BOOKSHELF: GATHERING
The latest to come from the publishing arm of award-winning
architectural firm Bohlin Cywinski Jackson is Gathering, a collection
of work the firm describes as exemplifying "how architecture has
the power to bring people together by design, allowing them to
engage with one another in new ways, to generate ideas, share their
passions, and build communities." The monograph places focus on
14 of the firm's institutional, civic, and commercial projects and the
overarching belief that it is important for humans to "come together
in exceptional places that foster connection and enhance our sense
of shared community."

FILM SCENE: THE ARCHITECTURE
& DESIGN FILM FESTIVAL
North American audiences have come to rely on the Architecture
& Design Film Festival (ADFF) for an annual experience like no
other-total immersion in international and independent films
highlighting the challenges, opportunities, and life-altering human
experiences of our built and designed world. Around the globe
and in every economic nook of it, architecture and design play vital
roles in our everyday lives, and the 2020 films again bring viewers
to all corners of the design universe.
Among this year's films are Gateways to New York, which focuses
on Swiss structural engineer Othmar H. Ammann, whose illustrious
bridge-building career included the George Washington, Bronx
Whitestone, and Verrazano-Narrows bridges; The New Bauhaus,
which highlights the slow but ultimately transformative influence
of the Chicago-based school started by László Moholy-Nagy in
1937; and The Human Shelter, an investigation into the importance
of how and why humans from all walks of life, in wildly varying
circumstances, create the concept of "home."
