Coinciding with the two-year anniversary of London’s Design District (@designdistrictlondon) in Greenwich, is the launch of another building at the office complex for creatives designed by Spanish architecture firm @selgascano. Fronted by rounded windows, B1’s unique facade contrasts its neighboring predecessors which are defined by more angular silhouettes. Similar to Canteen, SelgasCano’s first building at the site, B1 features rounded forms and was designed to be looked into and out from. At four stories in height, the office building is in line with its neighbors. Its facade is defined by floor-to-ceiling windows that swell out from the primary elevation. The curved glazing draws in natural light, an important component of the building’s use as a “winter garden”, in addition to a workspace. Link in bio to read more.

“Today, we stand before a new facade, one more for Mexico City,” and one more for LIGA (@ligadf), an independent platform in Mexico City promoting Latin American contemporary architecture. Buenos Aires–based architects Juan Campanini and Josefina Sposito (@popesposito )have transformed LIGA’s facade with a dynamic installation for what is the platform’s 37th exhibition. On the other side: Facade on Dr. Erazo reinterprets Mexico City’s landscape as a fragmented fabric of “recognizable parts,” as opposed to an indivisible and uniform entity, a project description stated.

The productive work of repurposing existing buildings is often some of the most beautiful, well-considered, and environmentally sensitive design emerging today. That exact push-pull is what Ann Arbor, Michigan–based architects PLY+ (@ply_plus) found grace within during the realization of the School at Marygrove (@marygroveschool), an experimental education project resulting from collaboration between the firm, Detroit Public Schools (@detroitk12), and the University of Michigan School of Education (@umicheducation). The adaptive reuse project revitalizes the long-abandoned, historic Immaculata building on the 53-acre campus of what was Marygrove College in northwest Detroit into a colorful and experientially ambitious P-20 program.

Washington is a city of sandstone, marble, and red brick, so the Poplar Grove residence is the last house you’d expect to see in the nation’s capital. Andrew Linn and Jack Becker, principals in the firm @bld.us, eschewed traditional materials and instead clad Linn’s own single-family home in poplar bark, cork, and modified radiata pine. And yet, the material decisions aren’t the most interesting thing about the home. It’s also located in an alley. All of these surprising details come together for the design duo and tell their unique story. Link in bio to read more. Words: Nigel F.

The new Allan & Geraldine Rosenberg Residences by @daniellibeskind opened this week in Freeport, Long Island. This affordable housing is dedicated to disabled, formerly homeless seniors yet doesn’t compromise on design. The architecture defies Cartesian geometrical proclivities.

Designed by Page Southerland Page (@pagethink),the Alief Neighborhood Center opened in January, and is a testament to community design. Despite initial resistance, extensive outreach meetings during the schematic design phase allowed the community to voice their needs and desires: This project had been 30 years in the making. “They were referred to as District F, for forgotten,” Jonas Risén, lead design architect and associate principal at Page, told AN. The first few meetings with community members were met with what he described as “frustrations and grievances for the way things had been handled previously.” The result of these meetings and design schemes is a brand-new 70,000-square-foot community center that looks like it could be at home on a research university campus.  It sits on the site of an older, much smaller community hall. There are now new facilities for a public library branch, new parkland, and health departments, along with a complex for outdoor sports. Lifted above the floodplain in response to post–Hurricane Harvey concerns, the building sits atop an artificial hill, a plinth which conceals a parking garage. Link in bio to read more.

It began its life as a computer chip warehouse facility off of Route 9 in Cold Spring, New York, a small town with a Metro-North train station and a few restaurants on its main street. Magazzino means “warehouse” in Italian, playing off this industrial past of the site, but the Magazzino Italian Art (@magazzino) museum has been committed to refined elegance since it first opened its doors. This week, the museum shows just how far they’ve come with the Robert Olnick Pavilion, the latest addition to their growing campus. Designed by Spanish architects Alberto Campo Baeza (@acampobaeza)and @miguelquismondo , this new pavilion is a stylistic twin to the main concrete form that began the transformation of the highway-adjacent grounds.

Since 2016, @exhibitcolumbus has activated the small eponymous Indiana city, home to about 45,000 people. Since the mid-20th century, it has been regarded as a hotbed of architectural innovation, from iconic and formally exciting structures to experimental ways of living. The exhibition, now in its fourth iteration, offers a platform for architecture’s rising stars to display work alongside established legends. The word on the tip of everyone’s tongue this year at Exhibit Columbus was “community.” The 2023 exposition is called Public by Design which focuses on centering the perspectives of local Columbus residents to inform 11 installations spread throughout the city.
