Fehr Washington Post Staff Writer Sunday, December 18, 1994; Page A01 Packed with Christmas shoppers, a Metro train pulls out of the Montgomery Mall station and crosses the Potomac River into Northern Virginia. "This is the Purple Line to Tysons Corner," the train operator announces. It may seem implausible now, but the idea of a multibillion-dollar Metro line around the 64-mile Capital Beltway is one of several ambitious additions to the regional rail system that planners are studying for the first time. Other ideas include linking the Kennedy Center, George Washington University and Georgetown University; adding a Columbia Pike line in Virginia; building a line between Prince George's County and Alexandria that would cross the Potomac River near the Woodrow Wilson Bridge; and connecting the Farragut North and Farragut West stations with a pedestrian tunnel.

Terry Swack Spring Report Front Page Roundup Fusion, not Confusion Community Building ... Who Owns the Intranet? Designing for Business Success T THE RECENT XNET CONSORTIUM MEETING in Austin TX, digital media visionary and information architecture guru Clement Mok spoke to the audience about design. Specifically, how design is the central part of web site development and usefulness, whether internet, intranet, or extranet. He also discussed how design could be aligned with traditional business metrics. Mok pointed out that design in its most fundamental sense is a metaphor for business. Design is also a process that can be used to help better understand one's business. The process of presenting one's ideas, and of making connections between products and customers is really what good design is all about, according to Mok. But the challenging aspect of design is that it crosses all disciplines in a business, from traditional management, to technology and software programming, to brand and identity management, to how one deals with one's customers. All businesses need to communicate in some fundamental way. For xNet purposes, it may mean communicating human resources information to employees, or coordinating shipping schedules with an outside supplier. What properly executed design helps managers achieve is common language, common process, and common metrics on how to evaluate the value and success of an xNet site.

Eco Architecture by Ysanne Spevack A 'sustainable city' enables all citizens to meet their own needs and to enhance their well-being without damaging the natural world or endangering the living conditions of other people, now or in the future. Nobody needs to leave their apartments for practicalities. Although anachronistic stores continue to peddle desirables, most goods are bought over the internet and delivered by droid. The only packaging options are environmental, the only viable products eco-friendly. People leave their towers for pleasure and communion with other citizens. Great public amphitheatres offer free arts and entertainment of every style. Whilst away from their homes, citizens adjust and interact with their homes using their cellphones and bluetooth technologies. Whilst at the amphitheatre, a citizen can direct their home's hot water system to pour a bath and a cup of tea ready for their return. True democracy has finally been put in motion, with live debates and voting procedures electronically enabled by new email secrecy technology. The old dinosaurs of industry have been transformed by people of conscience inside each institution and by consumer pressure. BP has ditched its fossil fuel arm to concentrate and nurture its more lucrative sustainable fuel programs. Doctors are practitioners of science and shamanism. Their holistic practices incorporate magic bullets and post-laser surgery, non-denominational spiritual healing and new-fashioned herbalism, energy stimulation techniques and understanding. People are healthier as everybody eats organic food either from the countryside or from the city's permaculture sites. With all traffic removed from the streets, citizens have remembered the pleasures of walking the green lanes and cycling to their destinations. Stress levels have been equalised by the more moderate pace, and children are able to play in the streets.

La Cite Internationale de Montreal Editing the Text: Presently the forces critical in projecting urban energy in Montreal are concealed. The underground pedestrian network is partially or completely removed from Montreal's streetscape. Likewise, much of Montreal's highways and subway systems are partially or completely concealed. All of these movement systems are a great source of energy and vitality especially if the connections and interrelationships are made evident in the urban fabric. This design proposal suggests that through a process of partial excavation, these submerged systems and their relationship to one another can be revealed and embellished. Not only will this serve to generate urban energy, but it will help orient both pedestrians and drivers to what at present appears to be an artificial environment.

Recent formal and theoretical trends in architecture would appear to be well positioned to reengage the topic of biomorphic structures and materials in substantive ways. New technologies offer a seemingly unlimited set of possibilities for the retooling of building systems and materials. Nevertheless, contemporary architectures still seem trapped in formal and metaphorical representations of theories of bio-morphology that prevent the realization of its potential.

E. Wyllys Introduction This lesson discusses ideas associated with the phrase "information architecture" and relates them to aspects of the library- and information-science (LIS) professions. Origin of the Phrase, "Information Architecture" Wurman views architecture as the science and art of creating an "instruction for organized space." (See Endnote 1.) He sees the problems of gathering, organizing, and presenting information as closely analogous to the problems an architect faces in designing a building that will serve the needs of its occupants. The architect must ascertain those needs (i.e., must gather information about the needs)

Similarly, the licenciatura degree is achieved for studies in humanities, social sciences or law. One or two years more are required for the maestria, and two or three more for the doctorado. For the latter, oral examinations and a thesis are required. Papers may be assigned during the semester, but term projects and final exams carry the most weight in assigning grades. Professors are accessible to students and class participation is expected. The universities work on a semester basis, and the grading system is from 1 to 10, with 6 as the passing grade. Profile: Academic notes: Class attendance is required in order to receive credit. Several partial tests and a final examination compose the final grade. Seventy (70/100) is the minimum passing grade, not less, as in most Mexican institutions.

Chareau is mainly a designer of interiors and furniture. The house is commissioned by a doctor with the program of both residence and office. The house is situated in an urban construct. It is entered through a narrow passage way which leads to a fore-court. Chareau is concerned by the darkness of the original design. He promotes health, light and ventilation to the owners. The doctor only owns the lower three floors of the five story building. The design evolves into one of considerable lightness and transparency which is made possible by the use of a steel frame. The problem is how to replace the original masonry structure with a new steel structure. The exterior is created by glass lenses. Interior is lit at night by exterior industrial lights creating the aura of sunlight. Windows are steel framed vs. the traditional wooden frame. The window is designed by taking the window design of subway cars, thus an example of using the prototype of subway car windows.

Subways need not be boring or dreary! Many operators of metros, subways or underground railways want to attract more passengers with good station design. This often means extra effort and higher costs for the metro operators but it seems to pay when a metro is more than only a means of traffic but something the population can be proud of. Read below which metro systems double as the world's longest art galleries and in which cities you can see stunning underground palaces, museums, aquariums, an ancient chapel, the world's first example of computer-generated architecture, or simply user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing underground station architecture. Works of art or sophisticated architecture can be delightful, inspiring and thought-provoking for day-to-day commuters as well as an attraction for visitors. There's also evidence that vandalism diminishes in appealing stations because works of art and good designs are widely respected. The list below is not meant to be a list of interesting stations (there are hundreds of them) but rather a list of cities with interesting stations. The photos are examples from those cities. The list includes:

Metros Visited Personal remarks on 60 metro systems. Updated 9 July 2005. Bilbao Norman Foster did a great job in designing vaulted stations and glass entrances ('fosteritos'). The vaults are clearly inspired by Washington's metro stations with their concourse levels and arrangement of stairways. Lights abruptly turn brighter when a train is approaching and subtly fade to their dimmer state after the train has left. The fosteritos are almost as distinctive as Guimard's entrances in Paris. Trains can be walked through, have 1-meter gauge and are running on the left. Lille The exemplary VAL metro is still the world's most extensive driverless metro system. Additionally, many stations have interesting architecture and some are decorated with works of art. Trains are narrow and half as long as normal metro trains but since the trains are driverless the frequency can be deliberately high. The stations are also short but all of them seem to have extra space prepared for a future platform extension. Maps in the trains are oriented according to the real direction (which means that the trains always point in the same direction). At elevated terminal stations, train turn-over can be watched through glass windows: The train runs to the holding track and, after standing still for only five seconds, changes direction and runs back into the other side of the station. Newcastle A system of very consistent design and typography with works of art in some stations.

It wasn't until 1894 that a referendum was put on the ballot to generate financial support from the city and create the Rapid Transit Board, which was in charge of planning the route. The Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT) was awarded the contract to build the first subway line. The Rapid Transit Board planned one original route, stretching from City Hall to 96th Street, which then split into two more routes from Broadway to 242nd Street and another that ran under the Harlem River into the Bronx. Bids were then solicited and construction began in 1900.
