Architecture loses an enfant terrible: "Architects are the biggest whores in town. They talk in platitudes about improving the quality of life, and then get out drawings of the prison they're working on." -- In Kabul, Canadian "embassy buildings should have the ability to be disassembled and removed." -- Future development in Pudong will take humans into account featuring (how considerate). -- Park designs for Boston's Big Dig are getting lambasted before the ink is dry. -- Lessons in park accessibility from Milwaukee. -- Landscape law claimed a hardship for developers (but what of those who have to live there?). -- Prefab takes the high road with high design. -- Home and rental unit builders better take baby boomers into account in New Zealand. -- A Sikh temple in Glasgow "will be a fitting and flamboyant addition" to the cityscape. -- In Los Angeles, a legendary "Rat Pack modern" restaurant gives way to high-end apartments. -- Macy's and Target told to get their design acts together. -- British starchitects' profits fall but "The practices will not collapse. We are moving from the signature architect to the signature brand." -- Urban goes rural. -- Plans for a plastic Berlin Wall…give us a break!
