Contract Magazine - March 2018 - 14

EDITORIAL

A
Season
of
Change

Spring. It's always a trade-off: lose an hour of sleep in exchange
for more daylight hours. Fortunately, the promise of spring also brings
transformation and the invigorating colors of nature. Throughout
the A&D community, and specifically here at Contract, we're also
experiencing a metamorphosis inspired by new beginnings.
After nearly seven years as editor in chief, John Czarnecki has
stepped down to accept a new role with our friends at IIDA, as deputy
director and senior vice president. With a background in architecture
and design, John brought a unique perspective to his role at Contract,
and during his tenure he helped to evolve the brand, diversifying
our editorial advisory board, directing programming for the Contract
Design Forum, and managing our awards programs. We wish him
well as he will undoubtedly continue to spring forward.
Contract now enters into an exciting transitional period,
a new beginning for the 58-year-old magazine. With this issue
we welcome our new managing editor, Lauren Volker, who comes
to us most recently from another Emerald Expositions publication,
Impressions, where she was managing editor; before that she was
associate editor at sister publication design:retail. We look forward
to the fresh approach Lauren will infuse into the pages of Contract
and know that she'll continue to enhance the brand by highlighting
commercial architecture and design projects of the highest caliber.
Given Lauren's experience in retail design, it's fitting that
she joins us for our retail issue, which includes Gensler's design
of the sleek new adidas flagship in midtown Manhattan; a Denver
store with a mountain lodge feel, designed by Lochte Architectural
Group, for luxury leather brand Frye; and a modern, sensory retail
experience, created by Mancini Duffy and Brazilian artist Muti
Randolph, for Brazilian footwear brand Melissa's New York outpost.
At a time when some see doom and gloom in the retail
industry forecast, the creative, high-tech, and truly impressive design
projects featured in this issue offer bright spots on the horizon.

According to statistics compiled by GlobalShop, the retail trade
show that takes place at the end of the month (March 27-29)
at Chicago's McCormick Place, "There were actually more new stores
opened in 2017 than in 2016, and based on robust retail sales increases
in 2017, the year ahead looks much more aggressive in the channel."
A report by global research firm IHL Group, titled "Debunking the Retail
Apocalypse," supports this claim. To wit, former online-only outfits
like Amazon and Bonobos are launching brick-and-mortar operations,
there seems to be a rebirth of the suburban shopping center, and
urban retail hubs are developing to satisfy the needs of millennials
and baby boomers who are migrating to downtown areas. All of these
retail trends are good for the A&D industry.
In a time of flux, which often brings uncertainty, it's important
to remember that change is necessary for evolution-in our industry
and beyond. We here at Contract are on the cusp of more exciting
changes, so stay tuned to see what's in store.
Best,
Karen M Donaghy
