This week, we’re sharing projects from Argentina to Ohio, Vietnam, and New York City, with several stops in between. In addition to the projects we cover in detail, we highlight the work that architectural firms share with us every day through Project Gallery, the user-generated portion of the ARCHITECT website. To date, we have over 16,000 projects.

Completed in 2015, the William Eckhardt Research Center at the University of Chicago united the school’s molecular engineering program and physical science research groups under one roof. The national firm HOK designed the project to foster collaboration, including “carefully planned spaces for interaction,” as described in the company’s project description. ARCHITECT recently spoke with HOK Chicago Marketing Director Kimberly Dowdell, AIA, as part of the One year later series, on the changes in the architectural profession in the year following the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis. You can read more about Dowdell’s observations and hope that “the conversations around the power of design as an agent of societal change will evolve” here.
