Walter Mugdan, the EPA Region 2&#8242;s Director of the Emergency and Remedial Response Division announced that the agency was on schedule with the remedial investigation and feasibility study of the Gowanus Canal Superfund site and that the proposed plan, which will identify the Agency’s preferred cleanup option, will be unveiled later this year. Once the proposed plan is published, there will be a public comment period followed by a selection of the &#8230; <a href="http://www.lociarchitecture.com/archives/1341">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last night, the team went out on the first of our (hopefully) regular bowling nights. We have been talking about this for a while in the office. We finally found a night that Emily wasn’t studying and before Ed’s baby is born that we could all go out together. Dave showed up to work yesterday quite sick and didn’t end up coming out; we really did miss him as we had all been looking forward to not only a fun night out, but some friendly competition with the boss. We also couldn’t help joking that his sickness was psychosomatic as &#8230; <a href="http://www.lociarchitecture.com/archives/1306">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Francis Kéré lecture hosted by the Architectural League of New York on February 9th gave me a thought about the complexity of architecture. Francis Kéré&#8217;s work in Burkina Faso is extraordinary for its social impact, use of local resources and pureness of aesthetic. It is also extraordinary how simple and transparent his work is. Mainly centered in his home village of Gando, he provides new school facilities and teacher housing for the community. Born to a father who was chief of the village and given the opportunity to study in Germany, Kéré is able to blend Western architectural thought &#8230; <a href="http://www.lociarchitecture.com/archives/1295">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Three years ago, we started what we believed was a small interior renovation of a penthouse apartment downtown. As the project developed, the scope increased significantly; a second phase was added with a new glass enclosed stair, bedroom addition, and rooftop terrace. For the past several weeks everyone has made an incredible push to complete the interiors in time for the client&#8217;s arrival. The family spent their first night in the apartment last week. Towards the end, we were in the apartment every day and the site was overflowing with different trades. It is reminiscent of the joke about how &#8230; <a href="http://www.lociarchitecture.com/archives/1256">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I moved to Brooklyn in 1988, I noticed something strange – when telling my neighbors that I had a position at a firm in Manhattan, the inevitable response would be along the lines of, “Oh, so you work in the city?” I was confused since it implied that I was living outside of the city and the urban credentials that I was cultivating were not completely authentic. Little did I know that when I lived on the Upper West Side in 1983-84, and later on the Lower East Side, I had occupied a privileged position. Manhattan was the star &#8230; <a href="http://www.lociarchitecture.com/archives/1125">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, Loci Architecture unveiled an updated and expanded web site. It is a part of greater consideration for who and what Loci Architecture represents. This is an effort to improve how our philosophy is brought forth to others. For many companies, teams, and individuals, the web site is intended to go beyond the physical, or every day, world. Web sites operate continuously, without interruption, reaching distant audiences and carrying a global presence. As such, it is a completely distinct world – a digital world. One achievable with technology and poised with the limitless possibility of our imagination. This world is &#8230; <a href="http://www.lociarchitecture.com/archives/1105">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There have been several occasions on various projects where the topic of vapor barriers and vapor permeable air barriers has come up. The attached articles are good primers on the subject and should be read. The design concepts explained in the articles will assist us in determining where and when to apply vapor barriers and air barriers, and how they relate to the rest of the wall, roof and sub-grade assembly materials, as well as the various intersection components like flashing and sealants. Also related to this topic is the term &#8216;waterproofing&#8217;.

		<description><![CDATA[As a way to summarize and recap the final two days of Greenbuild and the conference overall, I&#8217;ve outlined a number of recurring ideas and themes that appeared in a number of speeches, discussions, talks and conversations throughout the conference. - Cradle-to-gate: as in that part of the Life Cycle of a material or product that occurs from the point of its extraction as a raw material to the point where it arrives in a building site, including any manufacturing or processing. This concept was discussed in a number of instances and mentioned by architects, engineers and product manufacturers as &#8230; <a href="http://www.lociarchitecture.com/archives/956">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Day 1&#160; Wednesday’s highlights included the opening of the Exhibition Halls. It seems as though every company imaginable that is involved in the design, building and construction industries has some sort of display. DiRTT, Centria, and Richlite’s stand out, as well as the number of engineered and composite wood products.  Also, standing out is the sheer number of people, businesses and organization participating in this 2011 Greenbuild. Downtown Toronto is teeming with Greenbuild participants with their badges and bright green tote bags.&#160; The Living Building Challenge was the subject of a particularly interesting and insightful Education Session in the afternoon. &#8230; <a href="http://www.lociarchitecture.com/archives/940">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, my office visited a NYC Parks Department Five Borough Administrative Building on Randall’s Island to see an ongoing experiment in green roof installations. Admittedly, we did not know what to expect and thought at best we might see a few planters with sedum and flowers. We were pleasantly surprised and even a bit overwhelmed by what we encountered. When we arrived, John Robilotti, a Senior Project Manager for the Parks Department with a background in horticulture, gave us a Power Point presentation on the green roof installations and described how he started the program a few &#8230; <a href="http://www.lociarchitecture.com/archives/619">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
