IN THIS WEEK’S FRIDAY5

“The first Monday of October of every year marks World Architecture Day and World Habitat Day. Celebrated simultaneously, they both seek to shed light on the built environment and its challenges, taking on a different theme with each new edition. This year, through its World Architecture Day, the UIA is focusing on “Architecture for well-being”, in line with the designation of 2022 as the UIA Year of Design for Health in buildings and cities. In parallel, the UN’s World Habitat Day, is centered on “Mind the Gap. Leave No One and Place Behind”, looking at the problem of growing inequality and challenges in cities and human settlements, due to the triple ‘C’ crises – COVID-19, climate and conflict.”

Below, ArchDaily shares a selection of articles under the title of “Design for Well-Being and Promoting Spaces for Everyone”, which discuss topics from wellness as a priority in living spaces and transforming the existing into healthier spaces, among others. If you’re interested in learning more about World Architecture Day, you can read how countries around the world, who kept their own national celebrations, observe the day here.

The Atlanta Braves have officially clinched their fifth straight NL East title win and will kick-off the post-season NL Division Series from Atlanta next week. The best part about being based in Atlanta is having this great team in our backyard or The Battery to be specific and there are no shortage of fans here at MillerClapperton. As the Braves get ready to go up against the Cardinals or Phillies at Truist Park, keep an eye out for some of MillerClapperton’s projects. We are very proud to have so many of our projects located at The Battery, such as the Georgia Power Pavilion, Omni Hotel, Comcast Building, and the Roxy Theatre. Whether you’ll be watching the game in person, from the green space, or watching from home, we hope you spot some of these great projects while cheering on the Braves. GO BRAVES!

The 2022/23 International High-Rise Award (IHA) finalists combine exemplary sustainability, outer shape, and internal use of space, while taking into consideration the social aspects of a high-rise building. Additional criteria are innovative engineering and cost-effectiveness. The award, which is bestowed every two years, is aimed at architects and developers whose buildings are at least 100 meters high and have been completed in the past two years. For this year’s contest, five buildings were selected from Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America from 34 nominated buildings.

Earlier this week was International Coffee Day and if you’ve been reading Friday5 for a while, you know how much we love our coffee at MillerClapperton. At the office, we’re fortunate to enjoy coffee from local roasters in and around Atlanta, and when we’re off, we’re frequenting local cafes and coffee houses. Shops like these often reflect their neighborhoods and the attention to detail that goes into their coffee is matched with unique design elements worthy of adoration. From L.A. to Stonington, Maine, check out a list of the most beautiful coffee shops in every state below.

“What makes a great park? It depends who you ask. For some, the best parks are those that offer respite from the bustle of city life; for others, they are the ones primed for interaction and activity. Fortunately, there are plenty of both to go around. From Trocadéro Gardens to Sitio Roberto Burle Marx, the best parks are, unsurprisingly, most impactful when experienced in person. To find the crème de la crème of parks around the world, AD PRO tapped expert designers for their favorites. These 10 locations have impacted their aesthetics and their ways of thinking about space—and will perhaps change yours as well.”
