Recently, the Federal Emergency Management Administration removed the reference to “climate change” from their strategic plan. This is especially troubling considering that FEMA is responsible for coordinating the government’s disaster response. Removal of this key terminology promotes an “alternate reality” and a perception that climate change is not responsible for the increase in many of our natural disasters.

From ceramic tiles and metal sheets for roofs to wooden decks and floating cement tiles for roofing, roofing materials not only contribute to the drainage and protect the lower layers from solar radiation and wear, but also have an important aesthetic function.

A workplace that improves employee productivity and efficiency has been a white whale of corporate managers for decades. But even before the office as we know it today was born, designers and innovators were already studying sites of labor, such as the factory, to devise strategies to boost worker performance. By the 1960s, Robert Propst, the inventor behind Herman Miller’s Action Office line of workplace furniture, and others were conducting workspace research that would ultimately lead to the creation of the modern cubicle.

A grand staircase was the pièce de résistance in many historic buildings, from Michelangelo’s sensual take within the Laurentian Library in Florence, Italy, to San Francisco’s City Hall, a backdrop for thousands of weddings. “There was a time when the staircase was a sculptural event as you entered and exited a building,” says David Burney, FAIA, former commissioner of the New York City Department of Design and Construction and now a visiting associate professor at the Pratt Institute. “The design of the stair was where you could flex your muscles as an architect.”

Gravity is undeniable. We stand, lift packages, wince when we see our weight on the scale. For architects, gravity has special meaning: it is the essential force to be dealt with. Weather, energy, materials all matter too — but those all have local realities specific to their location.
Gravity is the forever constant. But there is another universal element in design: history, the role of what has passed from idea to reality in all things, everywhere.

 Woe the fate of the poor urban designer. Forced to wander the streets of our cities, painfully alive to all of the errors of our design history, the sort of things that most of us walk past with barely a glance. In this series of articles, we will be looking at a few of the things we have been getting badly wrong when designing our cities, and that we are now scrambling to rectify. That will mean throwing light on a series of often unglamorous details and the role they play in our environment.

This question can be basic and you may know the answer, but it's always good to remember some elementary calculations that help us to streamline the design process.
As we know, a staircase consists basically of a series of steps, which in turn consist of a tread (the horizontal part, where the foot will rest) and a riser (the vertical part). Although it can vary in its design, each step must also have one or more landings, handrails and a small nosing.

Aaron Betsky writes:
Lord save us from bloviating architects. It seems to be one of the banes of the profession that designers, given a chance to present their work in lectures or publications, take the opportunity to not just explain what they have done, but also to make overly grand claims for their work.

In the summer of 2015, when the architecture studio Kieran Timberlake moved into its new office space in Philadelphia, the firm became its own science experiment.
Kieran Timberlake had renovated a former beer bottling plant, Ortlieb’s Bottling House, relying on a mix of passive strategies to cool the historic building. During the first months in the space, the architects wanted to understand how their plans were working in real time–so they installed their own network of 300 sensors inside the two-story building to record quantitative data about the temperature and other metrics.
