1,000 birds crashed into Philadelphia buildings overnight. No one knows why
On a single day, for reasons that can’t be fully explained, more than 1,000 birds crashed into buildings in Philadelphia and fell to their deaths. The blame falls at least partly on the buildings themselves, and the mass death event highlights a widespread problem with the way buildings are designed and built.
Overnight on October 2, between 1,000 and 1,500 birds hit buildings in just a three-and-a-half-block radius. According to an article in the Philadelphia Inquirer, the number was far higher than on a typical night, and no one can explain exactly why.

Why Businesses Need More Diversity And How Leaders Can Make Workplace Equality A Reality
“Nothing about us, without us, is for us.”
Against the backdrop of the 1960s Civil Rights Movement, Steven Lewis grew up watching his father lead a Black-led architecture firm in New York City—something almost unheard of back then.
Even now, less than 8% of registered architects identify as a minority while 40% of Americans identify as such. Through his father’s work, Steven gained a rare perspective on why urban planning projects designed by those from similar backgrounds as the people they’re built for create stronger communities. He also saw how encouraging diversity at work and beyond is better for business and our collective futures.

How to Study Architecture and Become an Architect
PROFESSIONAL ARCHITECTS say there is something marvelous about imagining a structure, putting that idea on paper or into a computer and then converting that vision into a reality.
"Most buildings are not temporary structures; they're usually around for tens if not hundreds of years," Marc Teer – a licensed architect who is the founder and CEO of Black Spectacles, a Chicago-based organization that helps aspiring architects obtain their licensure – wrote in an email. "Knowing that your work has a long legacy is a rewarding thing."
