DOCKSIDE GREEN
by Brian Libby
http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/today.html
http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2008/1015/environment_1-1.html
Although the last two decades have seen Vancouver,
Canada, grab more attention for its forest of tall,
glassy condominium towers, the city's smaller neighbor,
Victoria, is making some waves of its own. The
comparatively sleepy British Columbia capital, with a
population of just under 80,000, is home to one of the
most ambitious sustainable development projects ever
undertaken in Canada.
Dockside Green is a mixed-use neighborhood of
residential, retail, office, and light industrial uses
on 15 acres (six hectares) along the city's inner
harbor. A redevelopment of former industrial land owned
by the City of Victoria, the project will eventually
comprise 26 buildings and over 1.3 million square feet
(120,000 square meters), and house about 2,500 people.
The development's first phase recently received LEED
Platinum certification and, with 63 points, set a new
record for the highest number of points achieved in the
U.S. Green Building Council's LEED rating system.
That's one clue that Dockside Green seems to be meeting
the triple bottom line of environmental, economic, and
social performance that the City of Victoria called for
in its original request for proposals. The goal of
developers Windmill West and Vancity Enterprises is to
achieve LEED Platinum ratings for every building in the
development, which would be a North American first.
Dockside is also a pilot project for the new LEED for
Neighborhood Development rating system.

STIRLING PRIZE FOR ACCORDIA HOUSING
by ArchitectureWeek
http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2008/1015/news_1-1.html
Pairing sensitively designed housing with generous open
space, the architects of Accordia have created an
enduring residential development in Cambridge, United
Kingdom, that embodies the inherent sustainability of
livable communities.
Their careful efforts earned Accordia the Stirling Prize
for 2008. Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios designed the
project with Maccreanor Lavington and Alison Brooks
Architects. This is the first residential project to
receive the prestigious prize, now in its 13th year.

** ArchitectureWeek is a green and low-carbon-footprint
publication. By publishing this professional design and building
magazine online-only, we save about 48 tons of paper monthly,
50 large trees every week, or 2500 trees (a dozen or more acres
of mature conifer forest) each year, compared to reaching a
similar readership on paper - not counting these newsletters!
We provide ongoing pro-bono services to local non-profit
sustainability organizations. And our company offices are
powered by a green mix of 98% wind energy and 2% solar power
through our local electric utilities.
