HOUSE ON RED HILL
    by Jennifer LeClaire
    http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/today.html
    http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2007/0411/design_1-1.html

	The abstract expressionist painter Robert Motherwell once
	said, "Art is much less important than life, but what a
	poor life without it." Those words convey the inspiration
	behind much of the work of Christopher Harty and Chris
	Botterill.

	Harty and Botterill are principals of Christopherchris
	Architecture, a Melbourne-based firm that designed the
	Red Hill Residence for a young family relocating from a
	busy city to Australia's peaceful Mornington Peninsula,
	in southern Victoria. The region is known for its lavish
	cliff-top mansions, lazy beachside vacationers, grand
	historic gardens, and lively local markets.

	Indeed, the architects' zeal for contemporary art, music,
	and technology contributed to an architectural design
	that amplifies these pleasures of life.

	"Red Hill is the culmination of ideas and interpretations
	we have been considering over many years," says
	Botterill. He and Harty had worked under some of
	Australia's best known architects and developed ideas
	about how to roll modern architecture into an
	environmentally conscious building. The result is the Red
	Hill Residence, their first major completed project.

Modular Modes

	Modular houses are composed of one or more sections that
	are factory built, transported by truck, and set on a
	foundation. Modular houses may be made of two modules, as
	is the Sunset Breezehouse shown here, or they can be
	assembled from a kit of prefabricated parts.

Saving the Taj Mahal
    by Ian Morley
    http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2007/0411/culture_1-1.html

	Cities are often symbolized by their prominent buildings.
	For example, it is hard to contemplate Sydney without
	thinking of the Opera House by Jorn Utzon or Barcelona
	without recalling the works by Antoni Gaudi.
