Just trying to get through the day isn’t enough.

What a great philosophy.

Reclaim Detroit's guide to items you should take and those you should leave from an old home.

Having worked on a major design project at this end of the mall 20 years ago, I can tell you that it will be a challenge, especially since there seems to be no real client.

Representatives from some of the largest Twin Cities developers and architects met Thursday to learn more about what the city of Minneapolis wants for the key downtown parcel.

Another "what were they thinking" detail. So, the primary problem is they tiled over the expansion joint.

Always good to hear from other architects.

TED Talks are one of the easiest ways to gain knowledge quickly from some of the smartest people on the planet, and the field of architecture is no exception...

College friend and architecture colleague Marcia Stemwedel from SM Architecture was the architect on this project. Congratulations!

A first of its kind child care center will soon open on St. Paul's east side, as two early childhood Montessori schools team up with the goal of preserving language.

This looks fun: http://chicagoist.com/2014/10/15/explore_the_citys_off-limits_archit.php

Finally see what's inside Chicago's skyscrapers, repurposed mansions and private clubs.

Some coolness.

Modernism is back in style. And so are its architectural tropes. The cantilever had been used historically in the construction of bridges until 20th century ...

Playing off the mall is a solid idea, but could we have some design please.

More housing is on the way near the Edina shopping center, and other cities are even farther along the curve.
