Rex Heuermann, the man accused of murdering at least seven women on Long Island in what became known as the Gilgo Beach killings, pleaded guilty on Wednesday, bringing a sudden end to a case that took investigators more than a decade to solve. Mr. Heuermann, 62, pleaded guilty to all seven murders, plus an eighth that he had not yet been charged with. He appeared in Suffolk County court at what had been scheduled as a routine hearing before a trial set to start in the fall. Rex Heuermann, the New York architect who was arrested in July 2023 on multiple murder charges while maintaining his innocence, was back in court again this morning, this time pleading guilty to murdering eight women on Long Island. Our initial story about the arrest of the Gilgo Beach serial killer suspect in 2023 resulted in a lively discussion in the comments. In a separate lawsuit in September 2023, Heuermann and his architectural firm, RH Consultants & Associates, were also accused of wage theft.

Quick update on the White House ballroom project: In a decision that was widely expected, the National Capital Planning Commission has approved the controversial $400 million expansion. The commission, chaired by Trump's White House staff secretary Will Scharf, voted to advance the scheme during a scheduled meeting yesterday, following a brief setback in the timeline due to thousands of public comments opposing the design. A final decision was already assumed to take place in early March after the proposal's conceptual and final stages had passed unobjected through the Trump-appointed U.S. Commission of Fine Arts on February 19 but was eventually postponed to this week's April 2 meeting. Previously on Archinect: Architects raise alarm over White House ballroom in NYT deep dive Following further design criticism published in the NYT last week, the National Capital Planning Commission released slightly revised plans ahead of yesterday's meeting, addressing a Shalom Baranes-designed re...

Frank Lloyd Wright’s iconic Fallingwater has reopened to the public following the completion of a three-year conservation initiative. The reopening coincides with the start of the site’s 2026 tour season, marking both its 63rd year of public tours and the 90th anniversary of the house. The $7.5 million preservation project, titled World Heritage Preserved, involved comprehensive work to safeguard the structure, during which scaffolding and protective enclosures surrounded the building. These have now been removed, restoring unobstructed views of the house and its setting. Some minor works remain ongoing and will be carried out overnight or on days when the site is closed to visitors. Wright's scheme will continue to undergo targeted conservation, including masonry repointing at Edgar Kaufmann Sr.’s Terrace, which will remain temporarily closed. Additional painting and window conservation are scheduled for completion in early spring, subject to weather conditions.

If you feel like recent architectural news has been dominated by various Trump musings, it's because it has. The relentless firehose of big announcements, sudden reversals, ongoing lawsuits, and surprising court updates shaping the president's ballroom project, Kennedy Center remake, White House column swap & underground visitor screening center, broader Washington makeover ambitions, D.C. demolition rumors, Dulles Airport overhaul inklings, triumphal arch proposals, style mandates, grant-cutting, and West Wing overhaul plans (haters will say that the latter is an April Fool's joke, but what do we know?) now packs a brand-new topic: his presidential library.

President Trump has floated plans to commission Ye (formerly Kanye West) to overhaul the West Wing of the White House. The move would be the latest in Trump’s controversial alterations to the White House, most notably the demolition of the East Wing for the construction of a new ballroom. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said that Ye would create a “big beautiful ‘West’ Wing,” an apparent pun on the artist’s former name. Trump also used the post to take aim at California Governor Gavin Newsom, incorrectly claiming that Newsom was responsible for Ye’s controversial gutting of a Tadao Ando-designed multimillion-dollar Malibu mansion. Following Ye’s failed overhaul, the home was recently relisted for sale. Leaked render of the proposed 'West' Wing Ye’s plans for the West Wing have already been leaked via Signal, appearing to show the rapper taking a similar approach to that of the Ando mansion. Renders of the proposed scheme show the West Wing largely gutted, with no windows and doors,...

President Trump’s controversial plans for a new ballroom on the site of the former East Wing of the White House have faced further criticism from architects and designers. Ahead of an expected National Capital Planning Commission vote to progress the scheme this week, on April 2, The New York Times has published a deep dive into the design criticisms expressed about the scheme. The analysis, whose authors include architect Junho Lee, identifies several apparent design flaws in the scheme, notably a dominant south portico with a grand staircase that nonetheless has no entrance to the ballroom, with a dense cluster of columns that may block light into the interior space. The move will also lead to the alteration of a symmetrical driveway by Frederick Law Olmsted.

Büro Ole Scheeren has unveiled the design for the Róng Museum of Art, a new cultural institution currently under construction in Shenzhen’s Nanshan District.

Berke has also overseen projects that link students and faculty with local communities through affordable housing and historic preservation efforts. Late last year, Berke was among five women making outstanding...

A coalition including the AIA, Docomomo US, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and five other advocacy groups has filed suit in federal court to force public review of the Trump administration’s proposed overhaul of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The case centers on whether major changes to Edward Durell Stone’s 1971 landmark can move forward without historic preservation review, environmental process, and Congressional authorization, raising broader questions for architects, preservationists, and the future of federally stewarded civic monuments. According to the coalition’s press release, the lawsuit seeks to compel compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act and the National Environmental Policy Act before any substantial alteration proceeds, and a preliminary injunction is expected to follow. The plaintiffs say they are not opposing routine repairs and maintenance, but are instead trying to prevent irreversible changes to defining archi...
ICYMI Paul Petrunia and Orhan Ayyüce chatted with Francis Kéré on the occasion of his Richard Neutra Award. They discussed biorealism, abundance and his belief that "Everyone deserves quality and comfort." Eamez and Quasimotor both offered up praise "Kéré’s emphasis on collaboration and reciprocal learning reinforces the integrity of the architecture; it is not imposed form, but cultivated process." The latest design for David Chipperfield Architects’ Nobel Center in Stockholm includes the use of reclaimed bricks and a wooden structural frame. homme_du_jura was disappointed "Years ago I had a deep admiration for Chipperfield's austerity and elegant restraint. It almost felt neo-classical…Now his work feels flat, thin and shallow." LACMA’s David Geffen Galleries will open on April 19th, 2026. Jim Blake was psyched "This is going to be a GREAT place to have L.A.'s biggest parties. I hope the rooftop is accessible…I'm seeing Academy Awards, Emmys, Grammys after-parties." Image cre...

Founded by Markus Dochantschi in 2002, the firm houses architects, interior designers, graphic designers, builders, and artists.

In case you aren't closely following all the developing White House makeover news (God bless your soul), here's what has happened since the last time you blinked: The Washington Post reports that the Trump-appointed head of the Commission of Fine Arts, Rodney Mims Cook Jr., has proposed to rip out the White House's Ionic columns and replace them with that swankier Corinthian-style drip. Close-up of the Ionic White House columns ("Ewww," according to Mr. Cook). Photo: Fine Photographics/Unsplash Currently, the North and South porticos feature columns of the Ionic order; however, Corinthian is the preferred style at Mar-a-Lago and other Trump properties and will dominate the highly controversial ballroom project proposal (check here for renderings).

A hot new rumor has LEGO fans and architecture aficionados equally excited: Brick Fanatics reports that the long-anticipated 12,000-piece LEGO Architecture set would feature Barcelona's famously unfinished Sagrada Família cathedral design. The outlet bases its prediction on an Instagram post by Brick Tap, which states a release date of July 1st, 2026, for the rumored 21065 Sagrada Familia set. At 12,060 pieces, it would make it the largest LEGO set by piece count. Brick Tap's leak reports the price to be $600 USD. View this post on Instagram A post shared by a.clay.brick (@a.clay.brick) The original Antoni Gaudí landmark is indeed making big strides toward eventual completion, more than 140 years after construction began in 1882.

That week, it had become widely known among DLR Group’s 1,800-some employees that the firm had connections to ICE through its deals involving the private prison company CoreCivic. The resulting outcry has thrown DLR Group into turmoil [...] Writing for Mother Jones, reporter Madison Pauly retells the case of how recent prison design contracts linked to ICE detentions at DLR Group, one of the nation's largest architecture firms, led to an internal revolt among employees over company ethics and, ultimately, to executives backtracking on ICE-connected contracts. "Within a week, more than 75 different employees had spoken out against the Diamondback project, work on ICE detention centers, or DLR Group’s relationship with CoreCivic on the company’s message board," Pauly writes. "Some of them had surfaced more examples of DLR Group’s connections to ICE: a past contract to expand Otay Mesa, a CoreCivic-owned ICE detention center in California; renovations at a Texas ICE detention center named after a CoreCivic founder."

The results are in for Buildner's recent Concrete Pavilion competition, inviting participants to explore concrete "not just as a structural solution but as a medium for innovation, expression, and experimentation." The brief asked architects and designers to envision a temporary or permanent structure no larger than 50 square meters (538 square feet), considering the sensory and tactile qualities of concrete, while providing both a functional exhibition space and serving as a sculptural object. One key expectation was incorporating sustainable design strategies to minimize the material's environmental impact. Check out the winning entries and honorable mentions below. Got a favorite design?

Oh, so close: U.S. architecture firms almost reported an increase in billings last month, as the newly released AIA/Deltek Architecture Billings Index indicates. While the February score of 49.4 ultimately stopped short of the magical 50.0 threshold (any score below 50.0 indicates a decline in billings compared to the previous month), it still managed to improve significantly from January's disappointing 43.8 and marks the best-performing data point in more than a year. According to the AIA report, new project inquiries bounced back from a January slump, and newly signed design contracts showed a "significant" slowing of the ongoing decline. AIA Chief Economist Richard Branch acknowledges that current trends suggest potential stabilization but warns that global economic uncertainty could disrupt this progress. "While the ABI data shows some positive trends, the broader economy continues to struggle, with unemployment increasing in February. However, architectural services employme...
The American Academy of Arts and Letters' prestigious Arnold W. Brunner Memorial Prize goes to Japanese architect Junya Ishigami this year. The annual prize awards US$20,000 to an architect of any nationality who has made a significant contribution to architecture as an art. Ishigami, who worked with Kazuyo Sejima at SANAA before branching out with his own practice junya.ishigami+associates in 2004, is known for his brand of Japanese minimalism that takes inspiration from its natural surroundings, notably the 2019 Serpentine Pavilion in London, KAIT Plaza in Atsugi, Japan, the Glass Pavilion in Park Groot Vijversburg, the Netherlands, and the cave-like 'excavated' restaurant & residence in Ube, Japan. Other Brunner Prize winners in recent years were Farshid Moussavi, SelgasCano, W. G. Clark, Carme Pinós, Eduardo Souto de Moura, Francis Kéré, and this year's Pritzker winner Smiljan Radic.
As Mussolini saw Rome as a mere shadow of its ancient self, Mr. Trump sees Washington as a city insufficiently grand for his ambitions. As a builder, he has always confused size with excellence [...] and when he looks at Washington, he probably really believes that it is a bit humdrum and lacking in panache, as if the founding fathers could not imagine something as noble as Mr. Trump has in mind. "Washington was conceived as an expression of democracy, a place in which the largest and grandest public building was the Capitol, where the representatives of the people gathered," former NYT architecture critic Paul Goldberger writes in a new opinion essay for the paper, comparing Mussolini's power-hungry architectural ambitions in Rome with Donald Trump's barrage of Washington, D.C., makeover headlines. "The White House is a mansion, not a palace," Goldberger continues, "it is large compared with the average house of its time, but it was never intended to intimidate. In person, especially if you are used to the oligarchic great houses of the Gilded Age of a century ago or the ones that have gone up in the Hamptons in New York or Jackson Hole, Wyo., that typify the age we are living in now, it’s surprisingly human-scaled and lived in.

The New York Times and The Art Newspaper have published reports of damage to several important Iranian cultural heritage sites in Tehran and Isfahan since the U.S.-Israeli strikes began on February 28. "A spokeswoman for UNESCO, the United Nations agency that seeks to protect global culture, said her organization had been able to verify damage at several World Heritage sites in Iran," the Times writes. "They include the Golestan Palace; the Chehel Sotoun pavilion of the Persian Garden, the Masjed‑e Jameh of Isfahan, as well as on buildings located near the buffer zone of the prehistoric sites of the Khorramabad Valley." Besides significant heritage sites, nearly 10,000 civilian sites have reportedly been damaged or destroyed in Iran, resulting in more than 1,300 civilian deaths, according to Al Jazeera.

WORKac has completed Riverhouse, a compact sustainable residence in rural Rhode Island designed by the practice’s co-founders Amale Andraos and Dan Wood for their own family.

As Archinect reported this morning, Chilean architect Smiljan Radić Clarke has been announced as the winner of the 2026 Pritzker Prize, one of the architecture world's most prestigious awards. Radić's approach is defined by unique, singular approaches to each project rather than adopting a repeatable architectural language. According to the jury, Radić's work is driven by context, use, and anthropological awareness, where the site is understood not only in physical terms but as a convergence of history, social practice, and political circumstance. Site-specific strategies drive his work, with each building emerging from particular conditions rather than from a signature formula. "Architecture exists between large, massive, and enduring forms — structures that stand under the sun for centuries, waiting for our visit — and smaller, fragile constructions — fleeting as the life of a fly, often without a clear destiny under conventional light," Radić said upon the announcement that he w...
