Today’s News - Tuesday, March 12, 2002

ArchNewsNow home page now sports two feature articles - and a new look! We thought it particularly appropriate to begin this new adventure with an essay about what elements are important to create thriving public spaces. After all, is there a larger public space than this place we call the Internet? "Critical Ingredients in Urban Placemaking" by Randy Shortridge, AIA, (RTKL) introduces INSIGHT, an ANN series written by industry professionals intended to be an interesting mix of observations, opinions, and musings on a range of subjects. (If you have Insights you'd like to submit, please do.) For "Fermenting Culture," Imagination and Robinson Keefe Devane (RKD) Architects take us through the transformation of a former Guinness fermentation plant into a dynamic corporate and public visitors center in the heart of Dublin.
