Extractions: California Architecture Awards continued Lifetime Achievement Awards for Distinguished Service went to architect Chester A. Widom, FAIA , of Santa Monica for his contributions to the AIA and the profession, and to the renowned photographer and recorder of modern architecture, Julius Shulman Honor Awards One of the six projects receiving an honor award was the South Coast Plaza Pedestrian Bridge, a collaboration between architects Ellerbe Becket , landscape architects Anderson and Ray, and environmental artist Kathryn Gustafson. The "bridge of gardens" connects two shopping complexes. Constructed of stainless and galvanized steel, with a partially covered canopy, the curving three-story, 600-foot- (183-meter-) long bridge was designed to suggest a winged bird in flight. The design jury liked the garden terrace aspect of the structure and commented that the landscaping across the top of a roadway was "powerful, interesting, and unique." Another honor award went to the San Francisco office of Ellerbe Becket for the Metro Red Line Vermont/Santa Monica Station, which was designed by architect Mehrdad Yazdani, now of the Los Angeles firm Cannon Dworsky. This station, part of the expanding subway system in Los Angeles, consists of an urban transit plaza and subterranean ticketing mezzanine and train platform.

E. Wyllys This lesson discusses ideas associated with the phrase "information architecture" and relates them to aspects of the library- and information-science (LIS) professions. Wurman views architecture as the science and art of creating an "instruction for organized space." (See Endnote 1.) He sees the problems of gathering, organizing, and presenting information as closely analogous to the problems an architect faces in designing a building that will serve the needs of its occupants. The architect must ascertain those needs (i.e., must gather information about the needs)

Albert , Los Angeles EMC, California, 1-213-362-4960, Mike.Albert@pbdmjm.com Well into the design and construction of the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority Red Line Subway (MRL) system, the Authority made two important determinations: The MRL control center should be moved from the planned location at the Red Line yards and shops near downtown Los Angeles to a new, combined rail operations center at Willowbrook, adjacent to the intersection of the Blue Line and Green Line light rail transit (LRT) systems. This move would permit the Authority to consolidate all rail operations at a single location and make more efficient use of rail qualified personnel. The communications needs of the MRL system could be handled throughout its design lifetime by adding a 48-core fiber cable to the 24-core Blue Line cable. The additional cable would run from the intersection of the Red Line Subway and Blue Line LRT to the Willowbrook location, approximately 18 km (11 miles) south from the MRL.

Extractions: "Restoration of Olmsted's Emerald Necklace fits modern management practices into a historical context" by Kim A. O'Connell In October 1996, residents along the Muddy River, located between the city of Boston and the town of Brookline, Massachusetts, witnessed something they had never seen in their lifetimes. Incessant rain had caused the normally placid waterway to rise to record levels, overflowing its shallow banks and coursing into buildings and streets. Although residents had had flooded basements before, they were shocked to discover that water had poured into the subway system, completely inundating the Kenmore station and waterlogging other stations as well. In three short days, between 7 and 11 inches of rain fell, resulting in more than $70million in damage. A similarly damaging rainstorm hit the area in September 1998.

Extractions: "Queens Plaza is a densely populated , densely layered system of exchange. It is a topology of networks in which communication and correspondence become essential to its operation. It functions primarily as an intensely regulated transportation hub, mediating between wildly differing modes, speeds, and scales. Mutable and scale-less, each surface contains, absorbs, and disseminates information. Together, these surfaces become both a landscape of interrelated movements and a complex matrix of the connective potentials of structural, programmatic, and topological qualities. These connections and overlaps between different parties, functions, locations and topologies enable a new, vital communication system. They are interwoven to create both effective flux and effective interaction. Holes and gaps in these surfaces, such as elevators and escalators, enable a system of short circuits to take place, enabling high-velocity informational junctures." Martha Merzig and John Riker are currently fifth-year BArch thesis students in the School of Architecture at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Their entry was part of a competition studio advised by Galia Solomonoff of OpenOffice.

The technology showcase announced today illustrates how the Appear Provisioning Server 2.0 and Intels wireless LAN technology can be used to bring a range of exciting applications to a wireless business environment. With a showcase of messaging applications, advanced navigation applications and rich-media games, the demonstration illustrates over-the-air delivery of location-specifc and stand-alone applications over a local Intel® Pro/Wireless LAN 802.11b network. The advanced navigation application includes a clickable map of the Stockholm subway system with the full timetable. Per Stein, Manager of Intel Wireless Competence Center, comments: Mobile users want to run applications locally, connected to the WLAN as well as offline. By using the Appear Provisioning Server, applications can be provisioned to a whole range of mobile devices over IP based networks, whether it is Wireless LAN 802.11a or b, Bluetooth, GPRS or UMTS. Intel® PCA provides an architecture for mobile devices where applications can be downloaded and executed locally, connected or offline.

Extractions: Peter Doroshenko: Over the last twenty-five years you have examined architecture and urban planning in both your art work and critical writing. How is New York City changing as an urban center? Dan Graham: New York is slowly becoming suburbanized. Besides the large city-operated parks, I have been fascinated over the years by the corporate make-overs of open public spaces, such as the botanical garden inside the Chemical Bank headquarters on Park Avenue or the IBM Building atrium on Madison Avenue and 57th Street. This was the very beginning of the suburbanization of New York. The gardens and atriums these corporations built, as part of larger complexes, were an attempt to have a controlled, semipublic green space, to keep people in the city. Doroshenko: Are there any successful corporate arcadias? Graham: The Ford Foundation Building designed by Kevin Roche and the building's landscaped atrium garden designed by Dan Kiley is the best example of an ecologically balance public space. It is a very classical modernist space, but very ahead of its time, since all of the plants use rain collected from the roof and condensed stream collected in a cistern. Each office has a sliding door onto the atrium and it creates a sense of common purpose. Doroshenko: Once homogeneous, the suburbs have taken landscape architecture further along than New York has. Is this the missing component in the large city projects?
