This new book on the Sistine Chapel costs $22,000
Fast Company
Imagine you had $22,000 to spend on something frivolous. What would you buy? Maybe an extravagant vacation? Or perhaps a 1.7 carat cushion-cut yellow diamond ring from Tiffany. Art collectors might snag a signed Warhol lithograph. We spend half our time in quarantine daydreaming, anyway, so think big.

Gensler transforms historic Chicago post office into a modern hub
Interior Design
That Gensler was tapped to renovate and repurpose the Old Chicago Main Post Office into a mixed-use hub for business and commerce comes as little surprise. After all, it’s the city’s largest building—encompassing 2.8 million square feet—and the largest adaptive-reuse project in the U.S., so it makes sense that it was masterminded by the world’s largest design firm. Though the nearby Merchandise Mart boasts more square feet, 4 million, according to Gensler principal and design director Russell Gilchrist, “the Mart could actually fit inside the post office.” That’s because the post office is not a skyscraper, it’s what he calls a “groundscraper,” spanning three city blocks.

Why this Vancouver suburb is putting 950 new homes right next to a farm
Fast Company
Their solution is a relatively new sort of suburban development, where farming and community are co-located and integrated: an agrihood. Called Southlands, the project is a New Urbanist-style development, with a village-like mixed-use, pedestrian-oriented design. It has room for 950 homes centered around a market square that connects to a 325-acre farm. The project is beginning to see its first stages of life, both on the farm and in town, where half of the first 75 homes are sold and residents are beginning to move in.

Survey: Workplace rivalries are on the rise
By Terri Williams
The pandemic has created separation among work teams, but it has also created an increased level of competitiveness as well. According to a new report by global staffing firm Robert Half, 28% of professionals in the U.S. say that workplace rivalries have increased compared to a year ago. Younger workers were more likely than older workers to say that workplace rivalries have increased, and men were more likely than women to report a rise in competition levels.

Do the restaurants of the future still need a dining room?
By Linchi Kwok
It does not seem the coronavirus will be leaving us soon, although we have seen great progress recently for developing a vaccine. In recent weeks, many places have reported a surge of new COVID-19 cases. Some even resumed lockdowns and mask mandates, forcing restaurants to shut down indoor dining services again. As a short-term remedy, restaurants immediately shifted their offerings to curbside pickup and delivery services. Meanwhile, restaurants are testing new concepts to embrace the contactless self-service trend for the future. Here are some examples.

By Michael J. Berens
Hospitality and travel arguably have been the sectors hardest hit by the coronavirus pandemic. Beset by fears of contagion, travel restrictions and mandated closures, hotels rushed to put strict health and safety protocols in place and revamp spaces to accommodate social distancing, with only partial success. Now, as they look ahead to next year and the promise that the virus will be brought under control, hoteliers are exploring what more they can do to lure travelers back to their properties.
