Residential Tuesday 2006.1010

Tue Oct 10 07:30:21 PDT 2006

Dear Designers, Builders, and Dwellers,

Residential Tuesday brings together top housing news and analysis 
every week, in this free email newsletter from the editors of 
ArchitectureWeek.

Residential Design and Building News This Week
--------------------------------------------------------
Lagging as we'd expect expected, material prices remain high as the
overall U.S. housing market softens.  From Australia to the U.S.,
expensive residential projects and premium products continue to
catch press interest, while in some areas densification points
hopefully toward more walkable development combinations.

Several stories this week represent an ongoing professionalization
of housing industry participants, from the new requirement of
certification for building code inspectors in Ohio, to regulatory
enforcement and overhaul in Malaysia, to the NAHB's professional
lobbying against home fire sprinkler requirements.
