This year marks the 10th anniversary of the MoMA/P.S.1 Young Architects Program, run by New York’s Museum of Modern Art and the P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center. The program invites emerging architects to create a temporary outdoor landscape in P.S.1’s concrete courtyard in Queens, home to its Warm Up summer music series. According to Barry Bergdoll, MoMA’s chief curator of architecture and design, the program often acts “as a barometer” of research trends among young designers.

As Economy Sank, Skyscrapers Soared Ever Higher

Although 2008 brought a financial crisis that stretched unemployment rolls and slowed production lines across the globe, it was a superlative year for skyscrapers. According to a recent study by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH), more tall buildings—and taller ones—were completed in 2008 than ever before. The council expects 2009 to be another record year. Photo courtesy Kohn Pedersen Fox The Shanghai World Financial Center, by KPF, was completed last year.

Image courtesy Peter Morris Proponents of green buildings have a long list of persuasive arguments they can use to convince clients and developers that green is the way to go: Build green, and your employees will be healthier, happier, and more productive! Build green, and you will use less water and energy, benefit your local environment, and promote global environmental responsibility! Build green, and you will save money over the long term! But with U.S. economy in shambles, the question looms: How will the recession affect the green-building market? RECORD put the question to Peter Morris, principal of the construction

Is the Green-Building Market Recession-Proof?

Over the last decade, the green building industry has risen on the tide of a culture-wide trend toward sustainability, and many in the architecture profession believe it will continue to prosper even as the U.S. falls deeper into a recession. “I think there’s a very compelling argument that the economic environment we’re going into right now will only enhance the value of doing green,” says Guy Geier, FAIA, senior partner of FXFOWLE.

Landscape Will Redefine New Area in Shenzhen

For the large-scale redevelopment of Longgang Centre and Longcheng Square in Shenzhen, the United-Kingdom-based design collective Groundlab is turning the typical planning process upside-down. Rather than adhere to the top-down approach taken by “big bureaucrats sitting at tables with big markers,” Groundlab is working from the bottom up, explains Eva Castro, a Groundlab partner and director of the Architectural Association’s Landscape Urbanism (AALU) masters program. “Instead of mapping [sites], which is a known hierarchical way of lifting up all the information contained within a territory,” says Castro, Groundlab chooses to “lift up systems” of particular interest. In their plan for
