Airport lounges have been around since 1939, back when American Airlines debuted its Admirals Club at LaGuardia Airport. Since then, demand has skyrocketed for these amenity rich experiences, creating a new travel destination right within the airport. Gensler’s Ashley Dowell dives into the top three ways that airport lounges are reinventing themselves to meet modern day travelers needs and wants: https://lnkd.in/ghr_GZdi

In his recent conversation with Fast Company’s By Design podcast, Gensler Co-CEO Jordan Goldstein makes a powerful point: the AI revolution isn’t just digital, it’s physical. The buildings that power AI are fast becoming some of the most consequential projects of our time. A few takeaways: ✅Data centers are no longer “bunkers." Instead, they're emerging as civic architecture, integrated into cities and mixed-use districts rather than pushed to the margins. ✅They’re workplaces, too. Thoughtful daylight, amenities, and collaborative spaces are imperative to attract and retain specialists who keep systems running. ✅Sustainability is non-negotiable. Teams are pushing toward lower-carbon structures (including mass timber), circular cooling strategies, and smarter energy systems at campus and district scale. ✅Old buildings are getting new life. As cities wrestle with underused office stock, data center components are part of a broader conversion story combining education, residential, hospitality, and infrastructure in unexpected ways. If you’re interested in where AI, cities, and architecture intersect, take a listen and dive into how the next generation of data centers will shape both our digital lives and our streetscapes. https://lnkd.in/ed2iGr-w

We’re excited to share that Gensler has been recognised as a winner of the NLA Award for Healthcare and Life Sciences for our work with The London Cancer Hub. Supported by Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan the NLA Awards celebrate the people, places and projects shaping a better London. Designed by Gensler in collaboration with Aviva Capital Partners and Socius, London Cancer Hub is a transformative mixed-use development redefining science-led placemaking in the UK. The design centers on creating a vibrant, inclusive community that blends healthy living with world-class science. The masterplan includes 1 million square feet of cutting-edge research and laboratory space, alongside residential accommodation for district workers. It will bring together leading life sciences companies, institutions, academic researchers, and clinicians – nurturing collaboration and accelerating innovation in cancer research. Crucially, the design has been shaped through extensive stakeholder engagement – sessions with local residents, school groups, researchers, and hospital staff influenced everything from amenities to landscaping. Along with helping the UK grow its life sciences sector, the development will provide a major boost for the local economy, creating thousands of jobs and delivering a thriving, sustainable district that meets the needs of the Sutton community. Congratulations to everyone involved in making this achievement possible!

Journey mapping helps teams visualize how users (think sports fans, shoppers, employees, etc.) move through a space. This empowers both designers and clients to anticipate experience and react with physical and digital touchpoints that engage users and contribute to an intuitive, value-driven journey. Join Gensler’s Jo-Yee Pang in exploring the benefits of journey mapping from insights to innovation: https://lnkd.in/eqhKdHFN
