Today's News - September 10, 2002

The architecture critic for The New Republic has nothing good to say about the New York Times architecture critic or his "dream team" reimagining lower Manhattan (his take on the Max Protech show: "…a repugnantly stylish series of meaningless renderings by a lineup of the usual trendy suspects…"). -- A landscape architect has become a master "facilitator" of memorial design. -- A new study shows downtown New York shows 11 million square feet of office space may hurt more than help. -- Washington, DC is trying to deal with aesthetics and security in public spaces, while Slate offers a slide show of international places that combine both. -- A list of the best in American architecture. -- Sustainable design seminars in Australia. -- Two views from the Venice Biennale. -- Baltimore is running out of waterfront property to develop. Princess Diana memorial critiqued. -- The UK's "Streets of Shame" campaign calls on a big gun. -- Prince Charles calls on a magazine editor(!)…and much more. (And a reminder: we have added a site search window on the ANN home page.)
