Our Principal Lesley Aron Schmerzler AIA at the The American Institute of Architects (AIA) 2024 Tennessee Conference! The theme of this year’s conference was “Grounding.” Through this motif, the event aimed to explore both architecture’s physical relationship to material flows and resources within ecological systems, as well as architecture’s intangible relationship to history, memory, and lesser-acknowledged cultural contexts. The 3-day conference covered a variety of topics within design and development through thought-provoking discussions led by speakers such as Principal Shannon Nichol, FASLA, PLA, LEED AP of GGN, Professor Kiel Moe, FAIA, FAAR of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Co-Founders Eric Höweler, FAIA, LEED AP and J. Meejin Yoon, AIA FAAR of Höweler+Yoon Höweler+Yoon Architecture, LLP, and more. #AIA #Architecture #Design #NYC #Tennessee #LEED #FAIA #DesignExcellence #ModernArchitecture #InnovativeArchitecture

🚀✨ Transforming the Skyline: The Electric Elevator by Elisha Otis (1861) changed the way we build our cities! 🏙️🔝 Before this invention, skyscrapers were merely a dream. Otis’s safety elevator made it possible to reach new heights in urban architecture, reshaping our living and working environments. Let’s celebrate the brilliance that paved the way for modern engineering and the iconic structures we see today! 🙌🔧 #Innovators #SkylineTransformation #UrbanArchitecture #ElishaOtis #EngineeringMarvels #InventorsLegacy

On that rainy bank holiday Monday past - instead of getting out and enjoying the city, I stayed in and crunched some data on the AJ Small Projects Awards. Don't feel bad for me - I enjoy doing this kind of thing! Having pitched often for this award with various clients, it is useful to know some stats about the spread of projects that are selected - as there is about a 1/10 chance of hitting the shortlist. Half the battle with award submissions is having a good feeling whether you are likely to be shortlisted and knowing the odds. One thing that came up here - and I suspect it may be the case for all architectural award schemes across the country - is just how few studios in the North of England and the Midlands are submitting entries and getting shortlisted. Why are smaller projects outside of London, Southern England, and Scotland not finding an audience through award shortlists and press articles? This is actually an open question to Architects’ Journal and other awards organisers. Frances Williams - any thoughts? How can we make it better? #architecture #awards

Happy National Left Handers Day! According to a Harvard study, architects (and attorneys) are more likely to be left-handed than any other profession—no wonder these creative minds design the spaces we love! So, LinkedIn network, let me know: Are you a leftie? #NationalLeftHandersDay #Architecture #Architects #LeftHanded #AECMarketing

We’re delighted to share that Morris+Company’s CEO and Head of Architecture, Joe Morris, will be speaking at the SHARE Serbia 2024 International Architecture Forum, 26th November, in Belgrade! Joe’s talk, “Urban Continuity: Crafting a Modern Legacy at 15 Norton Folgate, London,” delves into the rich story of this transformative project—a celebration of historical and sensitive reuse. 15 Norton Folgate embodies the philosophy of building with thought, weaving new life into a historic fabric. By balancing heritage conservation with innovative design, this project illustrates how architecture can respectfully adapt and reimagine spaces for contemporary use, creating places that honour the past while meeting the needs of the present. This conversation resonates deeply with @Morris+Company’s vision and values that architecture should be a dialogue between people, place and planet. If you’re attending the conference, we’d love to hear your thoughts—drop us a message or come say hello after the talk! We would be pleased to connect, exchange ideas, and continue shaping places that inspire and endure.   #MorrisandCompany #ShareSerbia #Architecture #15NortonFolgate #UrbanContinuity #ArchitecturalLegacy #Retrofit #AdaptiveReuse
