Last week we looked at kitchen cooktop inspiration so it's only fitting that this week we look at the other half of the puzzle: the oft-forgotten details of the range hood! A range hood is the unsung hero of the cooktop, a sometimes hidden workhorse that makes cooking a pleasant experience instead of smokey, smelly, and face-melting. This week - let's look at range hood inspiration ideas that give that hardy vent the attention it deserves.

Early results from the 2021 “Multifamily Amenities Survey” from MULTIFAMILY Design+Construction show that the majority of respondents ­– multifamily developers, apartment operators, architects, contractors, and others in the apartment/condominium sector – either modified their amenities, added new ones, implemented amenity innovations, or took out some amenities from their customary offerings – all in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Last year I studied 163 architecture websites (crazy, I know!). I studied them because I was tired of hearing architects say: “My website doesn’t matter… I get all my projects from referrals or word-of-mouth”. But in today’s Google-driven, economic-uncertain, pandemic-plagued world, nothing could be further from the truth. Architecture practice websites do matter.

Visualizing Architecture

FEBRUARY 27, 2021

A long time ago, I put together a day to night illustration for my Philly Bridge project. Back then, I had a hard time deciding what kind of scene lighting to go with so I just did both and ended up creating a tutorial around how you could shift an image from daytime to night all in Photoshop. For the MIT project, I again was struggling to decide what time of day to go with so I decided to go with a “Day versus Night” series of images again.

2020 was a challenging year for many businesses, but for Design Scape there was a definite silver lining. We had been on the lookout for our very own premises for ages. Architects have this need to put themselves out there, and work in a setting that tell their clientele what they are all about. In April 2020, at the peak of the South African lockdown, we found just what we were looking for – an historic warehouse premises.

My “studying history with BIM” work goes back many years, but the pivotal moment in terms of public engagement was Project Soane. That was also the thing that got me deeper into the Classical Orders and how to represent them in Revit, having made a start via discussions with Paul Aubin over the preceding year or so. Paul and I tend to have “different but complimentary” approaches, which is great.

Every young child engrossed in building blocks and construction toys will eventually upgrade, moving from bulky bricks to more diverse, nimble Legos to develop ever-more-detailed, expressive systems of preadolescent architecture. In the adult world of urban development, developers and designers are undergoing a similar shift, as modular construction — a building system utilizing pre-assembled pieces made off-site, often in factories — becomes faster and more cost-effective than traditional techn

Sustainability begins with a conversation, and acquiring customer buy-in is entirely dependent on how the conversation is framed. Clients may not see sustainability as a priority out of fear of operational costs and quality. While these are legitimate concerns, it is our responsibility as architects to listen and foster a collaborative culture that answers client issues while also reducing our carbon footprint.

A snowy walk through the streets of Fort Greene, Brooklyn reminds me of my childhood. It has been 17 years since I have lived in a climate that has snowy winters and it is a pleasure waking up to snow blowing past our apartment windows, covering the surrounding rooftops, and accumulating on the streets. Snow transforms the city in many ways. Often overlooked and under appreciated is how it transforms the city’s acoustics.
