Fri Jan 11 14:39:14 PST 2008

Dear ArchitectureWeek Readers,

ArchitectureWeek No. 363 is now available on the Web, with these 
new design and building features, and more.  This Notes issue is 
sponsored by Bentley:

 Bentley's BIM solutions allow architects, engineers,
 contractors, owners, and operators who design, analyze, build,
 and operate buildings and facilities to be in sync with each
 other throughout the entire building lifecycle. Save time,
 improve quality, and create better buildings because of the
 informed decisions made along the way. Try it yourself...

AUSTRALIAN ARCHITECTURE AWARDS 2007
    by ArchitectureWeek
    http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/today.html
    http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2008/0109/news_1-1.html

	Projects recognized in the Royal Australian Institute of
	Architects national architecture awards for 2007 range
	from a small house to a grand state library and a
	mixed-use tower over 80 stories. Most of the two-dozen
	buildings stand in the populous eastern states, with a
	few farther-flung exceptions.

	"Sustainability was a thematic across all of the
	categories, and has quickly become embedded into the
	core practice of architecture, with its rapid
	'mainstreaming,'" said jury chair Carey Lyon, director
	of Melbourne-based architecture firm Lyons. "The Jury
	considered that the separate category for Sustainability
	may now have built in obsolescence."

	Exemplary Library
	The new State Library of Queensland in South Brisbane
	has been recognized as a positive reinvention of a
	public institution. Donovan Hill and Peddle Thorp
	Architects collaborated on the project as a joint
	venture, creating a new five-level structure and adding
	a fifth level over the existing building, which was also
	extensively renovated. 

	Located on the Brisbane River across from Brisbane's
	central business district, the library is a visible
	cultural resource without stretching for iconism. Much
	of the concrete exterior is pigmented green, which the
	jury viewed as a reference to the landscape.  The
	library received the RAIA's highest awards for both
	public architecture and interior architecture.

LEED Gold Resurrection for RiverEast
    by Brian Libby
    http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2008/0109/building_1-1.html

	To visit the RiverEast Center in Portland, Oregon, is to
	stand at a major crossroads. The newly renovated former
	warehouse building sits along the Willamette River, just
	across from downtown, at the base of the Hawthorne
	Bridge. This location affords unobstructed views of
	boats and cars streaming by in the foreground with the
	classic downtown Portland skyline behind. The RiverEast
	Center also sits beside a massive freeway bridge and
	overpass to the west and a railroad track busy with
	freight and occasional passenger trains to the east.
