Palatine Fire Station 85 will not move next to village hall, officials decided late last year, but the cost and overall square footage for the remaining village hall project is expected to remain the same.

Village councilmen Monday night accepted a revised village hall remodel design by Wold Architects. Councilmen also directed Village Manager Reid Ottesen to negotiate the remaining architectural services contract.

Gigaom Research webinar: network architects perceptions of the cloud, SDN and the future of networking

HARRISONBURG, Va.--- The architects working on the construction of a new school in Harrisonburg presented four options to the school board on Tuesday.

The new school attempts to make room for more students in the future. According to a Weldon Cooper Center projection, the number of students from kindergarten to 12th grade is expected to increase by 16.9 percent by 2018. Currently, there are 5,131 students in K-12, that number is expected to be closer to 6,000 in 2018.

Most of the options introduced by Crabtree, Rohrbaugh & Associates Architects would have construction costs of up to $44 million.

The first option would keep Thomas Harrison as a middle school and renovate it. The school board could choose between two upgrades. One of the upgrades would cost up to nearly $3.3 million. The second one could cost $4.8 million.

The second option would renovate THMS and build a new pre-kindergarten to 5th grade elementary school on an 11-acre site on Garbers Church road.

The third option would convert THMS to a pre-k to 5th elementary school. It would construct a new 900-student middle school.

Option four would convert THMS to a pre-k to 5th elementary school and build a new 1,100-student middle school.

Neighbors like Susan Dinsmore said the road is too busy and other neighbors ask the board to look into other costs before deciding.

"If they don't know the life cycle of the building to make an appropriate decision about how much they would spend on the building because what is important is the annual cost of operating and maintaining that building," said Tom Domonoske.

The architects favor option number four. This one could cost between $41 million to $44 million.

Architects Discuss Options for New School

Junya Ishigami, one of Japan's youngest and brightest architects will visit Sydney this week to deliver a one-off public lecture at the University of Sydney on Friday 7 February.

Considered one of the most controversial architects in the last ten years, Junya Ishigami is known for his exceptionally delicate, artistic works that redefine an intimate relationship between art and architecture.

Dr Peter Armstrong, Senior Lecturer, Faculty of Architecture, Design and Planning is full of praise of Ishigami's forward thinking work: "In the unstable world of threatening environmental and economic disaster, Ishigami has created masterly buildings that respond to place and time, a veritable architecture of the floating world."

In just over a decade, Junya Ishigami has built a prolific body of international work that extends across buildings, landscape, installations and furniture. He has earned an enviable list of international awards and has participated in several prestigious exhibitions including the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2008 and 2010.

In 2008 Junya Ishigami completed his first building, the Kanagawa Institute of Technology's KAIT Workshop, a floor to ceiling, glass-enclosed, rectangular structure in which the interior space is divided by 305 slender pillars. He also completed the Yohji Yamamoto New York flagship boutique, located on a narrow triangular site in lower Manhattan. His radical design saw the existing building split in two to create a pedestrian way, connecting the two streets.

He is possibly best known for his art installation 'Balloon', a helium filled, floating, steel-like structure that is the size of a five-storey building, which to the visitor's eye is seemingly heavy, yet is set afloat within the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo.

Junya Ishigami will deliver his first public lecture at the University of Sydney for industry and staff and students from the Faculty of Architecture, Design and Planning. The architect will give a personal insight to projects from his early years and more recent signature works.

About Junya Ishigami

Born in Kanagawa, Japan, Junya Ishigami graduated in 2000 from Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music with an MFA in Architecture. He joined the office of Kazuyo Sejima & Associates in the same year. Then in 2004, he established his own practice Junya Ishigami + Associates in Tokyo.

His office has won several awards including the Lakov Chernikhov International Prize for Young Architects (2008), the Architectural Institute of Japan Prize (2009) for KAIT Workshop, and the Golden Lion for the Best Project of the 12th International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale for "Architecture as Air: Study for Chateau la Coste" (2010).

MANCHESTER Architects this week presented designs and cost estimates for the expansion of Waddell Elementary one of several options school officials are exploring as they wrestle with a comprehensive building renovation plan.

The plan would involve expanding the school to accommodate up to 530 students and modifying the site to address traffic issues.

Education officials asked the architects to undertake the study after they heard strong community opposition to closing Waddell, which was among the recommendations made by the School Modernization and Reinvestment Team Revisited.
