As a civic leader, I’m excited to initiate a program in partnership with NYCOBA NOMA and The Center for Community Alternatives introducing architecture, engineering, and construction careers to young people living in at risk communities.
Proud of our NYC Youth Services team for representing CCA on “Leveraging Design to Rebuild.” Patrick Stephens, Rhamgurav Robinson, and Youth Leader Kevin shared lived experience on mentorship, restorative practices, and creating real pathways into Architecture.
Today, Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced his administration’s commitment to advancing Just Home, a first-of-its-kind housing initiative to serve formerly incarcerated New Yorkers with complex medical needs on the campus of NYC Health + Hospitals/Jacobi. The 100% affordable housing project will create 83 new apartments in an underutilized building on the Bronx hospital grounds.
We are deeply grateful that the new mayoral administration is showing its strong support for the Just Home project at Jacobi Hospital. The City Council’s overwhelming approval late last year was a crucial step toward a more compassionate and equitable city, and this administration’s commitment to follow through ensures we can move forward.
We offer our sincerest thanks to @NYCMayor Mamdani, @NYCHealthSystem, and @NYCHousing for their partnership and support.

This 42-storey skyscraper is set to be constructed on the site of a former Soviet military headquarter building in Georgia's capital Tbilisi. Designed by @ZHA_News, the tower is intended as a "vertical extension of Tbilisi's new Central Park that incorporates 36 hectares of parklands,"
The Cityzen Tower will feature homes, office space and leisure amenities, and rise as part of the new Cityzen development in Tbilisi's Saburtalo district. Its site was formerly the military headquarters of Soviet forces in central and south Caucasus.
In a statement, Zaha Hadid Architects said: "Informed by the rolling hills intersected with river valleys that wind through the undulating cityscape of Tbilisi, Cityzen Tower’s design echoes its context at the intersection of the city’s urbanism and its natural environments."
Construction works on the tower are due to complete in 2028.

I have always enjoyed the façade of this residence building in Jersey City. Taking the time to appreciate the materiality and the haptic properties.

Twitter: Porto Novo, Benin is the site of 20th century architecture by formerly enslaved Afro-Brazilians—referred to as Agudas. They returned with distinct cultural identities which was reflected in their hybridized architecture, most notably the Great Mosque (1935).
Vernon Mwamuka (1955-2001) was Zimbabwe’s first Black architect and an advocate for post-independence development to be designed by Africans. His public and private works revitalized their surroundings and established institutional resources in service of the Zimbabwean people.
