HOPES FOR SUSTAINABILITY In April, 2005, the University of Oregon hosted the 11th annual "HOPES" conference (Holistic Options for Planet Earth Sustainability). The idea for the conference was born almost 15 years ago when architecture student Kevin Parker decided to learn more about how to make architecture — and his school's curriculum — more sustainable. As part of his master's thesis, he started what has become a respected national forum for students and professionals.

PARIS AIR TERMINAL COLLAPSE REPORT On May 23, 2004, a portion of roof at the Charles de Gaulle International Airport in Paris collapsed, killing four travelers and injuring three more. Ten months later, an investigation of the innovative vault construction has resulted in a report citing probable causes.

TWO INTERNATIONAL MASTERS In March, 2005, the world of architecture lost two 20th century masters: Ralph Erskine of the United Kingdom and Kenzo Tange of Japan. Each died at the age of 91 after a long and influential career. Tange is remembered for building Japan out of the ashes of World War II with structural dynamism. Erskine became well known for his humanist town planning in Britain and Sweden.
