Antje Steinmuller, Chair and Professor of Architecture at Taubman College, is featured in a November 20 interview with Metropolis Magazine, a top architecture and design publication. The interview, titled “Antje Steinmuller Wants to Get the Housing Question Right,” focuses on her transition to Ann Arbor from California, how the housing crisis affects different parts of the country, and how Steinmuller’s research addresses innovative housing typologies. Steinmuller started at Taubman College in July 2024, previously serving as chair of undergraduate architecture at California College of the Arts in San Francisco. Steinmuller is quoted saying,"It is our responsibility to promote things that are beneficial to the climate, to create housing that caters to people's needs, and to look at how AI technologies can really serve us. I’m really hoping to intensify the collaborations that we have, and should have, right in Ann Arbor and Detroit and other areas. Detroit especially is a place where we can learn a lot, from the struggles that have happened and the strategies that have worked." Read the full story: https://myumi.ch/Rm4dy

Dearest fellow rulers, I’ll be honest, and feel free to share your thoughts. Many of us entered architecture school because we wanted to blend creativity with science, seeking a career where our innovative spirit could thrive. But the reality? Sleepless nights, constant stress, rejections, and the undervaluation of our work can sometimes make us question it all. But what if all that hard work is preparing us for something more? What if our foundation in architecture is the key to unlocking limitless possibilities? The Legacy Initiative—a platform designed to redefine architecture not just as a draftsman’s role, but as a creative powerhouse that allows you to design impactful solutions across any sector. Through stories and memories, we preach this message. We embrace an Africanfuturistic approach, but more importantly, everything we do is rooted in God’s wisdom and guidance. This is a movement for those who believe in designing for man, his spirit, and his environment. Join us on this journey. Now, let’s talk about what we’ve been preparing for months—the Legacy Showcase. In collaboration with Covenant University, Hebron Startup Lab, and the Society of Architecture Students, we’re almost ready to launch an event tailored for those who want to become God-Creatives. Here’s what to expect: 1) Legacy Exhibition: Showcasing selected works from God-Creatives, alongside opportunities to network with top firms and companies for business and career growth. 2) Design Talks Symposium: A panel discussion led by God-Creatives on architecture, design, and revolution. 3) Premiere of The Architect’s Memoir and Launch of the Legacy Journal: A short film documenting the memories of the graduating class, along with the introduction of our new journal. Early bird tickets will be released soon. Respectfully, D.C. Wisdom The King's Son #thedesignrevolution #godcreatives #africanfuturism #thegoldstandard

Tulane University Alum Efren Lopez has been a member of the AIA NEW MEXICO for three years, serving as the Young Architects Forum director. This year, he was selected for the Young Architect Award in recognition of his leadership in the community, service to the profession and his professional achievement in design. "I hope to make architecture not just a place where people of all identities belong, but where all people are equipped to thrive," says Efren.

As we celebrate World Architecture Day 2024 with the theme of Empowering the next generation to participate in urban design, I cannot help but reflect on my motivation behind my PhD research on Complex Urban Integration. My research explores how architects can address the socio-spatial integration of migrants, tackling some of the most pressing challenges our cities face today. Architecture isn’t just about designing buildings—it’s about shaping cities that are sustainable, inclusive, and equitable. Through my research, I aim to contribute to the knowledge that helps marginalised communities find their place in urban environments, ensuring our future cities are designed for everyone. #WorldArchitectureDay #UrbanIntegration #PhDResearch #InclusiveCities #SustainableArchitecture #ArchitectsForChange

“We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us.” - Winston Churchill, 1943 The link between intentional design and society is linear – because while architecture shapes our students, it’s the students that shape our future. And campuses worldwide are sparing no detail, specifying materials for both functionality and aesthetics. These elements breathe life into universities, building community and encouraging academic success. Don’t neglect the details.

From bringing the nonhuman world to life through myth to engaging with the wild animals that exist at our cities’ edges and designing multifaceted sensory experiences, this year’s crop of METROPOLIS Future100 architecture and design students are challenging and inspiring us to make room for more meaningful interactions with the larger world around us. Three speculative design projects from Sophie Pacelko, Kirah Cahill, and Jessica Wilsey reorient humanity by suggesting new ways to embrace the interconnectedness of things. https://lnkd.in/eWNqCNm9

Topic: _Spaces of Interaction: The Intersection of Architecture and Social Sciences_ Talk by : Ar. Azna Parveen Architect, Urban Designer Abstract Architecture is a tangible manifestation of time, informed by the economic, cultural and political contexts within which it emerges. Shaped further by functionalities, environmental adaptations and aesthetic trends, it serves as a lens to gain insights into the values, capabilities and aspirations of societies globally. The interdisciplinary dialogue between architecture and social sciences is thus vital in understanding our built environments, their past, present and futures. This talk delves into understanding the symbiotic relationship between the disciplines of architecture and social sciences, exploring how architectural theory and practice intersect with social science methodologies. It emphasizes on the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to spatial explorations to provide a more cohesive and deeper understanding of communities and culture.

"It's no secret that design education is very expensive. The return on investment does not equal what you put into it, which means you are either getting people who are over-leveraging themselves and taking on debt to get a degree that they may not ever be able to pay back, or you are only accessible to members of a class that can afford that level of education." Erin discusses why architecture education could benefit from a closer look at equity and outcomes.
