NCARB is studying how technology and shifts in practice could impact the future of licensure


In the span of 25 years, the profession has transitioned from paper-and-pencil drafting to Building Information Modeling (BIM). While no one technology will completely alter the architect’s role,...three technologies will have the greatest impact on the profession: generative design, computational analysis, and automation.



Established in 2017, NCARB's Futures Collaborative seeks to explore challenges and opportunities facing the architecture profession. It is composed of leading architects, experts in emerging technologies, and architectural licensing board members. For the past two years, the collaborative has been exploring how emerging trends in technology and practice will influence the future of licensure and the architect's role. 

"Code compliance—previously considered one of the most important roles of an architect—is also being automated through BIM," NCARB writes, concluding that "technology has the potential to fully automate functions related to health and safety." This could result in the architects of the future focusing more time on aspects of welfare. 

In the end, NCARB still needs to determine what "an architecture license of the future" will look like and what responsibilities will accompany it. The Futures Collaborative is still in the midst of its research phase. After further progr...

Wood Urbanism

Resim
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.
