Dear ArchitectureWeek Readers,
ArchitectureWeek No. 414 is now available on the Web, with these
new design and building features, and more. This Notes issue is
sponsored by 3D Models from RedEye ARC:
RedEye ARC produces 3D scaled replica models of residential and
commercial buildings. Fused deposition modeling(R) technology
offers time and cost savings over traditional modeling methods.
The plastic models are accurate, durable, and interactive,
allowing clients to remove floors to view each interior floor
plan and its features. Because the models are built from the
bottom up, details such as stone, tile, appliances, and fixtures
are possible, helping architects to easily communicate designs
to their clients.

YALE ART AND ARCHITECTURE BUILDING
by Michael J. Crosbie
http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/today.html
http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2009/0204/design_1-1.html
The Yale Art and Architecture building in New Haven,
Connecticut, designed by legendary architect Paul
Rudolph and completed in 1963, is now close to how its
architect intended it to be, after a 45-year journey
through celebration, fire, indifference, and abuse.
One of the most iconic architecture school buildings in
the world, the object of a love-hate relationship with
those who have known it, has found new repose amid a
complex mixture of adoration, restoration, and
exhilaration.
The restoration of Rudolph's masterwork, and the
addition of an adjoining building for the art history
department, are the work of New York architect Charles
Gwathmey, a former student of Rudolph's who actually
worked on the original building. The $126 million effort
was guided by Yale's architecture dean, Robert A.M.
Stern, who as a Yale student in the 1960s gave tours of
Rudolph's concrete castle of architecture.
Architecture in the Raw
The building made Rudolph one of the most famous
architects of his time. He came to Yale in 1958 as chair
of the architecture department, and started work on a
new home for the art and architecture programs.

Attendees of the 2008 Greenbuild International
Conference and Expo had good reason to be excited. Since
the conference's debut in 2002 in Austin, Texas, when
just over 4,000 people gathered to discuss the
importance of sustainable design, Greenbuild has
expanded dramatically.

Insulated Metal Panel Performance
Insulated Metal Panels (IMPs) typically consist of an insulated
core with exterior and interior metal skins. Suitable for
exterior walls or roof systems, IMPs are installed outside the
metal stud cavity, and can increase the thermal efficiency of
the building envelope to 95 percent. Download a white paper on
IMPs from the Metal Construction Association.

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
