Regional Governance and Collaboration Key to Sustainability in Eagle
River Valley, Colorado
In late September, the AIA Sustainable Design Assessment Team (SDAT)
visited Eagle River Valley, Colo., a region approximately 100 miles
west of the Denver metropolitan area and home to a collection of
municipalities that include Vail, Avon, Eagle, Edwards, and Red Cliff.
With projected growth expected to double the valley’s population
in the next three decades, the project was framed around the notion
of identifying the carrying capacity of the valley and the elements
needed to create a healthy regional system.
Thom Mayne, FAIA, Appointed to President’s
Committee on the Arts and Humanities
The Obama Administration announced it has appointed Thom Mayne, FAIA,
to the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities last
month. Mayne is a Pritzker Prize winner, and founder of Los Angeles-based
Morphosis Architects. He is also co-founder of the Southern California
Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) and a professor at the UCLA Architecture
and Urban Design school. Initially regarded as an avant-garde and
experimental architect, Mayne has completed a number of large public
buildings for the General Services Administration that have been
rewarded with its Design Excellence awards program. Some of his most
notable buildings include the Wayne Lyman Morse United States Courthouse
in Eugene, Ore., the NOAA Satellite Operations Facility in Suitland,
Md., 41 Cooper Square in New York, and the San Francisco Federal
Building.
 The AIA Guide to New York City: In Search
of Green Places
To prepare for publishing the fifth edition of the AIA Guide to New
York City in 2010, we’ve walked and driven countless streets
in the five boroughs in search of interesting new buildings to
include. There have been some big changes since the last edition
nine years ago, not only the staggering number of new buildings,
but also the fact that so many of them are proudly marketed as
green.
