The AIA DC - Urban Design Committee (https://www.aiadc.com/committee/urban-design-committee) has a fun stay at home challenge for everyone. In this challenge, let us look at what is happening outside through the lens of a camera (cell phones make for great cameras). So, open your windows and share your images!

When we take photos, we use all kinds of things to frame our images and get the viewer’s eye to focus where we want it: architectural elements, monuments, cityscape, lighting. You know what can be a great frame? An actual frame — a window frame.

Windows make up an abode, but they are

NEW REALISMO - INVENTORY OF HUMAN EXPERIENCE.
Is a catalogue of gestures in PNG to make people reflect on and perceive the city and the social spaces from a new point of view.

Starting from the resources familiar to them, Lashup decided to contribute creatively by documenting the experiences of people living the social spaces at the time of a global health emergency.

As the Italian Neorealism represented a narrative of reality in Italy after the Second World War, so the project restarts from this concept expanding it from global "NEW" to local "REALISM", considering the impact of the situation on the whole

The award sets for itself from the very beginning the objective of becoming a major reference in the international design field, by providing a

BRIEF
Being a successful architect is very hard. While this is no secret to anyone who has lead a team or studied the profession; the less obvious thing is what to do about it.

Architects stereotypically lean on the purity of their ideas over their practicality and application. Schools rarely teach about business and firms are subject to the swings of both the client and the economy. These cracks in the business model of architecture are constantly debated but industry-wide action seems non-existent.

At DesignClass we've been asking ourselves; can architects responded to these challenges by developing their own projects?

Join us for the second program in Design for Everyone, a lecture series that seeks to open up conversations about design to broader, more diverse audiences. Produced by Form Function Studio in partnership with Goethe-Institut and DC Public Library.

Design for Everyone: An Intro to Urban Planning & Design
Learn the basics of how urban planning and design helps shape our cities, create communities, and make connections between people, places, nature, and the built environment.

About the Speaker
Ifeoma Ebo is an experienced Urban Strategist that has harnessed design and management capabilities to lead projects in architecture, urban revitalization, community /

The second annual MICROHOME architecture competition is part of the Bee Breeders Small Scale Architecture Appreciation Movement, which hopes to highlight the fact that bigger isn’t always better.

UnBuilding Building

Our built environment is in a constant state of destabilization by changing environments, influences, and functions. In a landscape where architecture is often pushed to sublimate into other types of creative practices, permanence in architecture is no longer something that can be taken for granted. We confront this question of permanence of buildings through actively constructing

With The Next 100 Years Project – Architect Edition, we invite architects to speculate on the built environment after the pandemic. It can be a simple cocktail napkin sketch or an elaborate drawing. It can illustrate the smallest detail or the broadest brush stroke of public or private space. It can be pencil or charcoal or crayon or even watercolor, but it has to be done by hand. We also ask architects to write a 100-word essay that describes their image and their vision for the future. The entries will be judged by a panel of design professionals and the

When we came together in February to celebrate the launch of Gathering, we considered transformational retail experiences rooted in brand values; the desire to physically experience a brand – both by drawing energy and inspiration from being in a store to the tactility of the product; and the role retail environments play as a third space in our larger communities. Repeatedly we heard the refrain; “bad retail is dying.” We discussed how retail brands have adapted to embody their values, designed for experiences, and built authentic connections with their consumer base. In today’s context we’re considering the future of that
