Sustainable trends of the new architecture are shaping the industry. If you want a building committed to the environment, there is nothing better than CUPACLAD, the natural slate rainscreen cladding system. Natural slate’s inimitable appearance is a real eye-catcher and, at the same time, the best possible barrier against extreme weather. Know more

Looking Ahead to Protect NJ Coastline
AIA NJ
New Jersey was lucky to escape the 2020 hurricane season with little damage, but that doesn’t mean we should stop designing with future storms in mind. Here is an article to get us thinking about bayside communities in the GardenState.

Building for a flooded future: Architects are designing for the new climate reality
CNN
Climate change is making cities more susceptible to flooding. According to a 2019 study, global sea levels are expected to rise between two and seven feet over the course of the century; by 2100, at least 190 million people could be living in areas below the projected high-tide line.
"If our findings stand, coastal communities worldwide must prepare themselves for much more difficult futures than may be currently anticipated," the study warned.

In his own words: 'There are no Black architects'
Construction Dive
As a kid, Nate McCoy liked to draw.
He was so good at it, one of his teachers suggested he should pursue architecture. He liked the sound of that, and the possibility of leaving his mark on the world in the form of buildings he designed.

PROSURANCE REDEKER GROUP
 Together with growing pressure to shorten project schedules and decrease costs, there is a general acknowledgment that specialty subcontractors often have their own approach to fabrication and installation of project components. It is therefore increasingly common for architects and engineers to delegate aspects of the project’s design to the general contractor and its subs. But if the contract and/or project documentation is ambiguous, the design professional may look back and wish that it had provided detailed design of every connection, nut and bolt itself. Read the full article to find out why.

NJ's structural masterpieces showcase the handiwork of world-famous architects
Jersey's Best
Architectural feats mix art and beauty with mathematics and physics, both respecting and defying the laws of gravity. Architects live on through their works, the fully realized creation of their design vision. Lines and curves turn into walls and corners and step by step create the most beautiful representation of human ingenuity.

Novel architecture in the age of the novel coronavirus
Metropolis Magazine
On New Year’s Day this year, none of us could have imagined where we would be by year’s end. Not only have we grappled with the economic effects of a global pandemic, but we have witnessed a societal uprising for Black and Brown lives and passionate defenses of democracy in the face of the rising tide of fascism.

What architects need to know about IECC 2021
Architect
By the end of this year, the latest edition of the International Energy Conservation Code will be available. Updated every three years, the IECC is designed to assist state and local governments to regulate energy use by providing consistent approaches and metrics nationwide and by standardizing performance targets for new commercial and residential buildings.

The case for cookie-cutter buildings
Fast Company
The way buildings get built is wreaking havoc on the climate. Building materials and construction account for 11% of global carbon dioxide emissions, and that doesn’t include the amount of energy they use once they’re built and occupied.
To make buildings more economical and environmentally sustainable, architect John Klein believes they need to be more replicable.

That never-signed modern architecture ban is still making its mark
Architectural Digest
Back in February, a drafted executive order stirred up controversy for its plan around “Making Federal Buildings Beautiful Again.” The move would have broken from tradition to codify an official federal architectural style within the General Services Administration, a departure from nearly 60 years of policy precedent that even architectural classicists proved unwilling to embrace.
