IN THIS WEEK’S FRIDAY5

The winners of ArchDaily’s Building of the Year Awards were announced this week. This unique contest has proved to be the largest architecture prize centered around people’s opinion, as the finalists were crowdsourced via nomination, then selected by the site’s readers. More than 95,000 votes were gathered over just 20 days, and this year’s celebrated projects fall into 15 total categories. They highlight a wide range of interventions, typologies, scale, material, and locations that are a “mere reflection of the vast oureach of the profession.” From Singapore to Marrakech, and high-profile figures to newcomers, there are many incredible works to be celebrated and admired.

The Edison is a multi-storied office park that features a creative office campus, which will be built in two phases. Phase I was completed recently with 165,000 square feet of Class A office space featuring high ceilings, large windows, indoor and outdoor collaboration areas, and 24/7 access. An additional 5,000-square-foot clubhouse will have a fitness center, meeting space, and a cafe. For this project, MillerClapperton fabricated 1,937 square feet of Metal Composite Material and 1,055 square feet of 16-gauge steel.

Architecture, both old and new, has been defining places for centuries. New is not necessarily better, but when these two worlds do collide, the results can be truly incredible. While it’s not typical, there are times when architects decide to build in or atop the original foundation rather than around or in place of the original structure. This week, Architectural Digest shares examples of eleven such occasions when modern and historic architecture have come together.

You’ve heard the saying “the only constant in life is change” and nowhere is that more evident than in our cities, but not only the major cities. Change is happening all around us; in cities big and small, from urban to suburban, and it goes beyond the recent expansions of mixed-use developments. There are fundamental shifts happening about how or why we develop. We look at three strategies that are trending in urban development: Innovation Districts, Blue Zones and EcoDistricts.
