150 ARCHITECTURAL RECORD OCTOBER 2023 WHAT ARE THE CURRENT TRENDS IN INTERIOR DESIGN? EDUCATIONAL-ADVERTISEMENT CONTINUING EDUCATION WASHROOM DESIGN Every commercial, institutional, and industrial building needs one or (usually) more washrooms. Architects and interior designers recognize that the facade of a building, the landscape, the entryway, the lobby, etc., are noticed once or twice a day by occupants of the building. However, the most used or frequented part of a building besides the primary activity areas (work areas, classrooms, etc.) is the washroom. Although they are often seen as non-revenue generating parts of a building, washrooms can make a considerable difference in how people perceive the building both as a pleasant place to be (or not) and for the value of rent. Hence, they should receive as much, if not more design attention as other areas of the building. Recognizing the significance that restrooms can garner in all building types, there are several key interior design trends and concepts to consider. • Design for Appearance: The overall design concept of a building often carries through to the washrooms. Toilet partitions make one of the biggest visual and material impacts and come in several material options such as powder-coated steel, stainless steel, solid plastic, plastic laminate, and phenolic. Each has its strengths and weaknesses in terms of design options as well as cleanliness and durability for different situations. Similarly, washroom accessories come with material and appearance choices. Type 304 stainless steel is the standard for the washroom industry but that is not always consistent with an overall design intent. At least one manufacturer has introduced a line of matte black finished accessories which often blend in better with a particular design scheme. • Design for Privacy: There is a heightened awareness of the need for privacy in restrooms. It is important to note that privacy has always been important; it is just that more people seem to be giving it the appropriate attention it deserves. For many people, there is simply a need to feel safe which can cause public restrooms to bring out deep-rooted fears. While some people may be mildly bothered by the thought of using a public washroom, others are paralyzed by the prospect—to the point that they cannot use the washroom while it is occupied by others. Hence, privacy is not an optional attribute for many. things needed for special events. One approach is referred to as targeted wall protection where a specific set of products is used that are designed to absorb impact and protect the underlying portion. By targeting the most vulnerable areas, protection can be added by using corner guard or wall guard products specifically where they are needed. Taking the concept of wall protection further, sheets of rigid wall covering have been used where large surfaces need to be made more durable and easier to clean. Most of these products offered in the U.S. are Class A fire-rated with many choices of product types, finishes, and colors to enhance, rather than detract from, an interior design scheme. For wall areas that need some protection but desire a softer look, resilient, textured wall covering is available. A thicker wall covering with special top coatings makes for a very durable product that is quite cleanable and resilient against stains, markings, and graffiti. From a design standpoint, there are textured wall coverings available in a variety of colors and patterns that can be combined with other wall protection products from a manufacturer for a total coordinated look. • Artwork and Imagery: There is a popular trend to incorporate more imagery and artwork into building interiors. However, the challenge becomes how to do that without it getting deteriorated or damaged while it’s on the walls. Perhaps the best solution is to have high-resolution imagery printed on the back side of a transparent, but durable polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) plastic panel. The panel acts as a protective coating for the artwork/ imagery and the wall behind it as well. It allows for large, oversized images that can be selected by a designer or owner to cover a portion of a wall or an entire surface. Images can include stock or original artwork, photographs, logos, mascot images, or any other type of graphic feature. A growing interior design trend that has been directly related to human health and welfare is the use of biophilia in buildings. Defined literally as a love of living things or a love of nature, biophilic design is a concept focused on increasing occupant connectivity to the natural environment in creative ways. When direct links to the outside aren’t practical or feasible, then the use of large-scale graphics and imagery that portray scenes from nature can be used. Such large-scale, biophilic imagery can be incorporated into an overall interior design strategy in a number of different ways. The first is to use digitally printed art or imagery back printed on clear protective sheets. This technique allows nature scenes to be turned into whole-wall imagery or uses large-scale graphics to create inspiring biophilic designs. Along with truly endless design capabilities, this approach also provides high-impact durability to wall surfaces. Since the graphic is back printed on the protective sheet, there is no worry about the image being scratched over time. That means high-resolution photographs, artwork, or any other biophilic graphic can be printed and incorporated onto as large a wall space as a design may call for. All of these materials and others that are used as part of a building interior can be balanced between their visual and physical design aspects and their long-term ability to retain those attributes.

152 ARCHITECTURAL RECORD OCTOBER 2023 WHAT ARE THE CURRENT TRENDS IN INTERIOR DESIGN? EDUCATIONAL-ADVERTISEMENT CONTINUING EDUCATION Fortunately, privacy can be ensured with good design and proper installation of extra tall privacy partitions. Attention needs to be given to uneven floors or changes in wall dimensions during construction which can cause gaps between the doors and pilasters and can even cause locking mechanisms to get compromised if the stalls are installed askew. If there is concern about that happening, there are several options to consider. For example, one manufacturer makes metal partitions that have an integrated privacy system built-in as their standard offering so there is no retrofitting of privacy strips needed. Another good option would be to specify European-style partitions that are defined by extra height on both doors and panels, adjustable pedestals to compensate for uneven floors, superior hardware, and routed edges at sightlines between doors and pilasters that eliminate visibility into the stalls. • Design for Accessibility: Ensuring accessibility for people with every type of physical ability is fundamental and dictated by building codes and ADA civil rights legislation. Therefore, it is important to work with manufacturers of restroom equipment that fully address issues like circulation path, maneuverability, clear floor space, reach ranges, and even door swings among others. If manufacturers of washroom accessories and partitions don’t have the experience to meet these unique needs, specifying products that adhere to the requirements can be a challenge. Altogether, washrooms should be treated as any other space that needs to be designed with selections made by manufacturers that allow for the needed options and choices. FUNCTIONALITY TRENDS While design and appearance is always important, so is the functionality of any interior space. User concerns as well as needs for maintenance and facility management play a large role in the satisfaction of all of the people who use building interiors. The following sections address some of the corresponding functionality aspects of the design elements discussed. Using Aluminum Interior Trim Effectively Since aluminum is highly durable, recyclable, lightweight, and non-combustible, it is a popular and logical choice for interior trim. Extruded aluminum trim avoids and overcomes some of the issues associated with other materials. Wood trim, for example, is easily prone to damage, may not meet fire-resistance requirements in some cases, and is organic, meaning it can promote mold and mildew growth if it gets wet. Painted steel can chip and rust while plastic interior trim is not known for its long-term durability. Aluminum interior trim is also easier to clean than other materials, usually with a low-profile edge that makes the junction with wall panels easier to clean as well. The inherent durability of extruded aluminum has been proven in countless projects for the protection of the edges of all the materials it is combined with. Aluminum extrusion is a highly versatile metal-forming process that has been used for a wide array of products in construction. Most extruded shapes for architectural use are fabricated from 6063 aluminum alloy, with magnesium and silicon as the alloying elements. Type 6063-T5 Aluminum, commonly referred to as the architectural alloy, has a very smooth surface and is the best alloy suited for anodizing applications. The T5 designation indicates it has been artificially aged and moderately heat-treated. Extruded aluminum products are readily available and are designed to be used with standard products such as 5/8-inch-½” thick panels. Extruded aluminum is also a very sustainable material since it is usually made up of a significant amount of recycled material. Commonly, the aluminum used in buildings contains 75-100 percent postindustrial and post-consumer content. That means extruded aluminum trim can contribute to LEED points for buildings seeking certification or green building status. Specifically, aluminum interior trim products can earn or contribute to credits in categories MR 4.1 and MR 4.2. These credits require a minimum percentage of the value of the building materials to be recycled. Since there may be a lot of linear feet of such aluminum trim, the contribution can be significant. When specifying aluminum trim, it is important to coordinate the material attributes with the profile shapes being used. Specifically, profiles can include reveals that are recessed by the depth of the wall panels or moldings, bases, and aluminum millwork pieces which may be recessed or protruded. There are also corner pieces that can match the style of other profiles, be a traditional edge, or have an expressive rounded shape. In some cases, a two-piece trim system can be called for to help with harder-to-install situations or greater durability. Specialty pieces are also available that address acoustical concerns or fire resistance rating requirements.

154 ARCHITECTURAL RECORD OCTOBER 2023 CONTINUING EDUCATION Growing Good Homes A nationwide housing crisis has led to an urgent need for more housing. In response, architects and the building industry are looking for innovative solutions to quickly build more affordable multifamily structures, mixed-use developments, and single-family homes. Key to addressing the housing crisis is a creative, diverse design approach that supports the health, safety, and well-being of those most impacted by the crisis: low-income workers, the houseless, people of color, the elderly, and, increasingly, the middle-class. At the same time, the construction industry faces a grim reality—that the building industry is a significant contributor to the emissions of the greenhouse gases that impact climate change.

AIA COURSE #K2308U and how wood’s low-carbon benefits and innovative, flexible applications can help to mitigate climate change. LIGHT-FRAME WOOD CONSTRUCTION AND CREATIVE HOUSING SOLUTIONS The current housing crisis in the United States is a complex issue with no single solution. One major factor in the crisis is a housing shortage. The U.S. has a deficit of 3.8 million housing units,1 according to a 2021 report by economists at Freddie Mac. The government-sponsored purchaser of mortgage-backed securities claims the shortage is driven by a 40-year collapse in the construction of homes smaller than 1,400 square feet.2 Up for Growth, a national policy network focused on housing equity, released a 2022 report that came to the same conclusion3 using data on the total demand for housing and the total supply of available, habitable units. Timber Lofts in Milwaukee. A direct reflection of its historic, yet trendsetting, locale, Milwaukee’s first mass timber building, Timber Lofts, is an adaptive reuse project that combines a 130-year-old warehouse renovation with new construction on an adjacent parcel.16 EDUCATIONAL-ADVERTISEMENT
155 EDUCATIONAL-ADVERTISEMENT GROWING GOOD HOMES CONTINUING EDUCATION As the demand for housing exceeds the supply, the cost of housing increases, making it harder for low- and moderate-income households to afford a place to live. In areas where the housing shortage is particularly acute, affordable housing options may become even scarcer, because landlords and property owners can charge higher rents and sell their properties for more money. This trend causes a ripple effect in which affordable housing becomes even more difficult to find and the problem of houselessness and housing insecurity becomes more widespread. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) sets the standard of housing affordability at 30% of household income,4 though that metric has come under scrutiny5 for not addressing complexities enough. Within the housing crisis issue, there are two main issues when we discuss “affordable” housing. First, there is “affordable housing” which is a housing type specifically designated for qualified low-income people. Second, there is the broader issue of “affordability,” which, in this case, has to do with low housing stock and high prices making housing less affordable to many people, in general. In other words, one problem is that the lack of housing is impacting those whose household incomes are at or below 30% of their area’s median income6—and even when they qualify for subsidized housing, their ability to find a home is still limited by supply. Another problem is that many middle-income Americans who once paid less than 30% of their income on housing are now among those paying 30% or more7 because income has not caught up with rent or mortgage costs. Currently, the median U.S. household income is $67,521.8 In June 2022, the median asking rent in the U.S. rose above $2,000.9 That amount, according to the HUD definition, is only “affordable” to households earning at least $80,000 per year. Besides having a major impact on lowand middle-income Americans, the rise of housing costs and low supply of units is disproportionately affecting communities of color.10 Persistent racial disparities in economic stability11 and wealth position people of color at a disadvantage. And because they are more likely to experience discrimination in the rental market, including being charged higher rents or being denied access to housing altogether, a housing crisis only perpetuates the disparities. The rising housing costs also contribute to gentrification, which impacts low-income neighborhoods, leading to the displacement of long-time residents, including people of color. Gentrification often leads to the loss of cultural and social ties that communities of color have built over generations. One reason for the shortage can be attributed to the 2007 housing crash, which hit the construction industry hard, putting small home builders out of business and rattling the survivors. The industry has only recently begun to recover in a way that reflects a pre-bubble pace of construction. According to Harvard University’s 2022 edition of its annual State of the Nation’s Housing report, a decade of underbuilding has created a backlog for housing so large that it could take a decade or more of record-level homebuilding to increase affordability. One challenge is that a lot of new construction is being priced at the upper end of the market, not at the middle or lower end of the market where it is needed most. Another problem is that some onceaffordable housing is aging out of subsidy programs, including some that was built with U.S. Department of Agriculture grants in the 1960s, which is sometimes the only affordable housing option remaining in more rural areas. And in most cases, it’s the elderly, people of color, and people on the edge of houselessness that will suffer the impacts most. Meanwhile, strong demand and low supply have increased housing prices. In March 2022, home price appreciation was at 20.6%.12 In addition, those who can afford to buy have sometimes been bidding 30% above the asking price.13 The Pew Research Institute reports that those skyrocketing costs have outpaced income for both lowand moderate-income people.14 For lowincome people, even when properties accept tenant-based rental assistance, the housing itself may not be affordable in the current market. For moderate-income people with student debt or new millennial parents who formed families over the pandemic, the housing deficit and income-housing cost gap are causing strain. The Institute’s 2021 survey reported that 70% of Americans believe young adults today have a harder time buying a home than their parents did.15 The lack of affordable housing supply and the income-housing gap being experienced by middle-income households have created an urgent need for housing that is affordable to a broad range of people. As organizations and governments seek new policies to address the issue of housing affordability, the architecture, engineering, and construction industry must consider designs and materials that can help offer solutions. Those solutions must result in diverse housing options that support the broad range of people affected by housing affordability issues. Adaptive reuse, multifamily and multi-use projects, and sustainable designs can all contribute to closing the housing shortage gap and providing affordable space. In addition, technologies such as modular construction can help both reduce costs and timelines, so that projects go up faster, while still supporting sustainability goals and the health, safety, and well-being of occupants. In this course, we will focus on lightframe wood and mass timber construction as one piece of the puzzle in addressing the housing crisis. Light-Frame Wood and Mass Timber Construction Light-frame wood construction is a popular building method that uses dimensional lumber, typically made from softwoods like pine, spruce, and fir, to create the structural frame of a building. Wood is an abundant resource in North America, and because tradespeople are familiar with the materials and methods of wood construction, labor for light-frame construction projects can be cost-effective.

157 CONTINUING EDUCATION BIM and Communication R iding the cutting edge of technology can be a daunting and formidable challenge for architects, especially when it requires change within the organization. However, the advantages of mastering innovation can provide both a competitive advantage and an improved workflow. Such is the case with Building Information Modeling (BIM) software. Modern BIM applications create a virtual model of a building, incorporating detailed information about its physical and functional characteristics as well as information about materials, systems, and components. Cutting-edge technology in design software does more than liberate the architect from traditional design tools, it also enhances the design process for the client.

A Rehearsal on Legacy with Zaha Hadid Cincinnati Through January 28, 2024 An exhibition at the Contemporary Arts Center, looks at the legacy of the late architect as a “point of departure full of possibilities and reflections” rather than presenting an overview. Alongside a selection of paintings and ephemera by Hadid is a host of newly commissioned works in a diverse set of media including sculpture, textiles, sound, and video, plus installations and performance. The exhibition uses Hadid’s distinct mode of architectural thinking as a starting point that opens a range of evolving concepts, questions, and practice. Participating artists include musician Khyam Allami, sculptor Rand Abdul Jabbar, and architects Hamed Bukhamseen and Ali Ismail Karimi. For more, see contemporaryartscenter.org. Generation Proxima: Emerging Environmental Practices in Portuguese Architecture New York Through March 23, 2024 This exhibit at the Center for Architecture provides an overview of emerging architectural practices in Portugal through an environmental lens. Work by the seven highlighted firms—Artéria, Colectivo Warehouse, Gorvell, Nuno Pimenta, Oficina Pedrez, OODA, and Ponto Atelier—responds to environmental challenges by exploring new materials and construction methods, using fewer resources, and reintroducing nature as a guiding design principle. The exhibition builds on curator Pedro Gadanho’s recently published book, Climax Change!, which discusses how the climate crisis will impact architectural practice.

How to Build a Low Carbon Home London Through March 31, 2024 The Design Museum presents an exhibition that showcases the ancient building materials of wood, stone, and straw as keys to a lowcarbon future. Models, samples, tools, and photographs from contemporary architecture and engineering firms Material Cultures, Waugh Thistleton, Groupwork, and Webb Yates take the visitor through the journey of these materials, from fields, forests, and quarries to building sites, demonstrating how radically rethinking the fundamentals can be just as ecologically valuable as experimental new inventions.

SNAPSHOT 164 ARCHITECTURAL RECORD OCTOBER 2023 PHOTOGRAPHY: © ERIC STAUDENMAIER Greening the site was integral to the design of Flor Lofts, by Koning Eizenberg Architecture (KEA), for the nonprofit Skid Row Housing Trust along a virtually treeless stretch of downtown Los Angeles. To provide an affordable, healthy environment for a formerly homeless population struggling with such challenges as mental illness and substance abuse, KEA designed a six-story structure that’s U-shaped in plan, with 98 studio apartments and a manager’s residence, plus supportive services, massed around a leafy courtyard. Key circulation elements, including con necting bridges and a fire stair, remain outdoors in this mild climate, promoting social interaction, exercise, security, and cost savings. Sarah Amelar
