Bjarke Ingels: the BIG-time architect with designs on the entire planet
Bjarke Ingels, Danish founder of the architectural practice BIG (short for Bjarke Ingels Group), bridles at the suggestion that he is megalomaniac. “I made a mistake at the dawn of time when I named my office BIG,” he tells me, speaking from the converted car ferry in the port of Copenhagen that is one of his homes. “It felt sweet when we started off in Denmark. Now it means we always get re-interpreted as megalomaniacs.”

Climate change is threatening your company’s building. Insurance won’t be enough to protect it
As the impacts of climate change become more extreme and widespread, one of the world’s largest commercial property insurers has a message for building owners: Insurance can’t save you.
From businesses located in flood zones to property at risk from wildfire or sea level rise, the physical infrastructure holding up many companies is increasingly vulnerable to extreme weather and events driven by the changing climate.

Chicago architecture in 2020: In a year like no other, anxiety soared about the future of downtown Chicago, but so did new skyscrapers
Ten days after the Great Chicago Fire destroyed 18,000 buildings and left about 90,000 people homeless, architect John M. Van Osdel set up shop in the Nixon Block, a downtown building that had escaped relatively unscathed. He started drawing plans for new buildings — a sign of hope, although a cynic might interpret it as craven opportunism.
However one views it, Van Osdel’s move — detailed in the illuminating new book “Chicago’s Great Fire” by Northwestern University’s Carl Smith — resonates today as the COVID-19 pandemic presents the latest test of Chicago’s resilience. Now, as nearly 150 years before, the city has responded by doing what it has always done — pushing forward.

Into the Heart of the Atrium Hotel
If you’re craning your neck as severely when you step inside a building as you did outside it, you might be in an atrium hotel, an intensely American structure for sleep, conferences, cocktails, and much more. These are facilities built around a massive central chamber stretching a dozen or several dozen stories into the sky; at the lobby level, you’ll find bars, restaurants, gardens, live birds, and maybe even a boat or two.
We don’t build them much anymore, but Americans invented, perfected and exported this unique building style to the world (where it continues to prosper). Birthed in brash excess, atrium hotels were first seen as too gaudy by the modernist architectural establishment and as too profligate by penny-pinching chain hoteliers. To varying observers, they suggest everything from Disney to dystopia. But in their heyday, these buildings promised — and delivered — a spectacle like no other.

The case for cookie-cutter buildings
The way buildings get built is wreaking havoc on the climate. Building materials and construction account for 11% of global carbon dioxide emissions, and that doesn’t include the amount of energy they use once they’re built and occupied.
To make buildings more economical and environmentally sustainable, architect John Klein believes they need to be more replicable. From bathrooms to stairwells to structural components, many building parts are more cookie cutter than work of art; not every element has to be built from scratch on the construction site. With a more standard set of components, Klein argues, buildings can be built faster, using materials that reduce or even sequester carbon.

Foster + Partners withdraws from Architects Declare
Practice founder and chairman Norman Foster said the UK’s largest practice was withdrawing from the movement because of ideological differences over the architects’ work in the aviation sector.
‘Since our founding in 1967, we have pioneered a green agenda and believe that aviation, like any other sector, needs the most sustainable infrastructure to fulfil its purpose. Unlike Architects Declare, we are committed to address that need,’ he said.
‘We believe that the hallmark of our age, and the future of our globally connected world, is mobility. Mobility of people, goods and information across boundaries.

Architect’s anonymous donation inspires
Despite some gains, ethnically diverse individuals are still significantly underrepresented in architecture. Expanding the profession’s outreach and support to the next generation is one of the most urgent and important steps we can take to provide underrepresented students and communities the opportunities they deserve to develop their talents.
Architects are stepping up to make a difference – including a generous donor who wishes to remain anonymous. A FAIA Emeritus, this benefactor worked with the Architects Foundation earlier this year to identify the best way to make an impact. Based on that research, he is now donating $15,000 to each of five university programs.
