In London, an experimental building houses two very different types of tenants
A new building in London is taking mixed-use architecture to noisy but surprisingly community-oriented dimensions. Located in the borough of Hackney, the two-tower, 89-unit apartment building has been built directly above a nursery and primary school – making a playground full of screaming school kids and several floors worth of upper-income urban dwellers unlikely neighbors.

Tribune architecture critic Blair Kamin reflects on 28 years of reviewing Chicago’s wonders and blunders, and why such coverage should continue
When I became the Tribune’s architecture critic in 1992, there was no Millennium Park, no Museum Campus and no downtown Riverwalk. Hulking public housing high-rises stood at Cabrini-Green. Sears Tower was still Sears Tower and the world’s tallest building.
Since then, in more than 2,500 stories that have taken me to seven countries, throughout the U.S. and to every corner of Chicago, I have critiqued objects ranging in size from the Illinois license plate (at 6 by 12 inches, a cluttered mess) to the latest world’s tallest building, Dubai’s Burj Khalifa (at 2,717 feet, a surprisingly beautiful behemoth).

Frank Gehry’s bold plan to upgrade the L.A. River seeks to atone for past injustices
In the decades since engineers first blanketed the Los Angeles River with concrete, working-class communities along its armored banks have struggled with blight, poverty and crowding — unintended consequences perhaps of an epic bid to control Mother Nature.
Now, as many of these neighborhoods suffer disproportionately higher rates of infection from COVID-19 — and as the nation seeks to atone for racial and institutional injustices laid bare in the police killing of George Floyd — famed architect Frank Gehry has unveiled a bold plan to transform the river into more than just a concrete flood channel and establish it as an unprecedented system of open space.

Smithsonian abandons $2 billion expansion plan unveiled in 2014
When the Smithsonian introduced a futuristic plan for the 17 acres around its iconic administration building, the National Historic Landmark known as the Castle, officials predicted it would be a game-changer that would remake the structure into a visitor gateway to the storied institution.
Six years later, a new Smithsonian administration has jettisoned the eye-popping elements of the $2 billion design by Danish architect Bjarke Ingels, opting instead for a dramatically downsized version. Set to be presented publicly for the first time this week, the scaled-back plan focuses on the renovation and restoration of the James Renwick-designed Castle and the adjacent Arts and Industries Building (AIB), another National Historic Landmark designed by Adolf Cluss and Paul Schulze.

The Best Architecture Interviews of 2020
One of the most rewarding aspects of working with architecture publications is the possibility of meeting and becoming closer to the experts that are effectively transforming the discipline, either with built projects, research, experiments, theories, or even with works in other fields. In this sense, interviews perform a special role among all the different types of content published every day by ArchDaily, as we can get a closer insight into what some of the most distinguished and promising people have to say about the present and the future of architecture and cities.
