Don’t Forget the Sun
In the green frenzy currently coursing its way through architecture practice, you might overlook a basic tool that is the key to creating sustainable buildings: the sun, says Contributing Editor Michael J. Crosbie, AIA. With attention focused on such hot-button features as green roofs and biomass, don’t overlook the hottest button of them all. Le Corbusier may have said that architecture is “forms assembled in the light,” but the sun makes architecture more than just sculpture. It pumps through a building’s veins, bringing architecture to life.

From Prosperity Comes Social Responsibility
Leslie Robertson, the renowned engineer, says business is good and he can be somewhat selective with regard to clients. His preference is for developers narrowing the gap between haves and have-nots in society—people who see long-term that it’s good to raise the quality of living and working spaces.
