8 Emerging Architects Create an Unexpected Playful Contrast for Greenwich's Design District
The Greenwich Design District is the next phase in London's largest single regeneration project - a new creative hub providing affordable workspaces and studios. Eight up and coming architecture practices have 'blindly' designed two buildings each, independently from one and other. The result is an amalgamation of 'architectural anarchy' and a 'neighborhood of playful contrasts.'
Urban developers Knight Dragon are coordinating the entire development of Greenwich Peninsula, celebrating the diversity of art, design, technology, music, and food industries that this innovative district will be the home of. The mix of architecture stays true to the ideals of the district, presenting a provocative front of 'unexpected contrasts' brought together by the same natural paving throughout the pedestrianized quarter designed by Schulze+Grassov to encourage communication and interaction between the public.

SINGLEHANDEDLY: Open Call for Submissions
When there are so many powerful computer visualization and drafting programs available, why do architects still draw by hand? What intelligence does the body bring to paper? And what richness do pen and ink bring to a design?
Single-Handedly, a forthcoming book from Princeton Architectural Press (http://www.papress.com), looks closely to find out more, as it celebrates hand drawings by practicing architects worldwide.
If you would like to be considered for inclusion, please complete this online submission form (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScvbLCYaZsNsz1wzf5lsJ3yF_ivi-wqVQSAp8f1Se3vAKSzaA/viewform). The deadline for submissions is Friday, December 1, 2017, 11:59 p.m.
Please limit your submissions to drawings that are solely produced by hand; no computer-generated

Art Deco Inspired 45 Broad Street by CetraRuddy to Become Tallest Residential Tower in Lower Manhattan
Harkening back to the Art Deco structures of New York’s Financial District, CetraRuddy’s 45 Broad Street is set to rise in Lower Manhattan. After a groundbreaking ceremony in April, construction on the project has now begun. Once complete, the tower will top out at a peak of 1,115 feet (340 meters), making it the second tallest building in lower Manhattan (behind only One World Trade Center) and the tallest residential building south of the so-called “Billionaire’s Row” in Midtown.

Foster + Partners Breaks Ground on Canada's Tallest Building in Toronto
Canada’s future tallest building, The One, has broken ground in downtown Toronto. Designed by Foster + Partners, the 85-story building will become the country’s first supertall skyscraper (commonly defined as taller than 300 meters/980 feet), rising to a peak of 306 meters (1,004 feet). The tower will also take over the title of Canada’s second tallest manmade structure, behind only the CN Tower.
Located at the corner of Bloor Street and Yonge Street on the border between downtown and Yorkville, the residential tower will respond to its unique context, embodying the neighborhood character of Yorkville, the bustling commercial life of Bloor Street and the local heritage of Yonge Street.
