Dear Designers, Builders, and Dwellers,
Residential Tuesday brings you top housing news and analysis weekly
in this free email newsletter from the editors of ArchitectureWeek.
The AIA small project awards (covered in the current ArchWeek) include
some pretty interesting small housing items...
Casa 218 in San Antonio, Texas, by local architect Candid
Rogers, added 960 square feet (89 square meters) to a
circa-1873 home, contrasting the original stone cottage with
a new addition clad in galvanized metal panels.
For the Wedge House in Bethesda, Maryland, Donald Lococo
Architects renovated a 1970s home with a unique triangular
shape by adding a series of decks, terraces, and transparent
walls and frames to allow better viewing of a new park
adjacent to the property.
The Penmar Studio-Residence in Venice, California, by
architect Dean Nota, also takes advantage of a triangular
site, expanding an old garage into a two-story live-work
space for a photographer. The structure is defined by its
folded metal-clad roof planes on the outside and the unique
angular volumes it creates inside...

This Week's Quiz -
Match each energy type with its geologic origins:
1. Natural Gas
2. Oil
3. Coal
A. Formed from organic remains of algae that thrived in
the oceans during two warm periods 90 million and 150
million years ago.
B. Also from buried remains of ancient organisms, but
unlike "A" above, comes from plants and animals that
decomposed at higher temperatures deeper
underground.
C. Warm, wet climates 360 million to 300 million years
ago gave rise to an explosive growth of swamp plants
that were eventually buried, subjected to high
temperatures and transformed into this energy source.
