emerging group of tech leaders—and architects—who want to see greater gender equity reflected across the industry, creating environments where younger girls have access to tech fundamentals has become an urgent priority. Take Black Girls Code, for example. Its founder, Kimberly Bryant, recalls feeling “culturally isolated” throughout her training in engineering, so she launched Black Girls Code to provide young girls a point of access to tech fundamentals, including coding.

AAmp Studio was hired to do a full renovation and addition to a 100-year old townhouse in Toronto’s West End neighborhood.

In contrast, bold black accents were incorporated within the kitchen and the darkened staircase that spans all three floors.

Last October, in San Francisco’s Mission District, the independent craft brewery Fort Point Beer Company opened its third Bay Area location in as many years (with a fourth on its way). But rather than follow the hackneyed template of other beer halls—think heavy wooden furniture and industrial hanging lights—the watering hole took on an organic, jewel-toned identity with a Scandinavian inflection.
By drawing on an identity already both abstract and literal, Dina Dobkin—the creative director for Fort Point and the designer of the taproom—pulled off a true feat of marketing: that is, branding without branding.

When you’re building your business, you often have to do whatever you can to generate content and word-of-mouth traction, says Andrew Torrey, principal of Manhattan interior design firm B.A. Torrey. “Even stuff for your friends for free—so long as you can photograph it for social media,” he says. But you certainly don’t want to feel taken advantage of, and the line is always murky. So Torrey suggests talking to your friends about trading in kind. “Is your friend an attorney? Maybe he could help you craft an ironclad NDA or review your design agreement terms,” he says. Or maybe your friend is a writer—or builds websites. Or walks dogs.

Creating safe and secure urban spaces is a core concern for city managers, urban planners, and policy workers. Safety is a slippery concept to pin down, not least of all because it is a subjective experience. It incorporates our perceptions of places and memories but also norms in society about who is expected to use spaces in the city, and who is considered to be out of place.

 Natural environments and the presence of nature in built environments have been found to produce beneficial effects on occupants. Those findings have given rise to the growing use of biophilic design strategies, which seek to improve occupant health and well-being through the incorporation of nature views and natural elements into interior environments. Now, scientists are learning more about how and why we respond to natural stimuli in certain ways—research that can help designers to refine their application of biophilia to have greater impact.
