		<description><![CDATA[With so many moving parts, adaptive reuse projects frequently take longer to get off the ground and they involve unforeseen challenges—but the results can be more interesting than those found in new construction. “We [also] think that redeveloping historic buildings is an inherently green strategy,” says Bruce Becker,AIA, AICP, President of Becker + Becker, whose Fairfield, Ct-based firm developed, designed and planned The Octagon, a high-profile adaptive reuse project in New York.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The United States can learn a few lessons in energy-efficient buildings and green jobs from Europe and Australia, according to a new study by the Rand Corporation. The research shows that steps taken by the two continents to inspect, rate, and publicly disclose the energy efficiency of buildings indicate the structures use less energy and are worth more when sold or leased.

		<description><![CDATA[It is true that building information modeling (BIM) is revolutionizing the design/build industry today, but it’s also true that BIM is far from a new concept. “BIM is a re-introduction of historical design-build practices with a twist of technological advancement,” says Adam Lega, BIM coordinator for KAI, a Texas-based design/build firm.

		<description><![CDATA[Inspired by the term “Third Places,” coined by sociologist Ray Oldenburg in the late 1980s, I’ve come up with my own, more modern take on these easily accessible public spaces away from home and work where people can enjoy interacting. I prefer calling today’s gathering spots in residential buildings “Third Spaces,” where residents can form a sense of community by regularly gathering in inviting areas to socialize.
