Residential Tuesday 2006.1017

[ArchitectureWeek Editors]

Dear Designers, Builders, and Dwellers,

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

This week, corruption meets punishment in the U.S. with 15 years for
a former Homestore.com exec and fines for title insurance scammers,
while the New York Times reports on the early takeoff of LEED for
Homes, and green housing projects catch headlines across the UK and
North America.  Steel builds houses in Australia and logs build in
Canada.

Housing access and affordability are hot topics in Pakistan, in 
Jacksonville, Florida, in the UK, in Vancouver, BC. and trans-Canada.

	ArchitectureWeek is a green publication.  By publishing
	this professional design and building magazine online-only, 
	we save about 48 tons of paper monthly, or about 50 big 
	trees-worth every week, 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 100% wind energy through our local utility.
