Today's News - November 12, 2002

We lose a master of interior design. -- In LA, the buildings are great, but views need improving. -- Island plans in Israel. -- Tower plan for lower Manhattan: "There is no better combination for urban living than being near the streets of Manhattan and close to heaven." -- Schools designed to serve the community. -- Exhibitions in New York, Pittsburgh, and Jerusalem worth a look. -- Cheers for a new stadium: "architectural equivalent of a slam-dunk." -- Nothing new about subdivisions except a focus on creating sustainable communities. -- Moscow loves malls. -- Toronto respects its (fairly recent) architectural history…and much more.
