Today’s News - Wednesday, April 3, 2002

This week's newest featured project is in Scotland: architect Mark Walker's own residence. You'd never know it's only an hour from Glasgow and Edinburgh - and 25 minutes from some very fine golf courses. (Click on "Home" above.) The ANN News column on the home page lists the most recent news stories posted by ArchNewsNow staff (and a number of new listings have been added to the calendar). Our sincerest thanks to Calori & Vanden-Eynden Design Consultants for the dramatic ArchNewsNow logo and evolving Web site design (check out the C&V-E link at the bottom of the home page).
