ERSKINE'S MILLENNIUM VILLAGE Innovation and sustainability are the two key drivers for the new Greenwich Millennium Village in southeast London. It is an ambitious mixed-use development being built according to a master plan by architect Ralph Erskine using the latest sustainable methods and materials. The £250 million project, being constructed in phases over a five-year period, saw its first occupants in late 2000. For the first phase, Erskine was also design architect, with EPR as production architect.

SINGAPORE ARCHITECTURE AWARDS A mixed-use development in a historic Chinatown, an austere, yet serene, house in a Singapore suburb, two radically different clubhouses, a high-density primary school, and the surprising combination of a Western business college with a historic Chinese homestead: these are just a handful of exemplary projects honored in this year's Singapore Institute of Architects (SIA) Design Awards.

LIBESKIND ZIGZAG IN BERLIN In an unprecedented happening, more than 300,000 visitors went to see a totally empty museum. During the 18 months between completion of the structure and its official opening, the edifice itself became an attraction in a city bursting with building fever.
