Messana O'Rorke and the Rizzoli Monograph Brian Messana trained under architects Richard Meier, Thomas Phifer, Hani Rashid, and Peter Marino, working on projects including the Canal+ Headquarters in Paris, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Barcelona, and the Christian Dior Paris flagship. A graduate of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, and Columbia University, he also studied abroad, in Florence, Italy, and at Les Ecoles d'Art Américaines de Fontainebleau. He has lectured on design and served on the faculties of several university architecture programs. Born and raised in Los Angeles, he currently resides in Greenwich Village with his husband, Neil Drew. Founded in 1996 by Brian Messana and Toby O'Rorke in New York City, Messana O'Rorke is renowned for crafting spaces of sublime restraint and ethereal beauty. Their process utilizes a rigorously limited palette of materials orchestrated in an architectural language of distilled boxes, blocks, and containers that emphasize the qualities of space itself rather than the things that fill it. The apparent simplicity and serenity of Messana O'Rorke's designs belie the astonishing richness and variety of the experiences they nurture.

How to Hire a Team That Thrives Lance Cayko and Alex Gore met during their second year as architecture majors at North Dakota State University. While they didn't initially hit it off, the two classmates soon realized they each had qualities to complement the other, and by their third year, the go-getters were working together on all the projects they could and earned the title Renaissance Team from Professor Darryl Booker. By the time they graduated, Lance and Alex knew they'd someday run a business together, but first they went their separate ways with Lance landing in Boulder, Colorado, and Alex in New York City. Then the 2008 recession hit. Both junior architects found themselves out of work. Alex returned to NDSU and earned his construction management degree. By 2010, architecture and construction industries across the country were still struggling, so he joined Lance in Colorado, renting the apartment above him, and the two founded F9 Productions. The company has steadily grown as an architecture, construction, and development firm in Longmont, Colorado from the co-founders to a staff of 11. In 2016, Lance and Alex won the Architizer award for Architecture and Living Small popular vote for their tiny home, Atlas, the build of which was featured on season one, episode 14, of HGTV's Tiny House Big Living. Being business savvy allowed them to earn top ratings, becoming the highest-rated firm for customer satisfaction in Colorado. They've also positioned themselves to build their own projects the way they want, including their new business headquarters. Their education at NDSU taught them the balance between the science and art of architecture to enhance lives through design. As they've grown the business, Lance and Alex strive to empower the people they hire. They pride themselves on developing employees and growing them into leaders to add to the fabric of professionals in architecture.

Photographer James Caul eld has been a professional photographer for more than 30 years, creating compelling images of people, places and things both here and abroad. His interest in architectural subjects grew out of his own efforts restoring a Fromann & Jebsen designed bank in Chicago, a mid-century modern home in Glencoe by the noted architects, Keck & Keck, and his repurposing of several industrial buildings in Chicago as studios in support of his advertising business. His passion for preservation led him to volunteer his services to the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust in Oak Park, Illinois, for whom he has documented the buildings on the Trust's annual internationally-attended house walk, Wright Plus. There he met architectural writer Patrick F. Cannon in 2004, with whom he collaborated on ve books. James is currently at work on a new book project with Pat Cannon, tentatively entitled ‘A Living History’ which will attempt to showcase the nearly 200 year history of Chicago’s residential architecture.

Overcoming Obstacles To Grow an Architecture Firm in New York City Côme Ménage is a French multidisciplinary architect based between New York, Miami and Paris. He founded his own practice, re-a.d, in 2017, championing projects that foster an intentional relationship between the individual and the built environment, exploring architecture as a medium for ideation and communion, facilitating growth and community. The work of the firm presents a globalized perspective to the portfolio of commercial, residential and hospitality projects, rooted in environmental stewardship and committed to accessibility. Practicing out of New York City, Ménage found many opportunities to renovate existing structures instead of building anew. As a contemporary practice, re-a.d is constantly evaluating their positioning in relation to past layers of interventions encountered in older buildings. The attempt to appropriately intervene within existing contexts can be seen on historical projects such as the renovation of a historical carriage house in the West Village as well as the renovation of a Greenpoint laundromat turned fine dining restaurant. Recognizing this work, Ménage was invited as a board member of the New York Landmarks Preservation Foundation. This can also be seen through larger projects such as the renovation of a façade proposed on a 500,000 sq.ft. building at 63 Madison Avenue. This project earned the firm runner-up placement in the Metals in Construction Challenge 2020 organized by the Ornamental Steel Institute of New York. Ménage’s many interests bring richness to the projects at re-a.d. As a Certified Passive House Designer, Ménage brings sustainable thinking to the core of each design and has recently completed a project using a rainwater harvesting structure.
