Residential Tuesday 2007.0424

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, ArchitectureWeek showcases award-winning projects in
the AIA 2007 Housing Awards Program:

	...One of these is a 40,000-square-foot (3700-square-meter)
	Regional Homeless Center designed by Jeffrey M. Kalban &
	Associates Architecture, Inc. for the organization People
	Assisting the Homeless (PATH), in Los Angeles. The
	architects renovated an abandoned three-story 1960s
	office building and transformed it into a colorful,
	cheerful, noninstitutional-seeming facility.

	The building was designed with sensitivity to the
	occupants' personal situations, avoiding any structural
	elements that could contribute to aggression, insecurity,
	or isolation, instead promoting dignity, new social
	relationships, and hope. "This is an amazing
	transformation of a fairly brutal building which enhances
	its environment and makes it a welcome addition to the
	neighborhood," jury members said. ...
