In 2012, in the weeks and months following Superstorm Sandy, AIA-NJ’s members were getting back on their feet. Many of them located in areas where the storm hit hardest not only were helping their clients to rebuild their homes, but were also figuring out how to rebuild their own. AIA-NJ architects were aware that the State still did not have a plan in place on how to rebuild, and FEMA was months away from updating base flood elevations. So how were homeowners to rebuild?

A postcard says ‘wish you were here’.
The sandcastle building was there
The waves come in and wash it where?

New Jersey has approximately 141 miles of shore coastline, a substantial amount of land along the Hudson River, and many inland marshy estuaries; a significant amount of these lands in our state are still unsettled and in disrepair from Superstorm Sandy. In retrospect, what have we learned?

Architecture, having been consumed by the movement toward sustainability in recent decades, now has a new mandate. Resilience. In post-Sandy NJ (and NJ River basins since the mid 20th century) the questions have been: How do we control water? How do we defend against other natural forces that can and have wreaked devastation? What are our policies toward construction on sites that have flooded multiple times? How do we build for future disasters to protect expensive infrastructure, architecture and neighborhood investment? What is the role of the architect in mitigating disaster?

A soliloquy by Laurence E. Parisi, AIA
I recall in architectural school at NYIT, there was a special section in the computer department for architects. Established to enable architectural students to complete their course requirements, I was told architect’s logic did not jive with the computer logic and they were at a disadvantage. Now, these same computer geeks have adopted the title “Architect," isn’t that curious, and this hypocrisy continues as a trendy adjective for everything.

Just days before Hurricane Irma made landfall, Michael Lingerfelt, FAIA, sold his house in Orlando, Florida. But the new owners weren't left in a lurch: Though the storm damaged surrounding residences, he says, “it was like God put a bubble around our house.”
Of course it was not the work of God but rather that of Lingerfelt, who had spent two decades reinforcing his house’s roof, windows, and structure, that saved the house. Lingerfelt knows a fair bit about preparedness, as a former president of the AIA Florida chapter and past chair of the disaster committee of Walt Disney Imagineering, the theme park’s building and engineering arm where he worked for 25 years.

Architecture rarely titillates, but the Standard Hotel in downtown New York is not your average building. Its glass facade straddles the High Line, Manhattan’s eminently Instagrammable elevated park, giving park goers a direct view into the rooms. Courageous guests are known for leaving their curtains open and putting on a show.

Building Design + Construction
Architecture is something that is often pursued as a response to a need; a need for shelter, security, fellowship, work, healing or learning. A building always has some kind of specific purpose, and that purpose frequently impacts people.
People are enigmatic and inherently complex, which can make it difficult to design for a larger population. The first step in tackling this challenge is in seeking to understand people's unique circumstances on a deeper level.

One of the major attractions of stucco is its incredible versatility. As a material that can be finished in an endless array of colors, textures and shapes, many architects have leveraged these qualities to create unique and stunning buildings. However, as a finicky material that is mixed and installed on site, it also comes with it challenges.
Before specifying stucco for your next project, take a look through this guide. You will find everything from inspirational projects to inform your design to the nitty-gritty details of specifying a three-coat stucco façade.

In the years since the Great Recession cratered the steel and glass fantasies of a generation of architects, architecture centered around social justice has gained salience and ever-loftier pedestals. But while architects speak of aspirational ways that design can inspire people to be better, more empathetic citizens, design often does the exact opposite: oppress and marginalize.

Architects must take more responsibility for their work, legendary designer Frank Gehry told a general session audience recently during the 2017 ULI Fall Meeting.
Architects need to “get into the fray,” Gehry said. Too often architects are overprotected and do not accept blame or credit for the cost and efficiency of their buildings, he said. “We need to take more responsibility and become partners” with developers, the 88-year-old Pritzker Prize winner told the audience.

When it was built in Manhattan in 1913, the Woolworth Building — at the time, the tallest building in the world and one of the most technologically advanced — used the early 20th-century version of healthy office design. Every office was within 10 feet of a window for natural light, and a unique air circulation system brought cool air up and hot air down to keep the spaces comfortable. Inside an office on the 24th floor, one new tenant now plans to design a healthy space that is state of the art for the new millennium.

Designing buildings to be sustainable, resilient and safe is at the core of what architects do. Resilient, energy-conscious buildings are good for the environment and for economic policy.
Yet in recent months, policymakers in Washington and in some states have proposed and even succeeded in rolling back regulations that have made America’s buildings among the safest and most advanced in the world. This is ill-advised public policy, especially in the aftermath of hurricanes Harvey and Irma.
