The silence of architecture by Edmund Sumner
Design Milk
Edmund Sumner harbors the sort of keen eye adept at coaxing new perspectives of color, light, scale, and detail within architectural spaces you might have seen several times over—a skill born of patience and curiosity.

Is it a building? A sculpture? An apparatus for play? Ms. Schweitzer’s ethereal pavilion is all of those things and something more—a physical manifestation of her architectural dreams.

From the British melting pot, "New London Fabulous" emerges
Metropolis Magazine
In May, designer Adam Nathaniel Furman participated in a talk in which he lamented the rigidity of design education, arguing that it “brainwashes” students into believing that monochromatic minimalism is the epitome of good taste. He pointed instead to a handful of designers working in London—Yinka Ilori, Camille Walala, and Morag Myerscough among them—who he said reject this attitude, instead embracing color, pattern, and ornamentation.

5 ways the pandemic has influenced interior design trends in 2020
Forbes
The pandemic has changed life as we know it in every way, but especially how we live in our homes. In a short period, the home has become a place to work, exercise, relax, and even attend school. This has been the single biggest influence on design trends this year.
