BARNES GOLD MEDAL
    by ArchitectureWeek
    http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/today.html
    http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2007/0117/news_1-1.html

	Only five times in the 100-year history of the American
	Institute of Architects (AIA) Gold Medal has the AIA's
	highest honor been awarded posthumously. Renowned
	20th-century architect Edward Larrabee Barnes, FAIA has
	now joined the ranks of the others - Thomas Jefferson,
	Eero Saarinen, Richard Neutra, William Caudill, and
	Samuel Mockbee - who did not live long enough to enjoy
	this well deserved symbol of professional recognition.

	Barnes is perhaps best remembered for fusing American
	modernism with vernacular architecture. In describing
	him, Henry N. Cobb, FAIA, founding partner with Pei
	Cobb Freed & Partners, remarked: "With
	characteristically quiet determination, Edward Barnes
	produced a large body of distinguished built work -
	some of them too-little celebrated - during his more
	than 40 years of practice.  Although Barnes was modest,
	perhaps to a fault, and often seemed to operate 'below
	the radar' of critical acclaim, his influence has
	nonetheless been broad and deep."

Embedded Lab
    by Allison Milionis
    http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2007/0117/building_1-1.html

	The new Center for Embedded Network Sensing (CENS)
	building designed by Culver City-based Studio Pali
	Fekete Architects (SPF:a), is unlike the red brick
	edifices that grace most of the University of
	California, Los Angeles campus. Surrounded on all sides
	by 1960s buildings and occupying a formerly neglected
	courtyard, the glass and steel structure is like a
	diamond in the rough.

Unsustainable
    by Ian Morley
    http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2007/0117/environment_1-1.html

	"Sustainable development is development that meets the
	needs of the present without compromising the ability
	of future generations to meet their own needs." This
	definition was written 20 years ago in the Brundtland
	Report, commissioned by the United Nations. Since then,
	the goal of sustainable urban development has been
	embraced, in theory, by many officials and design
	professionals all over the world. But examples of
	meeting today's needs seem limited to the more
	prosperous segments of society. Living conditions today
	in the slums of many of the world's largest cities are
	appalling, and not improving. - Editor
