Six finalists compete to be architect for University of Kentucky, College of Design's new home in Reynolds Building


Plans for the University of Kentucky College of Design's relocation to the Reynolds Building moved one step forward. Today, six finalists were chosen to compete to become the National Design Architect that will design the College of Design's new home in the Reynolds Building. 

The University of Kentucky Board of Trustees approved the design phase for rehabilitating the Reynolds Building as the CoD's future home this past February. At 140,000 square feet, the Reynolds Building will allow the college to launch new initiatives, expand their existing programs, and foster new design research and scholarship opportunities. Relocating to the Reynolds Building will also allow the college's programs to be united under the same roof for the first time in its history.

The six finalists are a competitive bunch. They are:

  • The Living 
  • Marlon Blackwell Architects 
  • NADAAA 
  • Oyler Wu Collaborative 
  • Studio Gang 
  • Trahan Architects

Wood Urbanism: From the Molecular to the Territorial Daniel Ibañez, Jane Hutton, Kiel Moe (Editors) Actar Publishers , November 2019 Hardcover | 8 x 10-1/4 inches | 488 pages | English | ISBN: 978-1945150814 | $54.95 PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION : Wood holds unique and timely lessons for urbanization, yet it remains inadequately characterized in architecture, landscape architecture, and urbanism. From under-considered thermal properties to emerging manufacturing possibilities, from changing forestry regimes to larger carbon cycle dynamics, Wood Urbanism explores the unique material and scalar properties of wood, presenting it as a critical material for design today. It brings into conversation scholars and practitioners who focus on wood from a range of perspectives: from the working forest to the mid-rise building to the basic cell. Drawing from the inherent intelligence and depth of multiple disciplines, this book offers a transcalar perspective on the role of wood in cont...

Building a gentrification early warning system with big data

Resim
But what if there were a way to see gentrification long before the coffee shops, condos and Whole Foods appear? What if city planners and neighborhoods had an early warning system that could sniff out the changes just as they begin? [...] neighborhood advocates would have the opportunity to implement policies ranging from reserving affordable housing units to educating residents of their renting rights to helping small businesses negotiate long-term lease extensions. In his NPR piece, astrophysics professor Adam Frank explains how various big data sets, like housing prices, eviction records, census data, or social media usage, can be utilized for "predictive analytics" to detect early onsets of gentrification for specific neighborhoods at an increasingly high resolution — and what significant perils come with it.
