New Cooper Hewitt Show Considers the ‘Road Ahead’ for Cities
The Road Ahead: Reimagining Mobility, a new exhibit at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York, is a meticulously curated survey of the state of the street and where it might be headed.
Helsinki Dedicates “Oodi (Ode)”, Its New Central Library
A land of 100,000 lakes? More aptly and accurately, Finland is a nation of 100 percent literacy, a land of libraries. The country celebrated its 101st year of independence on December 6 by dedicating “Oodi (Ode),” the long-awaited new Helsinki Central Library, designed by the locally based ALA Architects, following their selection through a 2014 international competition that attracted 544 entries.
Review of Proposed Fix for Sinking Millennium Tower Could Take Several Months
San Francisco officials and the city’s team scrutinizing permit applications for shoring the 645-ft-tall Millennium Tower—which has settled 17 in. and tilted 4 in. over more than a decade—say the review will last several months. The fix scheme, likened to putting a bumper jack next to a flat tire, calls for drilling and jacking 52 piles—socketed into bedrock as deep as 250 ft—under the north and west sidewalks. The system would cost less than $100 million and take about 18 months to complete.
Activists Call for Equal Recognition of Architect Doriana Fuksas
Today, activism groups Voices of Women Architects and Rebel Architette launched a petition asking the Rome-based Istituto Nazionale di Architettura (IN/ARCH) to recognize Doriana Fuksas along with her husband and partner Massimiliano Fuksas in the lifetime achievement award he received in late November.

Enter Good Design Is Good Business 2019
The editors of Architectural Record are currently inviting submissions for the 2019 Good Design Is Good Business awards program. Architecture and design is a top priority for leaders of business, government, and industry looking to rebrand, boost productivity, and attract customers. The Good Design Is Good Business (GDGB) awards program honors the architects and clients who best utilize design to achieve such strategic objectives.
Water Garden by Junya Ishigami
A once-open meadow in Japan’s Tochigi Prefecture is now a forest of seemingly countless trees and a maze of ponds. Designed by architect Junya Ishigami, this “water garden” is an addition to Art Biotope, an artists residence and hotel nestled in the town of Nasu, known for sightseeing, hot springs, and ski resorts.
The Ford Foundation’s Renovation Reflects the Future of Its Mission
When a renovation was proposed for the magnificent modernist Ford Foundation in New York, the project was met by cries of concern from die-hard preservationists, whose idea of do-no-harm often seems to be do-not-touch.
Richard Rogers Wins 2019 AIA Gold Medal
The American Institute of Architects (AIA) has named Richard Rogers winner of the 2019 Gold Medal—the organization's highest honor. Born in Florence and raised in London, Rogers attended the Architectural Association School of Architecture, then earned his M.Arch from the Yale School of Architecture.
Holiday Roundup of Architecture Books
Among the many architecture and design books published throughout the year, record receives a number we would like to peruse at leisure or delve into to better understand significant contributions to the discipline.
A Weiss/Manfredi Plan to Revamp a Southwest Florida Arts Center Hit by Irma Gets Underway
When Hurricane Irma slammed into Naples, Florida, in September 2017, the city’s performing and visual arts center, Artis—Naples, had just finalized an ambitious scheme to revamp its 8.5-acre campus. Now, 15 months after the destructive storm, the organization is moving forward with those plans, but not in the order originally envisioned. The first project of the multi-phase, $150-million master plan now entails expanding the complex’s art museum and reskinning it.
2018 World Architecture Festival Concludes, Naming Overall Winners
The 2018 World Architecture Festival in Amsterdam has drawn to a close, naming a slate of overall winners. First held in Barcelona in 2008, the three-day event celebrates projects around the world while raising important issues in the profession. This year’s theme touched on architectural identity.
Snøhetta Unveils New (Old) Vision for Former AT&T Building
Just over a year ago, Snøhetta released plans for its revamp of the former AT&T Building (1984), designed by Philip Johnson and John Burgee. Reaction against the design was strong. Actions to oppose it were swift. And by the summer, the 34-year-old tower was designated a landmark—among the youngest buildings to receive such a designation—thwarting Snøhetta’s vision to replace the rose Stony Creek granite cladding at the base with a scalloped glass curtain wall.
ZOETROPE Opens at the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa
ZOETROPE, a new interactive exhibit housed in a concrete disk-shaped volume outside of the Thomas Heatherwick–designed Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa in Cape Town, South Africa, has the ambitious goal of interpreting how it feels to use electric-powered modes of travel.
Los Angeles Dwelling by Freeland Buck
Taking advantage of Los Angeles zoning that allows two single-family residences to sit on one parcel of real estate, 2017 Vanguard firm FreelandBuck designed Second House to take cues from the Culver City property’s original structure, while also completely departing from it. The angular 1,500-square-foot dwelling presents a study in how to shrewdly carve out living space on a stingy footprint.
Beyond Eye Candy
RECORD, as everyone knows, is an architecture magazine, but, you could argue, it is actually a photography magazine on the topic of architecture. Yes, our editors and contributors report and write extensively on architectural projects and provide deep knowledge about construction, site conditions, materials, and technical particulars. We include drawings of plans, sections, and details.
The Power of Light in Modern Design
Many people are looking for ways to live healthier and happier, and they expect their homes to be part of that quest. As a result, light has been increasingly on the minds of designers and architects. “People want to feel better and live healthier lives,” says Christine Marvin, director of corporate strategy and design at Marvin® Windows and Doors. “Light has a huge impact on how people feel about their home.” Scientific evidence further affirms the reasoning behind the cultural sentiment.

Best Kitchen & Bath Products of 2018
Stainless-steel cabinet and drawer faces on this new kitchen by Amuneal can also be specified in brass, copper, and bronze, with ¼"-thick bronze pulls and a choice of more than 400 patinated finishes. The Gunmetal finish shown here features welded and polished corners on carcasses built from solid ebonized white oak. Options include glass-front upper cabinets and wood or metal organizing inserts such as dividers and trays.
Best Architectural Lighting Products of 2018
Named for its Copenhagen-based designer, Christian Flindt, Louis Poulsen’s circular indoor/outdoor wall fixture appears to float as the glare-free glow it emits from two LEDs tucked behind its fold creates a subtle rim of light around its arc and gently washes down over its face toward the ground. Made of die-cast aluminum, its sculptural moon-like form is offered in 7.9", 11.8", and 15.7" diameters, as well as in Cor-Ten-look and white finishes.
A Look Back at the Work of Several Celebrated Photographers
Architecture exists in the absence of photography, but its vicarious experience through photography is the predominant way we learn about buildings and their unique attributes. Images are mobile; buildings are not. So of course, there is a correlation between the quality of the picture capturing a work of architecture and how the viewer comes to perceive it. Whoever photographs a work of architecture can make or break it, celebrate or condemn it.
Salesforce Transit Center by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects Opens in San Francisco
A grand act of place making, San Francisco’s just-opened Salesforce Transit Center elevates an oft-mundane building type—a mass transit station—with a 5.4-acre public park, one of the largest accessible green roofs in the country. The 1.2 million-square-foot center, designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects, helps to assert a new identity for the city, as a metropolis of distinctly contemporary density and form. It also presents an alluring vision of a sustainable future.
Is Vietnam the New Frontier for Architects?
In Ho Chi Minh City, Carlos Zapata Studio and EE&K (now owned by Perkins Eastman) are working on a 7.5 million-square-foot development dubbed Ma Lang Center. It might have been unthinkable as a place to do business just a few decades ago, when half of the country was at war with the United States. It doesn’t have the resources of China, its booming neighbor to the north. And its communist government might not appeal to citizens from capitalist nations.
Renovated Space Needle Reopens in Seattle
Seattle’s quirky, iconic Space Needle began as a hotel promoter’s doodle. One architect—John Graham Jr.—designed the top, another—Victor Steinbrueck—the base. It was built in a breakneck 13 months. But since the 605-foot-tall Needle’s opening for the 1962 World’s Fair, over 60 million visitors have soaked in its views.
Be Seated
After reading this book by the distinguished landscape architect Laurie Olin, I realized how certain rituals of sharing life in public out of doors have been made comfortable by centuries of design practitioners from antiquity to the present. This is especially so in Paris, where Olin first studied park and café life.
Interview with Adam Greenspan
Keep your eye on Adam Greenspan, design partner at the Berkeley-based PWP Landscape Architecture, founded by the esteemed Peter Walker. Greenspan is just completing two remarkable—and vastly different—projects in which landscape and architecture are inextricably intertwined.
Review of ‘Iconic Vision: John Parkinson, Architect of Los Angeles’
Near the end of writer/director Stephen Gee’s film Iconic Vision: John Parkinson, Architect of Los Angeles—which premiered on PBS SoCal in July and is now airing across the country—narrator John Grunewald says, rather matter of factly, “His name might not be familiar to many Los Angeles citizens, yet John Parkinson and Los Angeles are forever entwined.” That lack of local familiarity is undeniable at the national level.
Thyssenkrupp Test Tower by JAHN with Werner Sobek
Rising over 800 feet in a Medieval town in southwest Germany, ThyssenKrupp Test Tower is difficult to miss. In 2013, the multinational industrial conglomerate needed a facility to experiment with a rope-free high-speed elevator. Architects Helmut Jahn and Werner Sobek (who is also a structural engineer) responded to the call but insisted that the project also enhance its surroundings and provide a public service.
University College Dublin Selects Steven Holl to Design Campus
University College Dublin (UCD) and Malcolm Reading Consultants have announced Steven Holl Architects (SHA) as winners of an international competition to design a new portion of the university’s 330-acre campus. SHA’s scheme for the 60-acre area creates an entrance precinct, organized around a pedestrian walkway, with seven new quadrangles of green space.
Seamus Heaney Meets Architecture
I make my living as an architect, and one of my favorite buildings is a poem. It was constructed in 1966 by Seamus Heaney, and I make periodic return visits to it, and—as with any great work of architecture—I find something new each time. Like the best buildings, it provides a memorable experience that touches all the senses. When Heaney describes “Under my window, a clean rasping sound/ When the spade sinks into gravelly ground,” I can hear the sound of shovel hitting gravel.
Writ in Water by Mark Wallinger and Studio Octopi
Nestled in the meadows of Runnymede, a site-specific installation commissioned by the UK’s National Trust subtly honors events that took place in this lush countryside more than 800 years ago. It was here that feudal barons forced King John to put his seal on the Magna Carta—a document that established principles of individual rights and the rule of law.
Delong House by K/R
If you are an architect with a minimalist approach, it may be hard to find clients equally obsessed with abstraction and austerity in materials and details. Yet Terence Riley, principal of the New York– and Miami–based firm K/R, recently designed a small one-story, one-bedroom cottage in Coconut Grove for someone who might be more minimally minded than he is.
Obituary: Robert Silman, 1935-2018
Robert Silman, the structural engineer who died of cancer at his home in Great Barrington, Massachusetts on Tuesday, August 1, was at his best when masterpieces like Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater needed his help. Silman was a problem solver; 20 years ago, when a section of Fallingwater was found to be drooping seven inches, he developed innovative ways to fix it. He was a team player, who—before implementing his ideas—presented them to colleagues at a public forum.
Interview with Tiffany Brown
Around this time last year, when the 400th African American woman was licensed as an architect in the U.S., designer Tiffany Brown learned she was a finalist for a Knight Arts Challenge grant. A Detroit native and employee of SmithGroupJJR, Brown is a passionate advocate for increasing diversity, focusing her energies on growing the numbers of African American women in the profession. Her initiative, 400 Forward, which won the award—a $50,000 matching grant from the John S. and James L.
Philip Johnson and John Burgee's AT&T Building Receives Landmark Designation
Tuesday morning, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) announced their decision to designate Philip Johnson and John Burgee’s AT&T Building, now known as 550 Madison Avenue, as a landmark. The designation protects the exterior of the building, including the facades of the office tower, annex, and enclosed covered passageway, and notably preserving its rose Stony Creek granite cladding and the broken pediment at its crown.
Hunter's Point South Park by SWA/BALSLEY and WEISS/MANFREDI
There is something surreal about the journey to the fringe of the Hunter’s Point peninsula in Queens, New York. As you walk to the water’s edge from congested boulevards in a labyrinth of new glass towers, the skyline of Midtown Manhattan comes into view over a desert of empty lots waiting for more construction. Just beyond, you discover nearly six acres of lush terrain and meandering trails designed by SWA/BALSLEY and WEISS/MANFREDI that wrap around the borough’s southwestern waterfront tip.
Calls for Equity and Inclusion Echo Long After AIA Conference
In architecture, as in other fields, the #MeToo movement of the past year has prompted the profession to grapple with whispered rumors, deeply rooted biases, and longstanding inequalities, catalyzing a chorus of voices calling to make the field more equitable, and inclusive. And, if the political activity at the 2018 American Institute of Architects (AIA) Conference in New York this June was any indication, advocates are refusing to be ignored any longer.
Longchamp Racecourse by Dominique Perrault Architecture
By the first Sunday in October, the leaves in the Bois de Boulogne, the large, heavily forested park in Paris’s tony 16th arrondissement, begin to turn a beautiful shade of gold. It is on that day that the nearly century-old Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe is held at the Longchamp racecourse along the western edge of the park bordering the Seine.
