Architecture 101: On March 6, BBB welcomed 30 students from ELLIS Preparatory Academy, a Bronx-based high school offering a college- and career-focused curriculum for English Language Learners. Students explored the architecture profession and workplace culture through an immersive office tour, a career preparation workshop, and mentorship sessions focused on resume writing and interview skills. Through collaborations like this, BBB aims to expand awareness of architecture and design careers, build confidence among underrepresented youth, and help open doors to future opportunities in the built environment and beyond. Thanks for visiting, ELLIS!

Seaport Steward: 45 years after completing a master plan for the South Street Seaport Historic District, BBB and the South Street Seaport Museum have finished restoring the last untouched building, the A.A. Thomson & Co. Warehouse. The Architect's Newspaper goes inside this new event and exhibition space and dives into BBB’s long history at the Seaport: the newly restored Thomson Warehouse (1-3); the 1980 master plan (image 4); Cannon’s Walk (5), a public promenade and retail center from 1983; the Bogardus Building (6), also from 1983, a contemporary reinterpretation of cast-iron architecture; and the South Street Seaport Museum building in the restored Schermerhorn Row (7-9), which opened in 1997. Read about BBB’s role in the Seaport, plus a sneak peek of the exhibition Maritime City, designed by Marvel and opening on March 17: https://lnkd.in/eamTEfdm 📷: (1-3) South Street Seaport Museum, (4) Beyer Blinder Belle, (5, 7-9) Pete Aaron/OTTO Archive (6) Paul Warchol

A Campus Plan Comes to Life: We’re thrilled to see construction progress on BBB’s master plan for The American University in Cairo! The visionary Campus 2026 project will expand AUC with a new Technology, Research and Innovation Lab (TRI-Lab), NextGen Student Living and Learning Spaces, and an Extended Education Hub. BBB’s master plan, completed in 2021, was designed to prepare AUC for an increasingly residential, interdisciplinary, innovative, and community-oriented future. It was grounded in robust engagement with the campus community and data gathered through online polls, surveys, and mapping tools, and incorporated the work of students from AUC’s Department of Architecture.
