AIA: Blueprint for Better

The issue of climate migration—also called strategic relocation or managed retreat—has become increasingly urgent in the face of extreme weather and rising seas. These migrations can exasperate existing inequities. Our newest article, "How Can Managed Retreat Be Done Equitably?" discusses possible solutions.
 
AIA's Blueprint for Better campaign is a call to action for AIA members, architecture professionals, civic leaders and the public to transform the practice of architecture to achieve a zero-carbon, resilient, healthy, just, equitable future for everyone.

Nonresidential Construction Spending in U.S. Projected to Increase Through 2023
According to the American Institute of Architects, the U.S. nonresidential building sector is expected to see a healthy rebound through next year after failing to recover with the broader economy last year.

The AIA's Consensus Construction Forecast panel -- comprising leading economic forecasters--expects spending on nonresidential building construction to increase by 5.4 percent in 2022, and accelerate to an additional 6.1 percent increase in 2023. With a five percent decline in construction spending on buildings last year, only retail and other commercial, industrial, and health care facilities managed spending increases. This year, only the hotel, religious, and public safety sectors are expected to continue to decline. By 2023, all the major commercial, industrial, and institutional categories are projected to see at least reasonably healthy gains.

Who is the SoFi Stadium Architect?
SoFi Stadium began allowing fans into the site last spring, but Sunday’s Super Bowl LVI, with an expected global viewership of more than 145 million, is in many ways the venue’s true debut. And what a debut it will be.

The 3.1-million-square-foot $5-billion arena has plenty of superlatives attached to it. It’s the largest stadium in the NFL. It’s the league’s first indoor-outdoor stadium. And the stands’ steep vertical pitch allows fans to get startlingly close to the action. Hell, if you bathe in money and can afford one of the field cabanas, you could very well have a defensive lineman land in your beer.

La Guardia Airport is No Longer a Hellscape

Enter La Guardia Airport’s Terminal B from the side door, next to the parking structure, and you walk down a hallway paved with polychrome light. Look up, and you see sunshine flowing through a translucent cityscape affixed to the glass façade and cascading on the floor — an artwork by Sabine Hornig. Alternatively, come in via the front driveway, roll your bag across a wide curbless sidewalk, and you’ll find yourself in a ticketing area that’s clean, bright, airy, and self-explanatory — everything a functional airport should be and La Guardia has not been for decades. Those first impressions — one of character, the other of clarity — combine to express the new building’s ambitions.

Unbuilt Frank Lloyd Wright Houses Brought to Life in 3D

Intrigued by the fact that over half of Frank Lloyd Wright’s works were never built, home project internet company Angi took on an unusual task: to bring to life some of the midcentury American architecture master’s houses using the magic of contemporary 3D design. ‘Remarkably, more than half of Wright’s 1,171 architectural works never took a solid form. While unbuilt Frank Lloyd Wright houses occasionally materialize on the American landscape, 660 of his building designs remain confined to paper,’ says the company.

Chicago’s Bungalows Are Where the City Comes Together      
 
In Chicago, there are plenty of reasons for South Side residents to keep Northsiders at arm’s length. This includes the North Side’s nonsensical lack of numbered streets, opposed baseball fandoms, and the outsized power of the city’s wealthier half — an imbalance that has created one of the most striking geographic divides between rich and poor, white and Black, in American urban life.

But for Chicago historian and native Southsider Shermann “Dilla” Thomas, there’s a quick way for a Northsider to break through this legacy and offer at least one piece of common ground: Say that you live in a bungalow.
