	LONDON MILLENNIUM BRIDGE London’s Millennium Bridge reopened six years ago on February 22, 2002, with its designer, Lord Foster, in attendance, but without its original, notorious wobble.

	MIDWEST FARM STYLE What better to welcome visitors to a working 1890s farmstead than an exhibit hall suggesting traditional forms. With an economy reminiscent of 19th-century Illinois farm life, the Chicago firm of Teng & Associates, Inc. has designed a barn-like structure for Kline Creek Farm . The new visitors center has an outward appearance appropriate for the historic farm context, but on closer inspection it reveals modern construction techniques and sensibilities. — Published 2002.0227
	ERICKSON'S URBAN WATERFALL "You can't fight City Hall," goes the old adage. Yet the Waterfall Building, an innovative urban live/ work development in Vancouver, British Columbia, is proof that you can fight City Hall — and win. In this case, the city wins too.

	SERT'S MIRO FOUNDATION In 1974, Spanish architect Joseph Lluis Sert completed the Miró Foundation, a museum in Barcelona dedicated to his friend, modern artist Joan Miró. The light-filled galleries were as varied as the artwork they were designed to display. — Published 2002.0206
	INTERVIEW WITH AN EMERGING ARCHITECT Few architectural commissions are more attractive than an art museum. So no one was surprised in 1999 when the design competition for the Forum for Contemporary Art in St. Louis, Missouri drew an international "who's who" of architects and firms — Rem Koolhaas, Herzog & de Meuron, Enrique Norton, Peter Zumthor. — Published 2002.0102
	NEW GENERATION ARCHITECTURE There is a continuing and apparently powerful, if somewhat perverse, urge to write architecture off as dead. In fact the evidence points rather to the contrary. — Published 2001.1212
	RENEWING AMERICAN GOTHIC First occupied in 1897, Blair & Buyers Hall was the first residence hall of the collegiate Gothic style at Princeton University. Designed by the firm of Cope and Stewardson Architects, it is considered to be one of Princeton's most architecturally significant buildings.
