Today's News - November 5, 2002
MIT's new dormitory goes well beyond typical cinder block and laminates - the words "pixilated" and "audacious" come to mind. -- A winner in design competition for the new home of Museum of Contemporary Arts and Design (formerly the American Craft Museum) at 2 Columbus Circle (no matter who won, ruffled feathers will surely fly around any change to Edward Durell Stone's white behemoth). -- Big plans for a school of architecture and London's Regent Street. -- Calatrava is a star in Atlanta, but may not see his Olympic vision soar in Greece. -- Beijing aims for a "Green Olympics." -- City design standards inspire more than mediocrity in Toledo (and elsewhere, we fear). -- Historic preservation: a new battlefront in Jerusalem, California, and the UK. -- Public/private partnerships in New Zealand do not always end in windfall profits for the private sector. -- Affordable housing: stylish in Boston, flood-proof in Prague, and disaster-proof in North Carolina…and more.
