Michael Anderson, AIA-NOMA walks the walk n talks the talk while also manning a solid architectural practice. The entrepreneurs road is NOT for the faint of heart. What can we collectively or individually do to assist these businesses that are the catalyst for job creation? Pay on time! Cut out the red tape that slows the flow! Stop misinformation from flowing; be transparent about process! Allocate funds based on needs not cookie cutter processes that are antiquated! Hold the bigger pockets feet to the fire as you do entrepreneurs…yeah, I can go on n on cause I’m at the table. I see unnecessary duress because the order takers are not decision makers or influencers so progress is impeded. We can do better in working with our entrepreneurs so they can be leaders in their sector n the community they serve. #inclusiveleadership #entreprenuers #businessinBlack
Anderson Barker Architects served as the executive architect for the Plaza and Retail Buildings and the Pedestrian Bridge for the new Intuit Dome. I am proud of my role and the teamwork with City Design Studio in this significant project. Working as the associate architect to AECOM, it is exciting to see our work featured in the New York Times article, highlighting contributions from seven artists, including Glenn Kaino and Charles Gains. This project was a collaborative effort with AECOM, City Design Studio, Walter Hood, HLB, and Walker Consultants. Read the article here. https://lnkd.in/ecCVF-UZ

From blueprint dreamers to industry titans, architects turned leaders are the master builders of tomorrow's skylines. They don't just design structures; they sculpt legacies, shaping cities and inspiring generations with every beam and facade. With vision as their compass and innovation as their tool, they construct not just buildings, but bridges between imagination and reality. So here's to the architects who dared to dream big and built their way to the top, proving that with creativity and determination, the sky's not the limit—it's just the beginning.

We need clearer policies on circular economy and Ecocel (Ireland) Could play bigger role in job creation and fossil free insulation in this space like many European Countries.
The Thursday long read - Home from home Few architects are tasked with knocking their old family home, but for John Morehead, once this difficult decision was made, it was a chance to create a future-proofed new passive house that embraces its stunning natural surroundings and exhibits remarkable attention to detail. https://lnkd.in/e_rAqBdF

Every now and again you attend an event that reminds you of why you do what you do and what architecture is supposed to be about. For me this is sharing stories and connecting people who want to make change, and spaces that can facilitate a difference. HomeGrown Plus's recent panel event 'SUSTAINABILITY: The impact on the Global South, is this the elephant in the room?' organised by Neil Pinder, was one of these conversations, where the panel challenged one another and the audience pushed for accountability. The discussion centred around what the term 'sustainability' means today; the difference between 'experiencing' and 'understanding'; the exploitation of resources and the drastic implications of these, and the positioning of the Global South and Global North. Speaker panel was made up of: - Neal Shasore, Head of School at The London School of Architecture - Noris Obijiaku, Part I Architectural Assistant and Digital Content Creator - Dr. Harriet Harriss, Educator, Writer and Architect - Chrissa Stamatopoulou, Architect at Grimshaw - Katie Fisher, Architect at CARD Projects - Chris Williamson, RIBA Elect and Founding Partner at Weston Williamson + Partners Host - Jasmin Yeo, Project Assistant at Jan Kattein Architects Summary: Be human before you think about being a 'professional'. And, as one closing question by Architecture Student Stella F. reminded everyone, in a backdrop of negative impact and challenges around the world, ask yourself what is 'the joy' that drives you in your own mission to better the built environment.

Re imagining Spaces of Remembrance As architects, we're tasked with designing spaces that not only serve a functional purpose but also resonate with the emotional and cultural dimensions of human experience. In my latest article, I delve into the profound relationship between architecture and spaces associated with death. We often view places like crematoriums through a lens of avoidance and fear, stemming from societal attitudes towards death. But what if we could transform these spaces to celebrate life rather than focus solely on its end? This article explores how architecture can transcend traditional boundaries, creating environments that facilitate healing and closure, honoring the deceased while assisting the bereaved in their journey through grief. By integrating cultural, historical, and emotional considerations, architects can craft spaces that dignify remembrance and foster a more humane approach to bidding farewell. This is more than design; it's about redefining the narrative around death and remembrance. Let's embark on this journey of thoughtful and sustainable architecture together. Your thoughts and insights are invaluable as we explore these uncharted territories. Article link: https://lnkd.in/gziFTs3z

Restore, retrofit, or restart? Architects grapple with more than just owners’ wish lists in a vacuum. We begin with a place. Existing places involve sunk costs – embodied energy and human memories, prior intent stamped into matter. “We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us,” was Churchill’s famous phrase. Thus context is inescapable, whether anchor to the faithful, springboard for improvisation, or point of departure. In this issue we revisit the past: restorations, retrofits and infill projects that embody the range of responses to that which came before.
