Through a selection of essays from the Journal of Architectural Education (JAE) and its 75-year history, this volume showcases not only the development of a single publication but also the evolution and expansion of the entire discipline. This book celebrates the rich history of the JAE, which is the longest continually running peer-reviewed journal in the discipline of architecture, as a major platform for the dissemination of new pedagogical and scholarly ideas. From discourses on drawing and design processes to issues of new media and the environment, The Evolving Project is a journey in space and time that documents the changing project of architectural education after World War II—namely its transformation from a professional training ground to an intellectual platform that allowed architectural educators to boldly engage the larger social, cultural, and political issues of their time.

Almost, Not: The Architecture of Atelier Nishikata is the story of a remarkable architecture practice in Tokyo. Partners Reiko Nishio and Hirohito Ono have built just four residential works, until now remaining little-known outside of Japan. But the extraordinary, almost-ordinary quality of their work warrants the spotlight. It has much to teach students of architecture and experienced architects alike.

In 1897, Frank Lloyd Wright, Robert Spencer, Dwight Perkins, and Myron Hunt, all young architects just starting out in practice, shared office space in Chicago. This book is both a history of that brief period and an attempt to assess the extent to which they collaborated on their architectural designs and on the creation of architectural theory which would impact a half century of architectural design. While there is little firsthand documentation of the time spent in their shared loft office in Steinway Hall, this study engages in a side by side comparison of projects they each designed while working there. Overlapping ideas, design similarities, and an analysis of their subsequent work, all suggest that these individuals formed a creative “collaborative circle” of friends, who jointly developed ideas later claimed as the work of Frank Lloyd Wright. This is a book about artistic collaboration at a time when discussions of art and architectural history are still largely dominated by the belief that significant works are created by the lone artistic genius.

For almost thirty years Claude Cormier et Associés has designed landscapes daring in scope while earnest in execution, courting controversy while inviting public accord. Produced under the leadership of Claude Cormier, the range of these projects has spanned the creation of parks and squares, the renovation of historical landscapes, and the conversion of industrial sites. While always serious in the address of function, their designs often display a touch of humor in both method and form—in all, these are works marked by “serious fun.” It is a practice unique in Canada, arguably in the world. That people use, and may even love, these urban landscapes testifies to the pleasure afforded by their designs and the humanistic dimensions of the practice. This, the first book exclusively dedicated to the landscapes of Claude Cormier and his team, provides a broad overview of their ideas and methods with insightful discussions of selected projects and the thinking behind them.

Zuecca Projects is very proud to present the exhibition TROPICALIA – Architecture, Materials, Innovative Systems, one of the official COLLATERAL EVENTS of the 17th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia.

DesignIntelligence interacts with thousands of built environment professionals and academics each month through its publications, events, research, and advisory services. As we stride forward emerging from the global pandemic, we are intent on articulating transformative understanding gleaned from the many months of introspective isolation and wholly new patterns of interaction.

The Royal Danish Academy’s Institute of Architecture and Design and Grundejernes Investeringsfond (Danish Landowners' Investment Fund) invite architects, building industry actors and homeowners to a public presentation and discussion of graduate student Claire Kimball Johnson’s thesis project A Renovation Wave for Denmark – a strategy to increase architect-led sustainable renovations of private residential properties in Denmark. The project is a response to the EU Commission’s New European Bauhaus – a call for high-quality, sustainable and inclusive design solutions.

Galerie Gmurzynska Presents "Abstracting The Landscape"

browngrotta arts is pleased to announce their Spring 2021 “Art in the Barn” exhibition, "Adaptation: Artists Respond to Change". The exhibition looks at the myriad ways artists change direction or their practice in response to changed circumstances like a move, a health issue, a shift in personal circumstances, or, more recently, a global pandemic.

We invite you to participate in summer school for students and young professionals!

Women are extraordinary designers, yet the architecture profession lags behind our potential and we owe it to ourselves to step up and to take pride in our ambitions.

As a minority within architecture, women often feel alone and confused, unsure how to navigate the complex field while juggling heavy caring responsibilities.

Non Architecture just launched “Into the Wild”, a compilation of design competitions aiming to approach the element of nature in different perspectives. Three unconventional design competitions to discover new synergies between natural ecosystems and humans.

IAAC is pleased to announce the Public Play Space Symposium that will be held over two days on the 14 and 15 July 2021. The Symposium is organized in the framework of the Public Play Space (PPS) project, co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.

Should architectural criticism be enlightening? Should it help in the creation of a better built environment? Is there a factual basis to it? Does it have a duty to present evidence in the evaluation of a building? Or should it take on what architects say about their designs?

The Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC) is a center for research, education, production, and outreach, with the mission of envisioning the future habitat of our society and building it in the present.
