The following links provide access to a couple of interesting and applicable articles I found on The Age website:


Published July 7 2004, this article is written by Peter Brook who is the design director of Peddle Thorp Architects in Melbourne. Brook addresses the often unaknowledged factors of design that an architect must balance in order to create 'good' architecture through exemplars including Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena. (Click here for Rod Laver Arena post, dated 11 March 2008).


ZERO BUILDING AND THE SEARCH FOR THE HOLY GRAIL OF GREENNESS

This article, written by Natalie Craig, was featured in The Age on March 26 2008. It deals with the issue of sustainablility in architecture and details the hypothetical proposal put forward by a Melbourne architectural team for a 19-storey office complex that would generate no carbon emissions. This concept provides a solution to a major issue facing current and future generation architects.
