Regarding the Asbestos Significant New Use Rule (SNUR) proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on June 11, 2018, I offer the following.

Fast Company recently reported on the potential comeback of one of the most infamous building materials of recent memory. Asbestos is now legally allowed back into U.S. manufacturing under a serious of loopholes by the Environmental Protection Agency. As Fast Company reported, on June 1, the EPA authorized a “SNUR” (Significant New Use Rule) that allowed the distribution of products containing asbestos on a case-by-case basis.

For school designers and architects, the current debate about how to make schools safer focuses too much on add-on measures.
Metal detectors? More resource officers? Armed teachers? Bulletproof backpacks? These security steps, whether effective or not, don't address the fundamental way that a school works or how people move through it. They also must be balanced with the need to create an environment where kids feel inspired and energized to learn.

 While some still prefer the napkin sketch, architects and designers today have a battery of tools they can employ to convey their visions to clients and stakeholders. But which have the biggest impact on viewers? It may seem a no-brainer that animated digital representations such as virtual reality (VR) and artificial reality (AR) win hands down. That, however, is not always the case. What matters most is not the medium, but the message.

Recently, a team of Harvard researchers set out to determine whether open-plan offices help employees interact with each other. Open-plan offices have come under intense scrutiny, as studies link the design to poor acoustics and employee performance, but companies continue to build them, because they’re cost-effective, and they’re believed to foster communication and collaboration among employees.

History has often been taught in a linear way. This way of teaching has often left out grand historical narratives, and focused primarily on the occidental world.
However, it is also known that to understand how one phenomenon leads to another, it can help to create a broad overview of what humanity has produced over the years. In the history of architecture, it is interesting to understand the central movements and consecrated styles that emerged over time as reactions, that is, continuities or ruptures, in relation to what had been produced so far.

When applied as external cladding, the service lives of various species of timber can range anywhere from 15 to 60 years. That’s a massive, gaping window of time where colors can fluctuate, cracks can occur and extreme weathering can take place. And so, while cost and aesthetic style will be driving factors in your material selection, the key consideration should always be how a species’ performance factors will level up to your design needs. What’s the use in affordability and beauty if they don’t last?

A standing-room-only crowd gathered in the Great Hall of the venerable Metropolitan Club in New York City last December as the Stanford White Awards, created by the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art, were conveyed. (Fittingly, White designed the clubhouse in 1894). In the tristate region, honorees included the architectural duo of Cynthia Filkoff and Armand Di Biase, cited for their design of a temple-like columned pool house with fireplace on a 120-acre estate in Millbrook, New York.

For decades, college dormitories were bare-bones — to put it mildly. They provided basic living units constructed from the cheapest, toughest materials available while squeezing the largest number of students into the smallest amount of space — without much else. However, in recent years, the design of residence halls has undergone a fundamental shift as universities and colleges seek to make their campuses magnets for the brightest young minds.

An unfortunate fact of the AEC (architecture, engineering, and construction) industry is that, between every stage of the process — from planning and design to construction and operations — critical data is lost.
The reality is, when you move data between phases of, say, the usable lifecycle of a bridge, you end up shuttling that data back and forth between software systems that recognize only their own data sets. The minute you translate that data, you reduce its richness and value.
