ART DEPOT

	Museum franchising seems to be a growing trend. The
	Guggenheim is a well established worldwide franchise, and
	The Louvre is on its way. The New York-based Museum of
	Modern Art and Dia Art Foundation each have two sites,
	while the London-based Tate has four.

	Now joining this prestigious list, near the U.S./Mexico
	border, is the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego
	(MCASD), which has just significantly expanded its
	presence in downtown San Diego by adding a second venue
	in a historic train depot, to complement the sister site
	in nearby La Jolla, California.

	The institution's maxim, "One museum, two locations,"
	combines well with its "X" logo o graphically
	representing the intersection of museums, countries, and
	railroad lines. Making multiple sites complement one
	another architecturally, however, became a substantial
	challenge for Gluckman Mayner Architects (GMA).

Determining Shenzhen
    by Ian Morley

	It is a historical fact that with economic transition
	comes environmental change. Perhaps there is no greater
	influence on the physical environment than the rapid
	industrial and economic development of towns and cities.

	This occurred in Europe in the 19th and 20th centuries,
	during the Industrial Revolution. Transportation
	innovations like the train and later the car encouraged a
	physical and psychological detachment between the home
	and workplace, leading to an expansion of residential and
	commercial districts into rural pastures.

House Recycling
    by Bob Falk and Brad Guy
    http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2007/0530/environment_1-1.html

	Depending on your generation, you may have been taught:
	"Waste not, want not." Thrift is certainly one incentive
	for deconstructing buildings for reuse. In addition, many
	of us are motivated by a desire to be environmentally
	sensitive, a fondness for antiques and other items from
	the past, a yearning to have more control over the
	quality of materials used in construction, or a
	recognition that many of the materials available for
	salvage are of higher quality than those produced today.
