Bryant Park, New York (my photo) Once again, my weekend obligations preclude me from dedicating time to an original blog post. Thankfully, sharing an excerpt from Bill Kleinsasser ’s self-published textbook SYNTHESIS remains a reliable alternative, one I’m always happy to exercise when I’ve got too much on my plate. With characteristic pithiness in the following excerpt from the 1981 edition of SYNTHESIS, Bill catalogued some of the negative traits found among impoverished built environments and

“Attica! Attica! Attica!” If the only reason you go to the Lincoln Park Zoo is for the Christmas lights display, now there’s another reason: To check out the historic Lion House. Even we have to admit the Lion House was pretty depressing. It smelled bad. It was crowded. It was noisy. And you can’t help but feel bad for the beasts behind the wire waiting for that big litter box in the sky.

When London-based architect Dara Huang is asked about her favourite building in the British capital, she prefers to describe a space; specifically, the arc of Regent Street where the grand facades on either side of the road draw the eye up towards a curved slice of sky. The way in which architecture frames and interacts with negative space is central to Huang’s practice, which consistently explores the relationship between occupied space and the surrounding environment.

Mixing materials and textural finishes is the route to designing an interior that emits warmth and character. ‘It’s painting by numbers!’ I always remember the damning indictment delivered to a stylist by an interiors editor once. It was shorthand for the apparently amateurish matching of colours or materials across a space; taking one accent and slavishly repeating it to tie things together visually.

Glen Urena. Growing up in Queens in the 80s, Glen Urena didn’t have any idea that he wanted to become an architect. In fact, what he wanted to do at the time was play baseball. It was a visit to a school of architecture before he graduated high school that gave Glen his first view of what learning about architecture could be like. He was particularly impressed with what he observed of the studio experience and the collaborative atmosphere that he saw there. .

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.

If you were in the market for a new bull this year, or if you were selling bulls, then 2021 will be a year that you will probably remember for a long time! The price of bulls this year was well above he average of te last 5 years. There is a reason for that. The combination of high cattle prices; seasonal conditions that resulted in high pasture growth; herd rebuilding across the county and overall optimism for agriculture all played a role in driving bull drives.
