  • United, They Sit
    Craig Kellogg - 09/01/2009
    Gender and sexuality studies. Latino studies. American studies. Each sounds like an embattled militia in some academic guerilla war. However, those fields and several more peacefully coexist in New York University's Department of Social and Cultural Analysis, and Lewis.Tsurumaki.Lewis managed to accommodate all that diversity in a single 16,000-square-foot loft in Greenwich Village.

  • Doing Good and Doing Well
    Craig Kellogg - 10/01/2009
    Brad Pitt would seem to be a patron with money to burn. After Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, Pitt phoned a number of architects he admired and asked for help with prototype houses for displaced Ninth Ward residents. There was a catch, though—no one would earn a cent. Cradle to Cradle eco evangelist William McDonough, who advised Pitt on ground rules for his Make It Right Foundation Ne... More
  • Applied Science
    Edie Cohen - 10/01/2009
    The Lab Gastropub on the University of Southern California campus represents big news for two Los Angeles institutions. One is USC itself, which is moving away from cafeteria-style dining halls, toward venues that look like they belong in the private sector. The other is AC Martin, a 103-year-old architecture firm with a nascent interiors division that's now completed three food-service commiss... More
  • Child's Play
    Raul Barreneche - 10/01/2009
    From 1873 until the 1990's, a cluster of redbrick buildings in gritty Montmartre was the epicenter of death in Paris. Today, the municipal mortuary, renovated by Atelier Novembre, is among Europe's biggest artists-in-residence complexes, christened 104 Cent Quatre after its location at 104 Rue d'Aubervilliers. More

  • Big Man on Campus
    Nicholas Tamarin - 08/01/2009

    Heatherwick Studio designed the Aberystwyth Arts Centre at Aberystwyth University in Wales, eight small buildings nestled among the pine, oak, and birch trees. Seven of the eight 850-square-foot structures contain two identical studios; the eighth one is a single. More
  • In the Shadow of Versailles
    Seth Sherwood - 08/01/2009
    Talk about a French paradox. For decades, half of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Versailles—a prestigious school of fine arts, founded in the late 18th century near the famous château—languished in a charmless 1950's concrete annex at complete odds with the lovely things created inside it. More
  • Walk with Me
    Cassie Walker - 08/01/2009
    Joseph Rosa sidles up to the security guard standing next to Patricia Urquiola's felt-flowered Antibodi chaise longue. "No one has touched anything, have they?" he asks in a voice that sounds parental, not just curatorial. Who can blame him? The curator of architecture and design at the Art Institute of Chicago, Rosa worked with Renzo Piano Building Workshop to fashion this corner of the Modern... More
