The development extends along the waterfront and incorporates landscape parks, mixed-use areas, residential and office buildings, a hotel, recreation facilities, and cultural buildings.

The focal point of the revitalized urban waterfront is the four buildings at the corners of the Urban… Continue

Role of Lighting Designers

Lighting design is perhaps the most important element for any architectural design work. It shapes perception of our environment and stimulates our psychological responses to a space or structure. Every interior and exterior of an area has it's own way of design, which has to go along with the nature of work and practical considerations.

So a good lighting is so essential for any specific area which, actually increases the aesthetic, work productivity, healthy and relaxed atmosphere.… Continue

If you saw the Quantum of Solace Bond movie, what did u think of the design in the beggining?

I am talking about the intricate design that went along with the theme song at the very beginning of the movie? (I uploaded the song on my page if u need another listen)

I though it was AMAZING!!! Especially what they did with the sand and everything!

Any opinions on that?

Just a little musing about a new architecture school in Pennsylvania - how does this work?

I saw this article in "Architect" magazine:

an article by robert campbell...globe correspondent "springfield" A CASE OF LIGHT AND ORDER!

SPRINGFIELD - Should a courthouse be as delightful as a garden pavilion? As white, as bright, as sun-filled?

Isn't a courthouse supposed to celebrate the dignity and discipline of the law by means of architecture that is sober and, well, maybe even a little grim, a little frowning?

A new federal courthouse here breaks all those rules. Designed by the well-known architect Moshe Safdie, who operates out of Somerville and Cambridge, it's one of the most inviting public… Continue

In the News: "Blueprints Found for Auschwitz Camp"

I have often wondered about this.

We know that everything that is built has a design. Whether it's a well-thought-out design, or a design based on a budget alone, there is an idea and most often drawings. Sometimes I look at a really ugly or utilitarian building and think about what the drawings looked like, because if it was a new building, someone most likely drew something. And I had found myself wondering who drew the drawings for the concentration camps, because just as there… Continue

The Incredible Shrinking City

Facing steep population decline, Youngstown, Ohio, is repositioning itself.

When the mills shut down in the 1970s and ’80s, the smokestacks and foundries that symbolized steel belt manufacturing cities gave way to factory shells and rust. First unemployed, workers then began to move away for good. Unlike former steel powerhouses, such… Continue

Food Tower

Dickson Despommier, a professor of public health at Columbia University, hopes to spread his vision for "vertical farms" -- 30-story towers that could feed thousands of people. He created the concept in 1999 with his graduate students, and it has since captured the imagination of architects and various city planners. The following images are artistic renderings of what some of these farms of the future might look like.

1) A vertical farm design modeled after the Capitol Records… Continue

Urbicide – the killing of cities….

As the world has entered a decade within which the majority of the world’s population will live in urban areas, the ‘right to the city’ for the world’s 3.5 billion urbanites has never been a more contested political, social and geopolitical issue. As well as the more familiar debates about migration, multiculturalism, and inequality, the unprecedented scale of global urbanization is also directing intellectual attention in the humanities and social sciences to focus on the role of cities as… Continue

What Not to Build, a new blog

I've started a separate blog on the topic of what not to build as I see many 'ordinary' projects make huge mistakes all too often, or in some cases are just missed opportunities. I hope others join in and share you opinions. http://njbaarchitecture.blogspot.com/

The above image is for my blog: What a Waste. It is an example of a developer who hires a structural engineer to design and build this new building. It looks fine, except… Continue
