EXTRAORDINARY INTERPRETER
    by ArchitectureWeek
    http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/today.html
    http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2007/0711/culture_1-1.html

	At a time when the stylistic vogue in Europe was moving
	from Arts and Crafts into what became known as Modernism,
	out in the far West of America a talented and remarkable
	architect was expressing a special regional style that
	also continues to resonate strongly.

	And her name was not Frank.

	In particular, the buildings Mary Jane Colter created at
	the South Rim of the Grand Canyon from 1905 to 1937 stand
	today as a magnificent suite of place and
	culture-specific architectural iconography - while each
	is a beautiful structure in its own right.

	Her finely literal Hopi House of 1905, dramatically
	romantic Lookout Studio of 1914, and playfully woven
	Watchtower  of 1932 are some high points of this body of
	work.

	Each takes a different approach in its compositional
	strength, craftsmanship, and material attitude.  At the
	same time, all three exude a sense of the perceptive
	depth and care with which Mary Jane Colter studied Pueblo
	and Southwestern building culture.

Postcard from Vancouver
    by David Owen
    http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2007/0711/design_1-1.html

	Dear ArchitectureWeek,
	I was delighted to visit the Vancouver Public Library, in
	Vancouver, British Columbia, designed by Israeli-Canadian
	architect Moshe Safdie. On the surface, the 1995 library
	seems to be a postmodern homage to the Roman Colosseum.
	The form and facade work together to render the building
	a good neighbor in downtown Vancouver, aided by active
	public plazas on two corners. But it is the interior that
	really sets this building apart.
