New Buffalo Bills stadium reaches milestone with start of structural steel construction

2024-02-05T08:00:00-05:00

A milestone was reached recently regarding the construction of the new, Populous-designed Buffalo Bills football stadium, the New Highmark Stadium.

The 60,000-seat facility, located in Orchard Park, New York, is now ready for large-scale structural steel work. This marks the completion of excavation work, seven months after the project broke ground in June 2023. Approximately 25,000 tons of steel will be installed, with several massive cranes used to build the superstructure. The steel will be erected in tiers over the next 12–14 months.

Following the placement of the steel framework, the structure will be clad, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical will be installed, and each of the sections of the stadium will be built out.

Construction on the 1.35-million-square-foot stadium is expected to be completed in 2026. The Gilbane-Turner joint venture is in charge of construction.

Get Lectured: University at Buffalo, Fall '23

2023-08-22T17:43:00-04:00

Summer is winding down, and that means it's time again for our Get Lectured series, which continues today with a look at the events taking place at the University at Buffalo School of Architecture and Planning this fall.

This academic year’s programming at UB is centered around the theme For/From: Considering Origins and explores the topic’s significance within an architecture and planning context, culminating in a body of thought that touches on areas such as placemaking, memory, and the importance of cultural exchange which are all vital components of understanding and success in both disciplines.

"As a globalized society, our identities and origins are often complicated and dynamic," the school explains. "The ideas of ‘from’ and ‘for’ directly probe this complexity. One may be removed or distanced from where one originated, one may return after years of being away, or one may have never left in the first place. [...] Whether these relationships are natural, adopted, forced, plan...

Explore photos of OMA and Cooper Robertson's newly opened Buffalo AKG Art Museum expansion

2023-06-23T13:58:00-04:00

OMA has shared photos of the newly-reopened Buffalo AKG ARt Museum (formerly the Albright-Knox Gallery) following a special ribbon-cutting ceremony that was held on June 12 in Buffalo, New York.

The culmination of more than three years of construction yielded the renovation of two existing structures and the addition of a new glass-canopied Jeffrey E. Gundlach Building and Ralph Wilson Town Square designed by Shohei Shigematsu in collaboration with Cooper Robertson.

Overall, the renovations add an additional 50,000-square-feet of exhibition space, five studio classrooms, a restaurant, and 350-seat auditorium. The project was funded by a $230 million capital campaign said to be the largest in the region’s history. New York’s Governor Kathy Hochul, who was born and raised in Buffalo, said "The new building and campus are a dramatic work of art that will attract visitors and support the regional touri...

Julia Czerniak chosen as next dean of University at Buffalo’s School of Architecture and Planning

2023-06-22T12:37:00-04:00

Noted architect, landscape architect, and Syracuse University professor Julia Czerniak has been named dean of the University at Buffalo’s School of Architecture and Planning following a competitive search to find the next design education leader for the SUNY flagship campus.

Czerniak will take office effective September 11th and comes to campus with extensive experience both in academia and the development of communities like Buffalo that are working to come out of the long shadow of deindustrialization.

Czerniak has been on faculty at Syracuse since 1995 and served as the associate dean of the School of Architecture between 2014 and 2022. The Penn State, Princeton, and Glasgow School of Art alumna is also the founding creative director at CLEAR, a unique interdisciplinary design practice focused on developing urban landscapes in cities in the Rust Belt region. Her work there and at other ventures has led to a 2024 residency at the American Academy in Rome and the J.B. Jackson Book ...

OMA and Cooper Robertson's Buffalo AKG Museum will officially reopen in May 2023

2022-11-24T12:00:00-05:00

An opening date has been set for the restored Buffalo AKG Art Museum following the announcement of the additional $20 million in funding to complete the three-year OMA and Cooper Robertson-led project.

Since Archinect's reporting of the museum's design was shared back in June 2018, the formerly named Albright-Knox Art Gallery will officially open its doors on May 25, 2023. New York State Governor Kathy Hochul signed off on the remaining monies made necessary by pandemic-related overruns to what she called a “transformative project that will provide a significant boost to Buffalo’s future.”

When it opens, visitors will be enthralled by Shohei Shigematsu’s glass curtain design for the new Jeffrey E. Gundlach building that connects via a transparent pedestrian bridge to the refurbished 117-year-old Elisabeth Wilmers Building, designed in the neoclassical style by influential local architect...

Buffalo Bills tap Populous to design proposed stadium

2022-03-14T14:55:00-04:00

In a sign the Buffalo Bills are closing in on a stadium deal, the team hired Populous architectural firm to draw up designs for its proposed new facility, a person familiar with discussions confirmed to The Associated Press on Thursday.

The Buffalo Bills are seeking to replace their existing facility, which opened in 1973. Renovations were deemed too expensive. Negotiations are ongoing to see if state funds would be allocated toward the proposed $1.354 billion open-air, 60,000-plus seat stadium. According to AP News, New York Governor Kathy Hochul expressed confidence that a deal can be made before the end of the month, so it can be included on the state budget due in April. If approved, construction on the new stadium could be completed by the start of the 2026 season.

Buffalo’s Great Northern Grain Elevator and the fight to preserve local architectural history

2022-01-25T18:13:00-05:00

The building’s current owner — Archer Daniels Midland Milling Co., part of the farm and food products giant — has been pushing to demolish the Great Northern, setting off a furious fight between preservationists and the company.

The 125-year-old building has been credited with inspiring a host of modernist architects like Walter Gropius and Le Corbusier. The building’s facade was gashed open by a windstorm that has left its empty interior partially exposed since December 12th. At least three previous owners have attempted to demolish the beloved historic building that was for a long time operated by the Pillsbury company, which sold the building to its current owners in the early 1990s.

Archer Daniels Midland Milling Co. has been seeking an emergency petition to raze the building that was granted a stay by an appellate judge in state supreme court earlier this month. The judge has called for mediation sessions this week between the company and conservationists who want to save the damaged structure that they say will leave a massive void on the city’s visual imagination.

“These were the kind of cathedrals of the modern age,” Gregory Delaney, an assistant professor of architecture at the University at Buff...

Steel-frame construction tops out for OMA's Albright-Knox museum expansion

2021-07-23T17:01:00-04:00

The Albright-Knox Art Gallery has reached a major milestone in its ongoing $160 million expansion project overseen by Shohei Shigematsu and OMA in cooperation with Cooper Robertson.

Construction has topped out on the new Jeffrey E. Gundlach Building on the soon-to-be renamed museum’s Buffalo, New York campus, clearing the way for a 2022 reopening that will significantly improve the gallery’s historic footprint.

“This is a remarkable moment,” director Dr. Janne Siren said at a ceremony observing the occasion Wednesday. “We are about one year from the completion of this project that will make Buffalo and our community so proud, will create jobs and prosperity for the people who live here and will be an attraction for people from all across the world who will want to come and visit us,”

With the steel frame now in place, contractors will soon begin the concrete pour for the building with a glass-wall curtain installa...

Trailblazing Buffalo architect Robert Traynham Coles passes away at age 90

2020-05-18T14:42:00-04:00

Longtime architect, advocate, and mentor Robert Traynham Coles has passed away at age 90 in Buffalo.

Coles, who in 1994 became the first African American Chancellor of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), was celebrated for the quality and beauty of his architectural designs. His notable projects include, according to an obituary published by The Buffalo News, the Frank E. Merriweather Jr. Library; the JFK Community Center; and the University at Buffalo's Alumni Arena and Natatorium, as well as additional buildings in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Providence, R.I.

Like many other minority architects, Coles was discouraged from pursuing a career in the industry by his teachers early on, though he eventually earned a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Minnesota and a Masters of Architecture from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). After his studies at MIT, Coles traveled to Europe on the Rotch Travelling Scholarship from the Boston Socie...

Buffalo’s population grows for the first time since 1950

2019-07-02T18:21:00-04:00

Mayor Byron Brown said there will be a significant change documented in the 2020 Census for Buffalo. "We believe that in the 2020 census will allow Buffalo to show its first population growth since the 1950 census,” he said.

After nearly 70 years of population declines, The City of Good Neighbors is growing once again.

According to Buffalo mayor Byron W. Brown, the city could register significant population growth after the 2020 Census, a product, in part, of the city's growing refugee and immigrant communities. According to Census counts, Buffalo's population registered at roughly 260,000 inhabitants in 2010; Updated estimates for the 2020 Census have not been announced.

At an event commemorating World Refugee day, Brown touted the city's population boost, saying, "Diversity is an engine of growth," adding, "It is the way our country has grown from the very beginning."

To help guide future growth, the city overhauled its zoning code in 2017, another first since the 1950s.

Frank Lloyd Wright's defining Barton House in Buffalo, NY completes ambitious $2-million restoration

2018-10-01T15:07:00-04:00

After over 20 years of restoration, a legendary Frank Lloyd Wrightresidence in Buffalo, NY has finally opened its doors to public visitors. Sitting inside the Martin House complex, the Barton House's $2-million upgrade is the final architectural piece of the estate to be restored, completing the ambitious preservation project.

The first of his Buffalo buildings to be completed, the Barton house helped propel the Midwestern architect to national recognition. An exemplar of Wright’s Prairie style, the architecture reflects early iterations of his now famous design signatures: broad low-pitched eaves, streams of windows, and an airy open plan.

Below, take a look at the newly completed Barton House.

First designs of OMA/Shigematsu-lead Albright-Knox Art Gallery Expansion revealed

2018-06-26T14:38:00-04:00

In June 2016, the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo chose OMA/Shohei Shigematsu to design its ambitious $155 million AK360 Campus Development and Expansion project. Today, two years later, the first set of preliminary schematic designs was released, showing a freestanding building that will add 29,000 square feet of exhibition space.

"In addition to the new North Building, OMA will work on preservation and improvements to the existing campus," reads the gallery's announcement. "Changes include creating a new education wing in the lower level of the 1962 building, transforming a surface parking lot into a green landscape and gathering place, adding a new point of entry and exist on the east façade of the museum’s 1962 building and creating new education wing in the lower level of the 1962 building.

A closer look at gentrification in the Rust Belt

2017-12-26T18:50:00-05:00

Gentrification. It is a word that we hear with increasing frequency in contemporary discussions about American cities. But what does that word really mean? And, even more importantly, what does it mean in the context of the region that I live in and love – the Rust Belt? [...] It is important to be clear about the meaning of this increasingly ambiguous term, because what needs to happen in the vast majority of urban neighborhoods in the legacy cities of the Rust Belt is far less ambiguous.

"Many critics of Rust Belt gentrification are holding cities to an unreasonable standard, and placing them in an impossible situation. If much of the city remains poor and run-down, this is proof that the city does not care, and is not trying hard enough. If, on the other hand, parts of the city begin to attract new residents and investment, this is proof that the city does not care, and is not trying hard enough. Heads I win. Tails you lose."

City Observatory published a commentary piece by Jason Segedy, Director of Planning and Urban Development for the City of Akron, Ohio.

Examining Buffalo architecture through film at UB

2017-09-01T20:34:00-04:00

Yamazaki’s residency is part of the program’s ambitious and multi-dimensional schedule for 2017-18 that opened in April with New York City-based composer Laura Kaminsky and virtual artist Rebecca Allen and continued with Brazilian percussionist Cyro Baptista in July, which included the unveiling of “Beat Blossom,” Buffalo sculptor Shasti O’Leary Soudant’s public art installation in the Percussion Garden of Artpark, in Lewiston, New York.

As part of its Creative Arts Initiative (CAI), the University at Buffalo will have Rima Yamazaki, an independent documentary filmmaker specializing in contemporary art and architecture, in residence Sep 1 to Oct 31.

Yamazaki directs, films and edits all of her work. Her new documentary on Buffalo architecture will examine architectural masterpieces and abandoned houses, preservation and demolition through a personal observational style that is centered around reflecting on the arts. “I’d like to reveal something that cannot be expressed in words. This is to be a cinematic study on the relationship between architecture, society and people,” says Yamazaki, “Architecture can be a treasure or a burden to a city. A building is a big expensive thing, not only to build, but also to maintain. It’s not just a place for people to live and work; it also reflects the society and people’s lives.”

On Wednesday, Sep 13, from 6-7:30 pm, UB will host a screening and a discussion of Yamazaki’s 2010 f...

How this new gigafactory may popularize residential solar power technology

2016-03-04T21:24:00-05:00

When production begins, SolarCity, already the leading installer of residential solar panels in the [U.S.] will become a vertically integrated manufacturer and provider...At a time when conventional silicon-based solar panels from China have never been cheaper, investing in a new type of solar technology is a risky undertaking. However, the potential benefits are huge. The new factory...could transform both SolarCity’s business...and the economics of residential solar power.

The MIT Technology Review profiles the upcoming Buffalo-based SolarCity factory and their ambitious plans that could potentially make solar power technology more widely available to consumers.

Repurposing Old Rail Stations in the Rust Belt: What Buffalo, Detroit, and Cincinnati can tell us about adaptive reuse

2014-09-08T13:39:00-04:00

The CTRC’s efforts are part of a larger phenomenon of rail station preservation occurring throughout the Rust Belt, including places such as Cincinnati’s Union Terminal, and Detroit’s Michigan Central Station. And while a geographic disadvantage and heavy rehabilitation costs make for an uphill battle, the Buffalo nonprofit and its ebullient members have high hopes for the future.

But in 1927, Prairie-style extraordinaire Frank Lloyd Wright put together plans for a fuel filling station in Buffalo, New York that would leave even the most seasoned driver awe struck ... 90 years later, the Buffalo Transportation Pierce-Arrow Museum has realized Wright’s vision.

Plan to Raze Five Paul Rudolph Buildings in Buffalo

2013-10-30T10:55:00-04:00

The Buffalo Planning Board will be reviewing plans to construct 48 apartments in eight new buildings next week. The complex at 270 Niagara Street sits in the shadow of City Hall. It currently contains 472 units on 9.5 acres and was completed in 1972.

On Nov 6, 2013 in Buffalo the City Planning Board will meet to review plans submitted by Norstar Development that will demolish five buildings of the Paul Rudolph-designed Shoreline Apartments to make room for eight new residential buildings. The is being described as "Phase 1," and the details of the later phases have not yet been made public.

The Shoreline Apartments project was designed by Paul Rudolph and completed in 1974. It was featured in the September 1972 edition of Architectural Record.
