In the @nytimes today Barbara Bestor @bestorarchitecture talks about her favorite Design Finds.

“I really love the aesthetics of my youth,” Ms. Bestor said. “I grew up in Cambridge, Mass., in the Design Research era of the ’70s,” she said, noting that the hippo reminds her of the influential store that offered colorful, inspiring furniture and objects for contemporary living.

“It’s cheerful,” Ms. Bestor said, which matches the vision she has for her home. “My personal aesthetic is optimistic modernism.”

TIME named Walter Hood of Hood Design Studio to the 2026 TIME100, its annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world. The full list and related tributes appear in the April 27, 2026, issue of TIME, available on newsstands on Friday, April 17, and now online.

The list recognizes the impact, innovation and achievement of the world’s most influential individuals. Hood joins artists Jafar Panahi and Benicio Del Toro, Photographer Lynsey Daddario, Olympic gold medal skater Alysa Liu, and Mayor of New York Zohran Mamdani on the list. This recognition represents another milestone in the growth and evolution of the Oakland-based Hood Design Studio. In addition to this honor, Walter Hood was recognized as one of Galerie Magazine’s Creative Minds for 2026, in May 2026 groundbreaking will commence on the major overhaul of Lincoln Center’s Damroch Park, the studio was selected to design the Kresge Foundation’s new campus in Troy, Michigan with Diller Scofidio Renfro, and The African American Ancestors Garden: History and Memory at the International African American Museum was released. Within the studio, Landscape Architect Alma Du Solier, who led the NVIDIA Campus and Intuit Dome landscape design teams was elevated to Partner, and Sarita Schreiber, who coordinated Migrations at the San Diego Airport was named Director of Social Art.

In her tribute landscape architect Kate Orff said, “Whether he‘s riffing off of the intertwined practices of landscape architecture, sculpture, and cultural anthropology, or crafting community parks in Oakland, California, his work allows us all to take part in a wider civic conversation. Walter has an almost kaleidoscopic power to ground us where we are, by propelling us into the past and simultaneously toward a more just future that is slowly coming into focus.”

In the Design Section of the @nytimes: The pompom-shaped sycamore seedpod inspired two varieties of handmade wind chimes by the Los Angeles landscape architect Sarita Jaccard @sarita.jaccard.design . She cast the fluff-filled spheres in metal and strung them along a chain that strikes a metal tube when the wind blows. Her cylindrical Cilindro chime emits a deep bell-like sound, while the cocoon-shaped Petal is sonically brighter. The chimes are available in bronze or aluminum, from $4,000. A portion of proceeds from their sale will be donated to CHIRLA @chirla_org , the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights & are sold exclusively through @22re_22re

For the last 250 years, the American story has taken place against a backdrop of not only sea-to-shining-sea natural wonders, but also vibrant urban landscapes. As the United States approaches its Semiquincentennial, TIME (@time ) asked 25 architects, urban planners, thinkers, and other experts to each nominate a building or monument that they believe says something special about the nation at this moment.

The shotgun house
Selected by Walter Hood (@hooddesignstudio )
The narrow, rectangular “shotgun house” is an American housing typology attributed to the African diaspora, from Haiti to the American South and as far west as California. In today’s fascination with affordable, tiny houses, the legacy of traditional American architecture is in plain sight.

Hood is the creative director and founder of Hood Design Studio in Oakland, Calif., and professor emeritus of Landscape Architecture & Environmental Planning and Urban Design at the University of California, Berkeley.

Thank you @cultured_mag for including Walter Hood of @hooddesignstudio on the Cultured 100 list! Honorees “in their respective fields—art, fashion, film, literature, politics, food, and more—they are choosing risk over reward, courage over fear, curiosity over cynicism, and conviction over covering bases. ”

Thank you @sarahgharrelson @maraveitch Ella Martin-Gachot @sophie2laura

Walter Hood in @wallpapermag

Each of his gardens, community spaces, streetscapes and masterplans finds its own voice through a blend of history, ecology, art and culture. Instead of erasing what existed before, Hood recovers forgotten histories, represents the particularities of place and makes marginalised people visible.

Meet Me In The Middle, a group exhibition curated by St Vincents founders Henri Delbarre and Geraldine Jackman explores the language of jewelry in contemporary design. The exhibition gathers eight female designers whose work bears the imprint of jewelry — whether as foundational training, lifetime obsession or quiet undercurrent. Meet Me In The Middle is not a show about adornment, but about transference: how jewelry’s enduring value can mutate when untethered from the body and amplified into space.
