An incredible piece of journalism about a most unfortunate event. There are some real lessons in here: don't superficially cover up cracks to make the problem go away; don't assume their isn't a problem just cause you cant see it; fix it when you find it! miamiherald.com/news/special-r…

here it is! the 2021 ARCHITECTURE& DESIGN AWARDS from @LangeAlexandra and yours truly, our 12th (!) annual review of the best and worst from this benighted year! read it and weep (tears of joy and laughter). lamstermd.medium.com/keep-your-damn…

Refresher.

@henrygrabar Yes! Building type surely has a part to play. But FP tech has advanced so much since 2 means was implemented in code that 1 means is conceivable even for Type 5 with sprinklers.

A christmas eve treat! Before you think its impossible in US (to have just one means of egress in multi story resi) read the last paragraph - Seattle already doing it.

@mwmoedinger Your input was great. Thank you! I teach pro prac as the business of arch 101 at GSD. We should get together and compare notes.

Y'all this was so fun - I'm bummed I had to leave early - especially when it's folks like me in leadership positions who need to listen the most! If you were on the call and want to continue the convo re: anything I said (or didn't say, or should've said), chime in...

This Christmas, why not give your loved ones (or John in accounts who you got in the secret Santa) my book? Despite ending in #ClimateEmergency it's optimistic, and mostly about the rich and fascinating past of our great buildings. #architecture #architecturalhistory #zerocarbon

A solid stack.

@_p_antonio My office inside. Generic office but a very good window with views west. Public interiors (lobby and grand stair) are absolutely fantastic.

@IngaSaffron Too sad. Some thoughts on the subject: commonedge.org/the-shape-of-o…

There is no good reason to demolish a building like this.

@randydeutsch @MachadoSilvetti Thank you @randydeutsch

We have an abundant supply of buildings, we’re constructing even more, the buildings that we have are increasingly unfit & too often we wait too long to fix them. @MachadoSilvetti principal @jeffry_136 on what we ought to do commonedge.org/the-shape-of-o… #AEC #architects #architecture

I wrote a little piece on the Shape of Buildings at @CommEdgeCollab

Spot the buildings. A few Machado Silvetti curly cues sprinkled in this Amazing OJB wonderland.

I'm always confusing the names of various ominous organizations so I made a handy chart to keep track

My contribution to the “New York is not dead” genre. With thoughts on how to build a New York that is less for the people who figure prominently in the imaginations of real estate developers, and more for the people who live here. For @archirectmag. architectmagazine.com/Design/buildin…

Too true

Yup.

Wonderful aerial photograph of an outdoor service at Le Corbusier’s Notre Dame du Haut

Well, this by @edwinheathcote is the clearest description of the Biennale that I’ve ever read. ft.com/content/d6c099…
