		<description><![CDATA[NYU recently announced that it would reduce the size of its proposed expansion by almost 20% in an attempt to overcome the surrounding community&#8217;s strong opposition to the plan. By reducing the development&#8217;s size, it hopes to win approval of the Community Board and the Department of City Planning who will determine if a zoning variance should be granted. NYU faces a unique challenge in traditional campus planning since its campus is spread around Greenwich Village, occupies a short stretch of First Avenue, has an outpost in Abu Dhabi, and has recently taken over Polytechnic University in Brooklyn.

		<description><![CDATA[Ludwig Mies van der Rohe was a German-American architect. He is widely regarded as one of the pioneers of modern architecture. His work can be seen in Europe as well as in the United States where he emigrated to in 1938. One of his early projects is a multi-family apartment house at the Weissenhofsiedlung in Stuttgart, Germany. The Weissenhofsiedlung (Weissenhof Settlement) is a housing estate built for an exhibition in 1927.  Besides Mies van der Rohe, other internationally renowned architects such as Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius, Peter Behrens contributed projects to the exhibition. The architectural style that was seen at &#8230; <a href="http://www.lociarchitecture.com/archives/1438">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Besides my penchant for architecture and anything of the sort, I have always had a fascination with aviation. Civil aviation to be more precise. I like to fly, and it is often the best part of any trip that I take. Whether it is the plane, the view at 36,000 feet or the bustle of an airport, I enjoy this facet of our society. For anyone who knows me, these experiences become the more tranquil parts of my life. More recently, I began to have a curiosity about the economic dystopia occurring in the European Union. I like to keep &#8230; <a href="http://www.lociarchitecture.com/archives/1419">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; In this past Sunday&#8217;s New York Times Real Estate section there was an article titled &#8220;Everybody Inhale&#8221; describing the challenges that our city faces with the expected surge in population over the next couple of decades. However, it is a rich irony that planners sit over beers in a Brooklyn bar contemplating how Manhattan should grow larger and taller with nary a mention of the city&#8217;s other four boroughs. This sadly supports a long held cultural view that New York City is solely defined by Manhattan.

		<description><![CDATA[Last night, the team went out on the first of our (hopefully) regular bowling nights. We have been talking about this for a while in the office. We finally found a night that Emily wasn’t studying and before Ed’s baby is born that we could all go out together. Dave showed up to work yesterday quite sick and didn’t end up coming out; we really did miss him as we had all been looking forward to not only a fun night out, but some friendly competition with the boss. We also couldn’t help joking that his sickness was psychosomatic as &#8230; <a href="http://www.lociarchitecture.com/archives/1306">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Francis Kéré lecture hosted by the Architectural League of New York on February 9th gave me a thought about the complexity of architecture. Francis Kéré&#8217;s work in Burkina Faso is extraordinary for its social impact, use of local resources and pureness of aesthetic. It is also extraordinary how simple and transparent his work is. Mainly centered in his home village of Gando, he provides new school facilities and teacher housing for the community. Born to a father who was chief of the village and given the opportunity to study in Germany, Kéré is able to blend Western architectural thought &#8230; <a href="http://www.lociarchitecture.com/archives/1295">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Three years ago, we started what we believed was a small interior renovation of a penthouse apartment downtown. As the project developed, the scope increased significantly; a second phase was added with a new glass enclosed stair, bedroom addition, and rooftop terrace. For the past several weeks everyone has made an incredible push to complete the interiors in time for the client&#8217;s arrival. The family spent their first night in the apartment last week. Towards the end, we were in the apartment every day and the site was overflowing with different trades. It is reminiscent of the joke about how &#8230; <a href="http://www.lociarchitecture.com/archives/1256">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I moved to Brooklyn in 1988, I noticed something strange – when telling my neighbors that I had a position at a firm in Manhattan, the inevitable response would be along the lines of, “Oh, so you work in the city?” I was confused since it implied that I was living outside of the city and the urban credentials that I was cultivating were not completely authentic. Little did I know that when I lived on the Upper West Side in 1983-84, and later on the Lower East Side, I had occupied a privileged position. Manhattan was the star &#8230; <a href="http://www.lociarchitecture.com/archives/1125">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, Loci Architecture unveiled an updated and expanded web site. It is a part of greater consideration for who and what Loci Architecture represents. This is an effort to improve how our philosophy is brought forth to others. For many companies, teams, and individuals, the web site is intended to go beyond the physical, or every day, world. Web sites operate continuously, without interruption, reaching distant audiences and carrying a global presence. As such, it is a completely distinct world – a digital world. One achievable with technology and poised with the limitless possibility of our imagination.
