AZURE  |  September 2020
The Workspace Issue
It’s time for a reboot. As the world continues to grapple with the ongoing consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, architecture and design standards are being re-evaluated, with fresh paradigms being conceived to address future needs. In the September issue of Azure, we canvass a who’s who of industry experts for their takes on what’s next for workspaces, airports, schools and more. Among the highlights: visionary thinker Carlo Ratti on the potential resurgence of suburbia, acclaimed interior designer Adam Tihany on hospitality solutions, Talitha Liu and Lexi Tsien of New York studio Soft-Firm on the future of offices, and Canadian architect Paul Sapounzi on how to make schools more versatile.
The issue’s featured interiors are equally forward-looking: Outside Quito, Ecuador, Diez + Muller’s multi-use live-work complex fosters a strong connection to nature while showcasing the benefits of working close to home. A satellite office by the multidisciplinary Toronto studio Uufie for a Japanese tech firm, meanwhile, combines high function with bold details to eye-catching effect. And a Mexican residence by Brooklyn- and Tijuana-based Studiohuerta serves as a model of both austere beauty and progressive building practices.
Plus, architect Rand Elliot realizes an evocative new arts venue in Oklahoma City, Note Design Studio revives both a heritage building and the Swedish Grace aesthetic to create a co-working space in London, and Spanish studio MUT Design discusses the benefits of staying small.
