For our latest "How To Get A Job At ____" feature, Archinect connected with New York City-based architecture firm DXA Studio. Founded in 2011 by Jordan Rogove and Wayne Norbeck, the practice has built an impressive portfolio of projects that merge cutting-edge modern design with the preservation of NYC's existing historic built environment. Our conversation with members of the DXA Studio leadership team delves into their hiring process, preferred skills they look for in interested candidates, and how applicants can increase their chances of getting hired.
As the academic year begins, architecture students are entering the next stage in their design education, be it starting a new undergraduate or postgraduate degree or beginning a new semester midway through their studies. If you are one of the many students embarking on this next chapter, we offer you not only our congratulations and best wishes but also a non-exhaustive collection of thoughts and advice to support your journey. Do you have advice for architecture students as the new school season begins, beyond those set out below? Let us know in the comments.
Archinect City Guide takes on Brooklyn today with the help of Quilian Riano, dean of Pratt Institute’s School of Architecture, founder of DSGN AGNC, Architectural League of New York board member, Architecture Lobby activist, and former senior editor for Archinect in its early days, among many other hats he wears in the design and academic community. Riano shares with us his favorite Brooklyn spots for the city's best donuts (he recommends trying the pistachio), a hot bowl of salmon ramen, and a selection of must-visit sites for architecture and design aficionados visiting the borough. Using the handy Google Map he prepared for us makes finding all these places a breeze! Are you a Brooklyn local with your own go-to spots? Or have a city you think we should cover next? Share your thoughts, suggestions, and favorite places in the comments. For Manhattan tips, check out our recent City Guide with Julia Gamolina of Madame Architect.
In this episode of our Studio Snapshot series, Archinect connected with Matt Dennis, founder of Bolt Design Group. Based in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, the high-end multidisciplinary design and build firm specializes in large-scale hospitality, commercial, and residential spaces. The 15-person studio is dedicated to uniting architecture, fabrication, and construction under one roof. Grounded in a collaborative, detail-driven approach, Bolt values staying small enough to know every project intimately while delivering work that is both operationally smart and emotionally resonant. Our conversation explores Bolt’s integrated design–build model, their emphasis on staying small yet impactful, the qualities they seek in resourceful, hands-on hires, and the challenge of balancing creative vision with the realities of running a business. (Bolt is currently hiring for several positions on Archinect Jobs!)

The Manhattan Project, the US program to build an atomic bomb during WWII, is one of the most famous and widely known major government projects: a survey in 1999 ranked the dropping of the atomic bomb as the top news story of the 20th century. Virtually everyone knows that the project built the bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And most of us probably know that the bomb was built by some of the world’s best physicists, working under Robert Oppenheimer at Los Alamos in New Mexico. But the Manhattan Project was far more than just a science project: building the bombs required an enormous industrial effort of unprecedented scale and complexity. Enormous factory complexes were built using hundreds of millions of dollars worth of never-before-constructed equipment. Scores of new machines, analytical techniques, and methods of working with completely novel substances had to be invented. Materials which had never been produced at all, or only produced in tiny amounts, suddenly had to be manufactured in vast quantities.
Communities of faith want their identity reflected in the places they gather.
