The Whole Story
Apr 21st, 2009 by mark attard
In thinking about my first post I wanted to broach a topic that would span two areas that I am passionate about the environment and building. Specifically, how environmentally responsible construction relates to the design process and management of the project. Issues of green building and sustainability go beyond what type of products are installed in a building and whether the building is energy efficient to how do we arrive at what we are building and is it the best design for the lifestyle of the occupants and does it meet budgetary concerns.

Denver: Farmer’s Market Design Competition
Mar 19th, 2009 by NFiore
The image above is borrowed from the support materials for a design competition in the West Highland neighborhood of Denver, the Farmer’s Market Design Competition. An interesting challenge is proposed: design a multi-use transformable space, include storage and facilities (bathrooms), and be sure that the design is flexible. Ideas for program include a traditional farmer’s market selling goods and food, community functions such as art displays and gatherings, music events, etc. The site looks tight, and seems to guarantee a challenge - and interesting solutions. The jury is legit, and with so many local designers with time on their hands interest should be very strong. Good luck!
