Brightly Painted Corpses - Architects of Misery
We are the architects of our own misery. Monuments of failure so high that they once eclipsed the sun. Awaiting perdition, we relish our art. Insatiable hunger for self destruction and the...

Architects from Lincoln and Omaha spoke against a plan to merge the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Architecture into the Hixson-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts during the public comment portion of Friday's Board of Regents meeting.
Proposed by Chancellor Harvey Perlman last year, the merger would create a School of Architecture -- led by a director rather than a dean -- within the renamed Hixson-Lied College of the Arts and Architecture.
UNL administrators planned to carry out the merger later this year, but regents said they were not ready to make a decision on the future of the college, citing a need for more information.
Several architects stood in opposition to the proposal Friday, saying it would negatively affect the quality of education provided at the college and UNLs ability to produce graduates capable of getting jobs with top Nebraska firms.
Patrick McDermott, a 1968 UNL graduate, said it'simportant that regents approach a potential merger with caution. Four decades ago, he said, the Board of Regents turned down a proposed merger between the College of Architecture and the College of Engineering.
Specifically, McDermott said the cost savings of no longer having a dean of architecture would be far outweighed by a future in which less-skilled architecture graduates are entering the workforce.
This decision may also traumatically impact the quality of student the university is able to attract in the future, as well as the quality of faculty that the university is able to retain, he said. Nothing happens at a university without strong faculty.
Striving for an independent college that continues to produce highly sought graduates should be UNLs goal, McDermott added. Now, UNL graduates collectively rank ninth among architecture graduates nationwide on licensing exam scores.
Dan Spiry, senior principal at BVH Architects, said his initial reaction to the proposed merger was disappointment -- not in joining the fine and performing arts college -- but in the perception that architecture is not a discipline distinct from other arts.
I get it when I put on my management hat, I understand the need to establish priorities and use resources wisely, Spiry said. I think architecture is a unique profession and for that reason I think it's best they stand alone and make themselves relevant and distinguish themselves among the community of the university.

Charleston firm ZMM Architects and Engineers won an honor award from the American Institute of Architecture on Saturday for designing Edgewood Elementary. The $22 million school is designed to serve as a learning tool, and utilizes bright colors and flexible spaces to excite students and encourage group work.
Seven West Virginia buildings, including a Charleston elementary school and a visual arts center in Huntington, were honored with awards from the American Institute of Architects at its dinner for the West Virginia Design Awards Saturday evening.
The awards highlight the good work that goes on in the industry each year, said Johnathan Adler with the AIA West Virginia chapter.
Buildings are what excite people, thats what brings people here, Adler said. Buildings are the face of the community.
The entries were judged by a jury lead by Pittsburgh-based architect Rob Pfaffmann.
The West Virginia chapter of the AIA has about 250 members, of which around 200 are architects.
Only one out-of-state firm won an award. Maryland-based GriD Architects earned one of three honor awards, the organizations highest honor, for a vacation home in Berkeley County.
Charleston-based ZMM Architects and Engineers won an honor award for Edgewood Elementary. Firm principal David Ferguson said the building is different than other schools.
Kanawha County wanted a school that was completely different, Ferguson said.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Architects from Lincoln and Omaha are speaking out against a plan to merge the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Architecture into the universitys Hixson-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts.
Several architects spoke against the plan during Fridays university Board of Regents meeting, the Lincoln Journal Star reported (http://bit.ly/1z60sfu ). They said the move would negatively affect the quality of education provided at the college and UNLs ability to produce graduates capable of getting jobs with top firms.
UNL College of Architecture graduates currently rank ninth among architecture graduates nationwide on licensing exam scores, said Patrick McDermott, a 1968 graduate of the college.
The cost savings of no longer having a dean of architecture would not be worth the risk of having less-skilled architecture graduates enter the workforce, he said.
This decision may also traumatically impact the quality of student the university is able to attract in the future, as well as the quality of faculty that the university is able to retain, McDermott said. Nothing happens at a university without strong faculty.
Dan Spiry, senior principal at BVH Architects in Omaha, said hes disappointed by the perception among the universitys leadership that architecture is not a discipline distinct from other arts.
I think architecture is a unique profession, and for that reason I think its best they stand alone and make themselves relevant and distinguish themselves among the community of the university, Spiry said.
Merle Bachman, a member of the College of Architectures professional advisory council, also called the merger a bad idea.
While both deal with aesthetics, there is no connection after that, he said. Architecture will lose a dean to a lesser position of a director who will be less experienced and less connected to the profession thats getting relegated to second tier.
The merger was proposed last year by Chancellor Harvey Perlman. The new merged college would be named the Hixson-Lied College of the Arts and Architecture.

Moscow Commercial Real Estate Construction May Fall Threefold
OWOSSO (WJRT) - (04/10/15) Some Owosso eyesores will be demolished soon to make way for a new restaurant and retail center.
Owosso business leaders say the construction project is more proof that the city's economy is picking up steam.
On the east side of Owosso, at M-21 at Gould Street, sits a former dry cleaner and three run-down houses. Those will be demolished soon.
Commercial development continues to work its way from the outskirts of town toward downtown Owosso.
"Qdoba's going to be the anchor tenet there and then they're going to have a couple of other retail spaces as well," said Jeff Deason, of the Shiawassee Regional Chamber of Commerce.
The Eastside Cleaners will be demolished, as will three houses to the west.
"We also had the Habitat for Humanity folks go in and take out everything that could be used again," Deason said.
Slowly, some of the less attractive buildings in Owosso are being replaced.
"I think that people are starting to see that coming into your town, making sure that the homes and businesses as you enter the town look good, are neat and well kept," Deason said.
The past year has seen the Owosso area economy come roaring back. Unemployment is way down.
