Today's News - July 29, 2003
We lose a planner who helped shape a city - and inspired others. -- Two takes on the same poll re: Ground Zero. -- A great opportunity for small design firms. -- A look at retail investment in distressed urban areas. -- An impressive shortlist for Boston mega-project (will be winnowed to three). -- Manufactured (and affordable) homes fit in with historic neighborhoods (an experiment whose time has come?). -- Unfinished monuments and unemployed architects in Iraq. -- Timetable for the Millennium Dome still iffy. -- Making a museum garden user-friendly (some not-so-friendly words for Getty garden). -- Public spaces in UK would be cleaner if gum weren't so sticky (word is that Wrigley is working on it). -- Grand and green plans for New Jersey projects. -- A new home for Seattle Opera hits the high notes just right. -- Brooklyn (and its architecture) makes tourists' A List. -- Philippe Starck the first "starchitect" since Le Corbusier with name recognition in Moscow (really?!!?).
