Today's News - January 6, 2003
We welcome ArcSpace back after a holiday hiatus. -- The gloves are really starting to come off regarding WTC plans, from group therapy to the emperor's new clothes, with a lot of hope and pessimism thrown in for good measure. -- Gehry's take? "…I found it demeaning that the agency paid only $40,000 for all that work." -- Add to the mix Olympics 2012. -- Government and land planning - an oxymoron in Israel? -- Oaxaca, Mexico, seems to be doing things right. -- St. Petersburg pleas for preservation - and sends Eric Owen Moss back to the drawing boards for another competition round. -- There's more than just Disney Hall on Grand Avenue. -- An art lover takes on museum designs around the world, and a new home for art in the Italian hills. -- Bridging the gap between architectural education and reality. -- Take a break and read some (seriously) fun fiction inspired by architecture.
