The idea of municipal architects in the UK generally conjures a particular era in our minds. The 1960s and 70s were a time of bold public building programmes. But, has the heyday of municipal architecture passed? Holly Lewis looks back to the future for TheMJ on her newest role as Town Architect for London Borough of Hackney where she is supporting the council’s existing in-house design teams in the delivery of an exciting range of programmes and projects. How can we re-invent the town/city architect role for the current local authority climate in 2024? 👀 https://lnkd.in/etV6R5sg #townarchitect #purpose #designchampion #London #Stadsarkitekter

The Virginia General Assembly Building is a beautiful restoration project on which we had the privilege of working and collaborating. Needing to be complementary to the original 1912 structure’s façade, a seamless match of color, finish, and profile alignment was required and critical to the project's success. Our architectural precast was designed to incorporate a large stonework pattern and was jointed to disguise joints and avoid disruptions in the pattern. Reminiscent of the Doric order of Greek architecture, some of the precast panels have architectural features like the guttae that can be found along the edge of various panels. The restoration of this historic piece of governmental architecture demonstrates how architectural precast can be used for new building façades in historic contexts.   Architects: RAMSA | Robert A.M.

Student Work Spotlight: Miguel Alvarez-Gámez & Nathan Rich We are excited to highlight the exceptional work of Miguel Alvarez-Gámez and Nathan Rich, two talented students from the 3rd Year Urban & Architectural Design Studio at Tulane School of Architecture. Their design projects, centered around Urban Resilience in Los Angeles, represent a sophisticated integration of architectural and urban scales, responding to both immediate and long-term challenges in urban planning. Through their work, Miguel and Nathan explore how architectural design can act as a catalyst for the revitalization of urban environments, emphasizing sustainability, resilience, and community impact. Their projects merge complex urban contexts with architectural form, reflecting a deep understanding of how design can shape and transform the urban landscape. These projects not only showcase their design skills but also their commitment to addressing the critical issues of our time—creating spaces that are both environmentally responsible and socially engaging. The focus on Los Angeles, with its unique urban complexities, provides a rich framework for exploring innovative approaches to urban regeneration and resilience. We are proud to see these future leaders in architecture pushing boundaries and contributing fresh perspectives to the field. Congratulations to Miguel and Nathan for their outstanding work! #TuSA #TulaneArch #UrbanResilience #ArchitecturalDesign #ArchitectureStudents #LosAngelesDesign #UrbanDesign
