The 13 most controversial buildings in history
Architectural Digest
From Aug. 4: New buildings are constructed every day. Some to overwhelming fanfare, others to disdain, and most to little more acknowledgment than a passing glance on the street. Of course, there’s also another option: controversy. It doesn’t come around often, but when it does, it’s hard to forget.

See inside the world's first airport for flying cars
Architectural Digest
From May 18: We’ve taken a giant step closer to a Jetsons-like future with the opening of Urban-Air Port’s Air-One, touted as the world’s first flying-taxi hub. Opened recently in Coventry, England, the station is being positioned as a pioneer for more than 200 electric vertical takeoff and landing ports that are planned to be built around the globe. Zero-emission drones will ferry passengers and transport cargo as part of what the company calls “the coming green air transportation revolution.”

10 most peculiar New Jersey sites
New Jersey Digest
From April 6: There is nothing better than planning day trips to explore different parts of New Jersey.

Can architects finally have a seat at the table? Labor rights and work conditions in architecture
ArchDaily
From Jan. 5: The early stages of practicing architecture are often met with what many explain as "the slippery slope of being an architect", where expectations do not at all meet reality of the profession and gets worse as the experience progresses. With constant burnouts as a result of working overtime and on weekends on the account of “gaining experience”, extraordinary expectations, low wages, and physical and mental strains, the prestige of being an architect has evidently vanished with modern-day work conditions.

Concrete floors and metal cladding make this $1.5M New Jersey home a modernist lover's dream
6sqft
From June 15: For lovers of the sharp, streamlined design and open floorplans of modern architecture, this newly listed New Jersey home may be a perfect fit. Located just minutes from Princeton University, the property at 4580 Province Line Road consists of a 2,400-square-foot contemporary-style house, clad in metal and anchored by a central courtyard. Asking $1,499,000, the flexible two-bedroom home was designed by the New York City-based architects at Leven Betts.

Don't kill the design studio — make it better
Architect Magazine
From Feb. 3: For all the problems with the inherent racism in architecture that I laid out in my previous blog, I love walking into an architecture studio at a university. Wandering around our open spaces at the architecture school where I teach, Virginia Tech, seeing the messy desks filled with laptops perched on wads of paper with half-built models towering over them while small groups of students and faculty gather around the walls to discuss what, at first glance, are incomprehensible sections gives me a sense of design happening in the here and now, as exploration, experimentation and sometimes just fun.

These 8 real structures inspired the castles in Disney films
Architectural Digest
From Aug. 4: You might know that many Disney films are based on fairytales. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs comes from the Brothers Grimm classic and Sleeping Beauty by Charles Perrault was the basis for the film of the same name. But a princess is nothing without her castle, so have you ever wondered what the architecture in Disney films is based on?

This 520-foot-long bridge is actually a flood-proof museum
Fast Company
From Aug. 17: As climate change intensifies extreme weather, floods are becoming more frequent and more severe. This has produced a wild variety of flood-proof structures, from floating office buildings that can rise and fall with the tide to buildings that function as dams.
