IN THIS WEEK’S FRIDAY5

“Few holidays exist with the sole purpose of confronting a global crisis, but Earth Day, created in 1970, has persisted. Founded by Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson, as a day to educate the population about environmental issues, April 22 has since been adopted as a global celebration. And over the past few years, with an uptick in destructive wildfires, floods, and tornadoes, the need to take extra care of our planet has become more poignant than ever. Luckily, some of the world’s most renowned architects are taking action against climate change with stylish designs that boast net-zero emissions.

A net-zero emissions building is extremely energy-efficient, as it produces enough carbon-free renewable energy to be self-sufficient. And these creatives, with their freshly debuted sustainable buildings around the world, are setting a new gold standard when it comes to net-zero emissions architecture. From San Diego to Copenhagen, the environmentally conscious structures making waves across the world stage are the perfect way to ring in Earth Day, this year.”

AdventHealth broke ground on an ambulatory surgery center earlier this year in Daytona Beach. The three-story, 60,000-square-foot facility will provide a range of procedures including cardiac, general surgery, orthopedics and other specialties. The building will also contain four operating rooms and two catherization labs, as well as the medical office home for two specialty groups of physicians.

Recommendation: Ezra Stoller: A Photographic History of Modern American Architecture
Reviewed By: Architectural Digest

Renowned architectural photographer Ezra Stoller enjoyed a more-than-50-year career during which he captured some of the country’s most important modernist structures. Well known for creating images nearly as iconic as the building they depict, he was also the first recipient to receive a Gold Medal for Photography from the American Institute of Architects. “In a new book Ezra Stoller: A Photographic History of Modern Architecture, architect and architecture writer Pierluigi Serraino dives into the photographer’s vast archive, showcasing 450 images, some well-known, other rarely published.” Click below to discover some of the most impactful images features in the book.
