RESPECTFUL REMODEL
by ArchitectureWeek
http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2004/today.html
http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2004/1117/design_1-1.html

In an era when the fabric of traditional neighborhoods
is being torn so that grotesquely oversized houses can
be squeezed into normal-sized lots, at least one firm
in Maryland is doing it differently. GTM Architects
renovated and expanded the home of firm founder George
Myers, and in its detailing showed respect for the
century-old neighborhood.

Although the "new" house is much larger than the
original, the historically detailed expansion is
tastefully tucked into its site without imposing on the
local ambience. "We are finding that a significant
trend in modern residential home design," says Myers,
"is an expansion that masks the actual size of the
addition."

GTM has completed numerous renovations to the
traditionally styled 1930s-era houses that are common
in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. The firm is
developing strategies to expand these old houses in
ways that preserve the original charm of the exterior
and the neighborhood.

Schools Our Kids Would Build
by Catherine Burke and Ian Grosvenor
http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2004/1117/culture_1-1.html

In 1967, and again in 2001, British schoolchildren were
invited to submit their ideas to a competition "The
School I'd Like." In their drawings and poems, they
expressed the desire for schools that are attractive,
safe, flexible, relevant, and respectful. This review
of the archived results suggests that architects could
benefit from understanding these children's visions.
