This week our friends at Cemrock are hard at work creating rockwork paths and ledges for the upcoming Snow Leopard habitat @SFZoo. The rockwork is designed for the leopards to jump, perch and nap for maximum feline enjoyment and wellness. Stay tuned for the “after” photo!

Totally agree with the premise behind this @LATimes story. “The time to reassess our built world is now, not after the next catastrophe.” latimes.com/entertainment-ar…

Commentary: Past pandemics changed the design of cities. Six ways COVID-19 could do the same

Sign-us up for the resistance! At both @Roundhouseone and @MKthink1, we believe #architects should be making the world a better, more beautiful place, not just lining their pockets. @newrepublic newrepublic.com/article/1568…

To come back to work in a safe and healthy way, we need to put the science and data in #architecture and design. Only when we can observe and quantify how people actually use the space, can we adapt/adjust our models and plans. bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco…

Viewpoint: When we do return to work, the workplace will look very different

Just as 9/11 changed the way architecture approaches security, COVID-19 will change how architecture approaches health.
