“Gensler was 2023’s most active architecture firm, according to an analysis of building filings by The Real Deal. The firm worked in some of the city’s most high-profile office towers, which continue to see demand. It also boasts versatility, with work on health care, hospitality and even massive infrastructure projects.” - The Real Deal       We are proud to once again take the top spot on this annual ranking of top architects in NYC, based on the number of projects filed during 2023. My partner, Joseph Lauro, spoke about how we need to think beyond a building to connect within the urban fabric of a city.   https://lnkd.in/eSF4cXu5

Sustainability is the way for humanity to survive. It is a huge part of the knowledge that has been passed down to us from our ancestors. Adaptive reuse could be the way forward, and equitable distribution of real estate could create an economic balance. This may open opportunity for interdisciplinary dialogue amongst architects, urbanists, economists and sustainability experts. This may result in lesser employment opportunities for architects but more opportunity creation in flipping real estate, relocation agencies and retrofitting experts. This may also witness a shift onto the ecology and landscape design segment. Any thoughts?

In the realm of workspace design, the choices we make can significantly impact our overall well-being. We asked, and you answered.

Ennead Partner, Peter Schubert, FAIA, authored an article "Stop Knocking Down Older Office Buildings. Here’s How to Reuse Them Instead" published in Commercial Observer, where he argues that to successfully reduce our carbon footprint we need more creative approaches to transforming the ordinary building stock that makes up large parts of our cities. He offers three approaches focused on radical mixed-use, vertical campuses, and rethinking residential. In addition to suggesting ways to adapt these buildings for the future, he looks back at the role of the architect in normalizing the unsustainable idea of building obsolescence and the responsibility of architects today to think differently, saying “New construction creates jobs and allows for innovation. But knocking down perfectly functional buildings every 30 to 40 years is a disaster for the environment, and we need a plan — now. Architects helped create this situation, and now we’re ready to help solve it.” To read more about ways to radically repurpose existing buildings, find the full article at the link below. https://lnkd.in/eT24QaZe #ennead #enneadarchitects #architecture #sustainability #adaptivereuse #sustainablearchitecture #nyc #commercialdesign #commercialarchitecture #urbanarchitecture #officebuildings #verticalcampus #radicalreuse
