DESIGN WITH WRIGHT'S NATURE Every year in early June we invite architecture students to study the legacy of Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin West in Arizona. It's an event filled with surprises and revelations. It's not a history study, but a search for design principles that can be applied to today's most crucial architectural problems: 1) how to make ecological architecture the rule, not the exception, and 2) how to expand human imagination beyond common norms in problem solving and creative design.

TWO HOUSES FROM GREEN ARCHITECTURE The Eisaku Ushida and Kathryn Findlay studio is a husband-and-wife partnership founded in 1988 as a bicultural (Japan and Scotland) collaboration and best known for its work dealing with architecture as a reflection of regional topography and the psychological interface between habitat, technology, and nature.

PHARMACIA BEING GREEN "It's not easy being green," is the conclusion of Flad & Associates, when they're designing for a high-tech pharmaceutical research and development company. Yet their new building for Pharmacia has demonstrated that it's possible to be "green" while still providing an attractive, safe, and professionally supportive environment for scientists.
