[Editor's note: ANN will not post on Wednesday, May 19…we'll be back on Thursday.] 2012 Olympics shortlist announced (and each city gets to pay $500,000 for the privilege). -- There's more than just politics and conflicts going on in Israel. -- High-rise fever in the U.K. (and high praise for Skyhouse). -- High hopes (and fingers crossed) for Toronto's waterfront. -- A tug-of-war in an historic neighborhood yields winners and losers. -- Pixar plans offer "textbook examples of tokenism" for the neighborhood. -- Chicago's Millennium Park is only four years late. -- Uffizi Gallery expansion on a fast track? Not if the new Party of Beauty has a say. -- MIT geeks like Gehry (so do their robots). -- Student designs will actually be built. -- On a quest to finally win tribute for "a titan of 19th-century urban planning." -- Canadian Governor General's Medals in Architecture announced (in a pay-per-view report on Canada.com, the awards "raise some troubling questions. Either the state of Canadian architecture is characterized by a very thin veneer of strong design talent; or there are some very serious shortcomings in how the awards are selected."). -- High Thai style a big hit.
