What Architects Do - Video
Pyongyang, March 27 (KCNA) -- The Architects Union of Korea marked its 60th anniversary.
The Union is a social organization of architects and construction technicians of the DPRK aimed at equipping its members with the Juche-based idea and theory of architecture of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) and working hard for their materialization.
Covering six decades of its glorious path since its foundation, the union has left shinning traces in the history of the development of Juche-oriented architecture.
It has effectively organized the May 21 Architectural Festivals and the Symposiums on Architectural Beauty and conducted the work for disseminating advanced science and technology in diverse forms and methods, putting strong spurs to the nation's development of architectural technology.
Its members have invented a lot of peculiar designs, advanced construction methods and technologies of producing building materials, contributing to making a new history of Juche-based popular architecture.
In recent years they have provided a scientific and technological guarantee for the work of building grand monumental structures representing the present era and turning urban and rural areas into socialist fairylands and contributed to ushering in a heyday of construction.
The union has positively conducted the work with architects unions in other countries including the International Union of Architects.
A meeting took place at the People's Palace of Culture on Wednesday to observe the anniversary.
Present there were Kwak Pom Gi, secretary of the Central Committee of the WPK, Kwon Song Ho, minister of State Construction Control, Tong Jong Ho, minister of Construction and Building-Materials Industry, Kang Yong Su, minister of Urban Management, Kim Kyong Jun, minister of Land and Environment Protection, members of the Central Committee of the union, officials concerned, exemplary members of the union and designers, builders, teachers and students in the field of construction and relevant fields.
A congratulatory message of the Central Committee of the WPK to the officials and members of the union was conveyed at the meeting.
Century Properties Group, Inc. has opened Century City Mall, the listed property firms first retail development within the master-planned development Century City in Kalayaan Avenue, Makati.
This retail development, with a construction cost of P1.4-billion, is the newest mall to open in Makati City in close to 10 years, and is called the Mall of Modern Makati for its unique architecture and good mix of Filipino and global retail and dining establishments.
Century City Mall serves as an exciting new complement to the current retail centers in Makati City. The general reception during our soft launch last month showed that people are very much open to new retail concepts and are excited to see a public space that is architecturally distinct, said Mr. Graham Coates, the General Manager of Century City Mall.
At the malls ribbon cutting ceremony on Monday, Coates was joined by Century Properties Chairman Jose E.B. Antonio and wife Ms. Hilda Reyes Antonio, Chief Operating Officer Marco R. Antonio, Makati City Mayor Jejomar Erwin Binay, Jr. and Rep. Monique Lagdameo of the First District of Makati.
Century City Mall is one of four developments that Century Properties has scheduled for completion in 2014, along with the recently-turned over St. Tropez tower and Paris Beach Club at the Azure Urban Resort Residences in Paraaque City, and Centuria Medical Makati, which will be completed by the end of the year.
Century City Mall is a key addition to the companys 3.4-hectare master-planned Makati development, Century City, which is home to Century Properties upscale high-rise residential and office structures the Gramercy Residences, Knightsbridge Residences, Milano Residences, Trump Tower, Century Spire, Forbes Media Tower, and the IT-medical outpatient building Centuria Medical Makati.
The five-level lifestyle center has a gross floor area of 50,000 square meters and 17,000 square meters of net leasable space, of which 99% has been leased out.
Century City Mall forms part of Century Properties pipeline of projects that are expected to transform the Company from being a premiere residential developer to a more diversified property company that will have significant recurring revenue streams in the near to mid-term.
Century City Mall is accessible via Kalayaan Avenue near the corner of Salamanca Street, as well as General Luna Street coming from Makati Avenue (near A Venue). Valet services are available and three basement floors are open for visitors parking.
Free Wi-Fi service is available throughout the mall.

Plans for the empty building at 10 Front Street include splitting the space into multiple retail, office and residential spaces.

Plans for Front Streets only vacant building could breathe new life into the historic structure and offer multiple retail and office spaces in the commercial district.
Proposed changes to the old Mad Crab building, owned by Thom Kroon, include a mixed use of retail, office and residential space.
Kroons proposal calls for the creation of four spaces on the street level floor, two retail and two retail/office spaces. The floor below street level, which was once a bar, is proposed to be turned into two spaces, one residential and one undetermined use, said Coupeville Town Planner Bridget Smith. An attic space on the third level is also proposed to be turned into a residential space.
The project has been informally presented to the Historic Preservation Commission, but will be presented formally in April.
Smith said the next meeting of the HPC is Thursday, April 24, but if a meeting is called earlier she will present the proposal then.
Former Coupeville Town Planner Larry Kwarsick is serving as the applicant agent on the project.
He said in addition to getting approved by the HPC, the project must also obtain a shoreline substantial development permit.
There is no expansion of the building footprint or height being proposed, Kwarsick said, and the project does come with a new stairway to the beach that will be available for the public.

Douthit Hills and Core Campus
New construction awaits state approval.
Clemson University recently announced plans to provide new housing and dining options through new construction at Douthit Hills and Core Campus; the project, pending state approval, will begin in fall of 2014 with the replacement of historic Johnstone Hall and the addition of upper-classmen and Bridge student housing options.
These plans were first introduced in 2008 with the development of a 20 year Housing Master Plan, with Douthit Hills and Core Campus designated as the first construction projects.
Douthit Hills is planned to provide apartment-style living for upperclassmen and more traditional dorm options for Bridge to Clemson students in the area behind Clemson House; it will also potentially include new dining options, retail space and the bookstore, relocated from its current home in the Hendrix Student Center.
Core Campus, an area geared toward underclassmen, will also receive new housing and dining options, specifically new construction to replace Harcombe Dining Hall and Johnstone Hall. According to University Housing and Dining, a current lack of funds has prevented plans to replace the Edgar Allen Brown University Union.
University Housing and Dining spearheaded the project, with support from university administrators, consultants, and Campus Planning and Design. Joy Moss, director of business operations for Housing and Dining, reports, University Housing has been at the center of these projects and continues to provide direction and momentum to see these projects for life.
Clemson University Student Government has also played a role in the project, with former Undergraduate Student Body President Kayley Seawright encouraging students to tweet the hashtag #ClemsonNeeds in order to show their support for the new renovations and construction.
Underclassmen students, many of whom will be on campus for the construction and completion of the new buildings, look forward to their new housing and dining options. Freshman microbiology major Courtney Hundsinki says in reference to the future hoptions at Douthit Hills, I like the idea, I like that its so close on campus. I mean its basically like Daniel Square, where its off campus but youre still so close you can walk home from game days and everything. I think Ill definitely consider it.
Many graduating upperclassmen also agree about the benefits of the project. Senior computer science and English double major Jeff Kinnison jokes, Honestly, Im a little annoyed, because how dare they improve campus after Im gone ... But really, its good that theyre actually doing stuff to make the campus better for future generations of Tigers.

OLIVE BRANCH, Miss. (AP) - Olive Branch Middle School will get a face-lift as part of a routine upgrade process for schools throughout the DeSoto County system.
DeSoto School Board members hired Allen & Hoshall for architectural services related to the project, for which no cost or timetable has been determined.
The Commercial Appeal reports (http://bit.ly/1mwtYIR ) plans are to replace floor and ceiling tiles in classrooms, and paint and replace old chalkboards and whiteboards with up-to-date equipment.
Physical plant director Jerry White says the district, with 40-plus schools spread throughout the county, chooses a different school each year to be updated and Olive Branch Middle is this years target.
White says the district had spent the past two years getting Horn Lake Middle up to date, and Oak Grove Central Elementary in Hernando before that.

Olive Branch Middle School to get upgrade
Cambridge, Maryland (PRWEB) March 27, 2014
Cambridge Architectural, the worlds largest full-service provider of sustainable architectural mesh systems for building applications, is seeing an increase in college and university construction projects that incorporate stainless mesh as both a distinctive design element and a cost-effective solution for achieving energy savings.
Moreno Valley College The latest Cambridge campus project is the new Student Academic Services Building at Moreno Valley College in Moreno Valley, California. The school is part of the Riverside Community College District.
Three large Mid Balance mesh panels etched with MVC lettering were hung in January on a 35-foot glass curtain wall covering the exterior of the buildings 6,000 square-foot assembly area that provides a northern view of the surrounding San Bernardino Mountains. In addition to being a striking visual display, the stainless steel mesh panels act as a sustainable building faade, providing significant solar shading and daylighting benefits. Architects were DLR Group WWCOT and the general contractor was C.W. Driver. Columbia Steel installed the mesh.
2014 Cambridge Architectural Campus Projects Three additional Cambridge projects are under way on college and university campuses this year: Cecil Community College Engineering and Math Building, Elkton, Maryland; University of California Santa Barbara Davidson Library; and North Carolina A & T State University Student Health Center, Greensboro, North Carolina.
The renewed growth in campus construction reflects an anticipated rise in higher education enrollment as institutions of higher learning invest in facilities to attract students and remain competitive in the education marketplace.
The Projections of Education Statistics 2022 published in February 2014 by the National Center for Education Statistics predicts a 14 percent increase in full and part-time enrollment at post-secondary degree-granting institutions of higher learning between 2011 and 2022.
Concurrently, the College Planning & Management 2014 Construction Report, also released in February, tallies 2013 U.S. campus construction and retrofit spending at $10.9 billion, up 12.4 percent from 2012.
Students are gravitating toward college campuses where attention is paid to facility aesthetics, comfort and environmentally responsible green design, and thats good news for those of us in the metal mesh fabrication business, said Matt Aebischer, Managing Director, Cambridge Architectural. In an environment where universities are striving to communicate their identities and commitment to excellence, woven mesh can broaden an architects creative palate, while achieving functional objectives such as daylighting, solar shading, glare reduction and ventilation.
Other recently completed Cambridge Architectural college campus projects include:
