ArcSpace takes us to Germany and Denmark with a peek into Murcutt's sketchbook. -- An RFQ and a call for entries bring high hopes for NYC's High Line and Broadway malls. -- Re-evaluating "an urban-development guru" and his "creative class" theories. -- SCI-Arc in Los Angeles and warehouses in Toronto may prove him right. -- Model legislation for urban historic preservation. -- Lakefront development minus the "fear and loathing" in Milwaukee. -- Nary a Stern-like red brick in sight at Valley Forge museum. -- A tiny museum ready to soar. -- Of architects and egos: "Is there a more depressing group of persons than our current gang of megalomaniac architects?" -- A leisure center "is a lovely looking building, but the design may have been too clever for its own good." -- An Olympian architect "appears to have developed a Fountainhead complex." -- Vanity films: idolization or education? -- "…hard to find two subjects - architecture and architects - more poorly explored in documentary films" but "My Architect" astounds (we were pulling for it to win the Oscar last night). -- Starchitects glitter in the Finnish snow. -- In the Philippines, architects mix business with billiards.
