Today's News - February 2, 2004
ArcSpace takes us to Beirut. -- We lose a Miesian master. -- Foot doctors got it wrong: Los Angeles is a walkable city. -- Call for Chicago entries to WTC memorial competition. -- Call for entries: landscape architecture competition. -- Very expensive windows leave Holyrood dark. -- A green hospital first to earn LEED status. -- Lions and cherubs and gilt - oh my! -- "Facadectomies" in Philadelphia (as elsewhere) are not always the best solution. -- It's a Toronto kind of day: add "Toronto Effect" to your lexicon: it can be a good - or a bad - thing, according to (as we expected) numerous opinions (it's too bad - or sad - seems that local talent doesn't count, at least in today's sampling). -- Ground Zero finally grows up.
