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

Here is a recent interview with AuthIndia. Discussing craft, materials and design!

We had the good fortune of sharing few of our SJK Architects works with Pritzker Laureate Peter Zumpthor last week while he visited our office. It was heartening to witness this humble soul, a man of few words and his child-like inquisitiveness 🌸 He was eager to know about the design choices we adopt through the creation of a project and what governs those choices and why do we choose to do so? We were short on time but the biggest question I had for Mr. Zumpthor is “How does he manage to bring in sheer beauty, simplicity and empathy in all his works”? I have personally been inspired by his architecture and some of my favourites are the Kolumba Kunstmuseum des Erzbistums Köln Museum at Cologne. His buildings have a beautiful silence that attributes to warmth, a sense of presence, composure, sensuousness and tactility that truly awakens a sensorial experience with a deeper meaning through its utter simplicity & calmness. Bach Comes to Life within the Walls of Peter Zumthor's Bruder Klaus Field Chapel- one of my favourite architectural videos that you must watch by clicking the link below:- Watch this video on ArchDaily https://lnkd.in/dTN-FKgp At SJK Architects, we follow an office culture where each individual shares a video at lunch time and engages others into a dialogue. The above 2 min video was shared a good 10 years ago and I still clearly remember the sheer silence at our lunch table as each SJK mate was thoroughly touched & moved by what spaces can do to human psyche and their well being. #architecture #design #buildingconnections #empathy #compassion #wellbeing #sensorial #buildingfortomorrow #natureinspired #musicislife #tactility

In the architecture and design world, decisions about public spaces and who may be honored in them have often been made by white men. In EMPATHIC DESIGN, design and architecture experts build the essental guide on how to create public spaces for everyone! islandpress.org/empathic

Marking 10 years since our founder and director, Perit Antoine Zammit's pivotal contribution to the Architects' Council of Europe (ACE-CAE), we celebrate a decade of commitment to sustainable architecture. This document, embraced by all European architecture organisations, highlights the unique role architects play in energy-efficient building design and urban regeneration. As we face ongoing environmental challenges, the principles of responsible architecture are more important than ever. Let's continue to lead by example. #sustainablearchitecture #urbanregeneration #responsibledesign

🏛️Daniel Libeskind's quote reveals the soul of architecture! 🌟 It's about bridging the physical and spiritual, bringing harmony to our world. With every material choice, architects express our deepest aspirations. Through design, they turn emotions into tangible structures, uplifting the human spirit. #architectureinspiration #DanielLibeskind #SpiritualDesign
