What drives the gap between projects that meet ambitious sustainability targets and those that don’t? As we head into day one of the Northeast Embodied Carbon Summit at the Boston Society for Architecture, we’re looking again at the results of a 2022 survey by Elaine Hoffman, AIA, LEED AP, CPHC, Lori Ferriss, AIA, PE, Alejandra Menchaca, and Erik Olsen that sought to answer this question. One take-away (and it’s no spoiler): client commitment is a crucial element of success. Read more about the survey at the link below and stay tuned for a reissued survey in coming months. We’ll see you at the Summit! #aecindustry #sustainabledesign #highperformancedesign #embodiedcarbon #NECS2024 #BSAAIA #BostonSocietyforArchitecture

Design was a tool used to create racial disparities, but it can also be the tool used to dismantle those inequities and bring about a more just and equitable future. Gensler's Lisa Cholmondeley, Jason Pugh, NOMAC, AIA, AICP, LEED AP, and Roger S. Smith share more about designing for racial equity with a people-first approach: https://lnkd.in/euvcvQp3

In the second part of Archinect In-Depth: Licensure, we chart the origins of licensure in the United States. We explore how a combination of safety concerns, technological advances, and insecurity among architects over their own relevance led to the protection of the title 'architect,' legislation which remains in force in every jurisdiction of the United States today.

Chris Fogarty’s latest piece in Building Design tackles a pressing issue in contemporary architecture: the rise of what he terms “fast casual architecture” – a wave of uniform, uninspired housing developments reshaping cities across the US. Chris highlights the challenges architects face as they contend with tight budgets, building codes, and local government restrictions, all of which funnel design choices into predictable, unremarkable forms. In the article, Chris explores how the typical “4-over-1” or “5-over-2” timber-framed housing project, with its repetitive façades and limited architectural ambition, has become a standard across the US. This style, he explains, emerged from changes in building codes and zoning requirements, allowing larger wood-framed buildings to be quickly and cheaply constructed. The result? Developments that look strikingly similar regardless of region – built to satisfy budgets, not to inspire. Chris calls for architects to push back against these limitations by creating thoughtful, innovative alternatives within these constraints. His insights underscore the importance of architects’ civic role in influencing the built environment, even in the face of bureaucratic and budgetary hurdles. He encourages the profession to reimagine solutions for these project types, which account for much of today’s new multi-family housing, to deliver buildings that reflect creativity and context rather than cost-cutting alone. This article is essential reading for anyone in the industry dealing with the challenges of cost-constrained housing development. It provides a thought-provoking perspective on how architects can navigate constraints and still produce designs that inspire and elevate. https://lnkd.in/ejzcM9CB #architecture #housing Fogarty Finger
