REBUILDING A STONE HERITAGE "[ I worked with the mason]... until my fingers had the art to make stone love stone." — from "Tor House" by poet Robinson Jeffers For the past two years, students from the United States have gathered in a small village in northern Italy to participate in an unusual experience — the preservation of a built environment that has changed little since medieval times.

NEW ENGLAND AQUARIUM IMAX The new Simons IMAX Theatre at the New England Aquarium presented more than a few construction challenges: Build a highly visible addition to a landmark iconic institution in the middle of downtown Boston's waterfront. Place 60-70 percent of the footprint over water. Create the infrastructure for state-of-the-art 3D theater technology on an extremely constrictive site. Protect neighboring residents from construction noise. Build it fast, on budget ($12.5 million). And, of course, build it well.
