PREDOCK'S ARCHITECTURE SCHOOL
by Susan Smith
http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/today.html
http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2008/1210/design_1-1.html
In New Mexico, sandstone walls, granite boulders cracked
by tree roots, and time-blurred ruins of past
civilizations all rise against a cold cobalt sky -
variegated results of sun, wind, culture, and geology.
Architect Antoine Predock cites such elements of the
U.S. Southwest as influences on his design of the
University of New Mexico (UNM) School of Architecture
and Planning in Albuquerque.
Predock went to architecture school at UNM and has lived
in the southwest for 54 years. He says the building is
"an interpretation of what I think is wonderful about
the area."
This interpretation is evident in the big concrete wall
facing Central Avenue, which is part of historic Route
66. The wall signifies power and gravity to Predock; it
is reminiscent of the towering sandstone cliffs of
Canyon de Chelly. The monumental wall defines the
building's relationship to the rest of the campus and
establishes a strong presence on Central.
Receding from the big wall and protected by overhangs
and louvers are the fully glazed studio areas, offering
a transparent counterpoint to the heavy concrete.
Expanses of glass usher New Mexico's abundant golden
light into the studios, while at the same time giving a
view of the street and the bustle of students crossing
it to enter campus.

Yung Ho Chang's Split House
by Giancarlo La Giorgia
http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2008/1210/culture_1-1.html
Nestled in the hills northwest of Beijing, a
lesser-known attraction vies for attention with a
well-touristed section of China's Great Wall: eleven
ultramodern villas, each designed by a top architect
from China, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, or Singapore.
