I was a judge at this year's AJ100 awards and was knocked-out by Stephanie Kyle from Maber who we gave a special award to, among many other things Stephanie has researched + written neurodiversity design guides... architectsjournal.co.uk/news…

.@Arch2030 hopes that its new CARE tool will "dramatically streamline the process, enabling owners, communities, and design teams to quickly quantify the carbon benefits—and understand the value of reuse." bit.ly/3KKHFVV

The stereotype is true, architects are kind of control freaks. But there are some very real reasons why some of the seemingly small things we get worked up about actually do matter. One of them is "scaling drawings." Do not do that!! But why? 🧵👇

The Walgreens at 1601 W North Avenue, designed by Stanley Tigerman, is threatened by a new Moody Church/Fern Hill development. Alderman Brian Hopkins called the site a “blank canvass”—but Post-Modern architectural heritage is not blank! In 2022 we’ll work to protect more of it!

Who said it: mayor or out-of-town developer? "These silos are Buffalo's monuments. Those are *our* monuments. I'm sick and tired of people taking advantage of Buffalo and taking the magnificent architecture the city has and destroying it. Not on my watch."buffalonews.com/news/local/j…

Another lost. @profwiley told me today of the Nov. 14 death of Richard Dozier, a multitalented architect, prof (Yale, Morgan, FAMU), Tuskegee dean, activist, & historian. His "The Black Architectural Experience in America" is an excellent, concise synthesis across centuries. 1/3

An Italianate house in Alton Illinois, probably built in the 1860's. For decades it was home to Burke-Fine funeral parlor, and had a literal mummy in a closet, "Deaf Bill", free to visit for anyone. 🤦‍♂️Thankfully he had a proper burial in 1996 after 80+ years.

Words matter. It’s essential that new money for physical and human infrastructure be called what it is—INVESTMENT, not “spending,” which is pejorative and imprecise.
