In 1990, Congress enacted the Americans with Disabilities Act. The intention of the Act is to “provide a clear and comprehensive national mandate for the elimination of discrimination against individuals with disabilities.” When it comes to incorporating that into architecture, the use of your building is what will dictate the requirements you have to adhere to.

AIA New Jersey has a very short history of African American Presidents. A list of two, to be exact, and those two history-making leaders were the only pair of AIA New Jersey Presidents that were a parent and son. This relationship may be a possible reason for both men to have risen to AIA New Jersey’s highest seat.

In 1977, after deciding to apply to architecture school, my parents thought that maybe I should actually meet an architect. But where are the architects? We didn’t know anyone in our town who was an architect, nor did we know anyone who had ever hired one. I grew up in a suburban NJ neighborhood composed of "production" housing by a developer and the schools were of the 1960’s "cookie cutter" variety, sprinkled around town.

Coming from a family of engineers and architects, I knew what I wanted to become when I grow up! I got admitted to Architecture school and under the guidance of some distinguished professors, I started developing my interest in sustainable architecture. I delved deeper in the vernacular architecture of India varying from Haveli architecture of deserts to stone architecture of timeless monuments spanning throughout the country. I researched how passive design strategies were used in different climatic

In a profession that does not lend itself kindly to young families, I have made it a priority to have a comfortable work/life balance while successfully advancing my career. I am the sole proprietor of LMC Architecture, LLC, and I am a mom. I received my BArch from Syracuse University in 2003, shortly after getting engaged. When I shared news of my engagement with my thesis advisor she responded, “Congratulations — don’t let it affect your work!” I was continually met with this same half-hearted respect for family life as I started my career.

Materials, products and construction systems are constantly evolving and following new technologies, discoveries and market trends. The question is: are we, as architects, evolving with them? We have heard about robots working on construction sites, responsive and intelligent materials and the continued rise of 3-D printing, but is it all white noise at the moment of starting a new design?

Could Newark, New Jersey, be the Northeast’s next big tech hub? It already boasts the region’s most advanced fiber-optic network and serves as home to digital giants like Audible.com, an Amazon company. No wonder it was a top contender for HQ2. Though it didn’t win the bid, one major project that’s been in planning for three years could raise the city’s status to the next level.

Architects work notoriously long hours, often to deliver design deliverables on a tight schedule or to iterate on more concepts. Add to that high-pressure environment office drama, poor leadership, and selfish individuals and you have a recipe for toxic work culture.
Here, several firm leaders share their advice for resisting — and reversing — a negative corporate environment.

With the rise of online availability, the need for items can be accomplished at the push of a button. However, some brands are trying to find ways to make retail stores relevant and interesting in today's consumer market. Have retail stores lost their touch?

Building Design + Construction
The first rule of high performance design is to create spaces that are beautiful and beloved by all stakeholders including the client, users, and community. This will ensure the building is preserved, relevant, and maintained for 25, 50, 100 or 200 years.
The second rule (more of a question) is this: What are we bringing to the table outside of solving a program and delivering the project on schedule and budget?

Common Edge
From the first day of architecture school, every student is a Starchitect-in-Training.
What do you want to do with this degree?
Well, probably I’ll start my own practice. Maybe not right away but eventually that’s what I want to do.
Studio assignments reinforce the naive logic driving this hypothetical exchange, with each student being sole proprietor, partner, lead architect, project designer, project manager, and sometimes even client. The dream? To be the boss.

The human figure is fundamental in order to understand scale in illustrations, hyper-realistic renders, collages and three-dimensional representations. However, it often seems to be one of the last elements to be incorporated, when it should be a thoughtful decision, intrinsically related to the project. What do human figures transmit beyond the scale of a project?

More people are moving into urban spaces. At the same time, development is booming. This confluence of events results in something that scientists call the “urban heat island effect” — a general warming of metropolitan areas due to human activity and lack of vegetation.
What’s there to do? Architects have a few ideas. But the most unexpected of them is a new project from Netherlands architecture firm UNStudio, who partnered with pigment company Monopol Colors to create a white paint they call the Coolest White.
