ISTANBUL PAVILION Nestled in a park near Istanbul, Turkey is a semi-underground building dubbed "Chameleon." The project was commissioned by Borusan Company as a public exhibition and seminar space and designed by Global Architectural Development (GAD), an architecture firm that was founded in Turkey and has since moved to New York.

OASIS FOR CHILDREN Creating a vibrant, challenging, and engaging environment is at the very heart of designing a childcare center. Should the architecture differ for children who are homeless? Seeking answers to that question guided the design for the Tenderloin Childcare Center, located in one of San Francisco's most deprived neighborhoods. The result, by Gelfand RNP Architects, is an oasis of safety for 72 children who come from homeless and formerly homeless families.

LABORATORY LAYOUTS When considering adjacencies in research laboratory facilities, the relationship of the labs, offices, and corridor will have a significant impact on the image and operations of the building. A key question should be: do the end users want a view from their labs to the exterior, or will the labs be located on the interior, with wall space used for casework and equipment?
