Renovations at Penn-Trafford High School could begin in May 2014.

But for now, architects and a construction firm are working on designs for the project that will consist mainly of piping, wiring and duct work.

There's not a whole lot of glitz, said Daniel Kiefer, preconstruction director with Massaro Construction Management Services in Pittsburgh. It's a lot of important things, but it's a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff.

Kiefer and principal architect Hank Tkacik with Axis Architecture in North Huntingdon presented the school board and officials with a tentative timeline Monday night for the proposed renovations. The high school was built in 1972 and renovated in 1996.

Directors approved in November the borrowing of $9.5 million to put toward what could be a $30 million project at the high school.

Kiefer and Tkacik said they have monthly meetings with district administrators to keep up with the tentative timeline and create a design that meets the district's needs. Tkacik said the renovations would take about two years.

Community input has played a big role in the design phase, which is ongoing, he said.

Superintendent Thomas Butler said he is pleased with the progress thus far.

Once it's more definite, we'll set up a time to have (the public) come in and look at the plans, he said.

Karissa Pytlak landed her dream job as an architect just about a year ago.

She never expected there'd be so much sugar, flour and frosting involved.

No one told her she'd be mixing it up with clients over sweets and pastries.

But that's exactly what has been happening the past few weeks.

She's on one of five teams of architects and bakers who have been beating eggs and whisking batter, hoping to win what the Heinz Architectural Center is calling CAKEitecture.

The pastry competition will help the center mark its 20th anniversary this year. A winner will be crowned Saturday.

All I knew was we'd want a cake to celebrate. It's a birthday, after all, says Tracy Myers, the center's curator of architecture.

The idea grew from there. And so have the cakes.

Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater never looked so delicious, with its buttery poundcake walls and white buttercream icing fountains.

The Royal Institute of British Architects has awarded Peter Zumthor the Royal Gold Medal, the U.K.'s most prestigious architecture prize.

The Swiss architect boasts projects ranging from Steilneset Memorial, an Arctic Circle monument to the victims of witch trials that designed with artist Louise Bourgeois, to an English home for philosopher Alain de Botton's Living Architecture holiday-home scheme. Zumthor's best-loved works include the Kunsthaus Bregenz in Austria, the Therme Vals in Switzerland, and the Kolumba Art Museum in Germany.

But Zumthor is loved best because he has built so few works. With some 20 projects to his name, he has built a career defined as much by his careful selection of commissions as by his execution of projects. By his selection of materials, Zumthor's projects tends to engage many senses; by his selection of clients, he has cultivated an exacting vision for his work.

Oliver Wainwright, the architecture critic for The Guardian, describes Zumthor as possessing "an aura greater than any other living practitioner, of a weight heavier than any gong could bestow." Now there is one more reason to envy him.

Personally approved by Her Royal Majesty the Queen, the Royal Gold Medal has been awarded to such architects as Le Corbusier, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Oscar Niemeyer, and Frank Gehry, FAIA.

A group of young Saskatoon architects has a new vision for the derelict Traffic Bridge.

Instead of carrying cars, their new Traffic Bridge would be more like a public park that zigzags across the river. There would be a zip line connecting the bridge to Rotary Park, a vertical garden where people could grow vegetables and glass portholes so they could see the rushing river below. The bridge, in their minds, is more than simply a way to get across the river.

"We have the amazing river valley - it's one of the things that defines Saskatoon," said Victoria Yong-Hing, one of five members of Open, the design collaborative behind the reimagined Traffic Bridge.

"So why can't we design something where you can really experience and really enjoy it?"

While it is the brainchild of working architects, Open is not a design firm and it is not formally pitching its Traffic Bridge ideas to the City of Saskatoon. Its founders are in their early 30s and describe themselves as nothing more "than a collection of like-minded individuals" working on architecture designs in their spare time.

"I always kind of feel like we are in a band," Brad Pickard, another Open member, said. "When we have Skype conversations, we are jamming. It does feel like that."

Mayor Don Atchison has promised a new Traffic Bridge that will carry vehicles and council has approved plans for a $30-million replica bridge, but there is no funding in place.

The bridge closed in 2010 because of safety concerns. In the meantime, people like the architects in Open have been dreaming.

Despite the professional-looking concept drawings on its website, the group is aware there is no money and little tangible interest in making its Traffic Bridge vision a reality.

"Our group is about getting ideas out there through images. We want the public to see what the bridge could become," said Mark Sin, another member behind the concept drawings.
