<tr style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;"><td rowspan="2" style="background: none; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" valign="top"><div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Norma Sklarek, FAIA, died Feb. 6, after pioneering a career that saw her become a leading designer in her own right, and an influential mentor to other minority and women architects who followed in her trailblazing footsteps. The cause was heart failure. She was 85.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Sklarek’s name is associated with a litany of firsts including the first African-American woman to become a member of the AIA (1959) and the first African-American woman to become a Fellow of the AIA (1980). She was called the “Rosa Parks of architecture” by AIA Board Member Anthony Costello, FAIA, when she was honored with the 2008 Whitney M. Young Jr. Award. Former AIA President Marshall Purnell, FAIA, credited her with making possible his career as well as the careers of many women and minority architects.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<b style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Tenacity and talent</b><br style="white-space: nowrap;" />“She was very charming, elegant, and beautiful,” says Kate Diamond, FAIA, who knew Sklarek as a mentor, a friend, and as a partner at Siegel, Sklarek, Diamond in the 1980s, the first architecture firm to be formed and managed by an African-American woman. “Behind that was a backbone of stainless steel, and an intellect and ability to deliver that was extraordinary.”</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
That backbone, intellect, and talent underpinned a career marked by overcoming both explicit and implicit racism and sexism. “All of us, and certainly Norma, carry the scars of opportunities that were closed when clients made assumptions that were unwarranted, but if you let that stop you, none of us would have survived at all, and Norma certainly wouldn’t have,” Diamond says. “She simply made up her mind to look at the good side of things and find a way around it. If one door wasn’t opened, she was going to open another one. And she did that consistently all the way down the line.”</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Sklarek hired Michael Enomoto, FAIA, at Gruen in 1973, and today he is a partner. “When she was working at Gruen, we didn't spend a lot of time talking about the social injustices of life,” says Enomoto, President of the AIA California Council. “She didn’t spend time moaning and groaning. We just worked hard, we did good architecture.”</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<b style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Mentorship </b><br style="white-space: nowrap;" />A New York City native, Sklarek graduated from Columbia University in 1950. After a brief stint working for Skidmore Owings and Merrill, she moved to Los Angeles to work at Gruen. During her 20-year tenure there, Sklarek completed some of her most important projects, including Fox Plaza in San Francisco, the American Embassy in Tokyo, and the Queens Fashion Mall in New York. From 1980 to 1985, she was a vice president at the Welton Becket firm, where she designed the Terminal One building at Los Angeles International Airport. Sklarek headed her own firm for four years after that, and in 1989, she became a principal with Jon Jerde Inc., now known as the Jerde Partnership, where she worked on the Mall of America in Minneapolis. Sklarek had been semi-retired since 1996.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
For a generation of minority and women architects, Sklarek served as a symbol of what could be, and was a stalwart mentor to those she knew.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
“For Norma to be leading the entire department of a major architectural practice and doing truly high-visibility, cutting-edge work was something that we all looked to, and we all took pleasure from,” Diamond says. “She was teaching, she was engaged, and she was available to young architects, particularly to women and minority architects.”</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Sometimes her mentorship was subtle, often not recognized by those she worked with until many years later. “On her last day at Gruen, she took me aside and said ‘Don’t let them get you down.’ I didn't understand what she meant, I just kind of said ‘fine.’ It was only many years later that I understood she meant ‘Don’t let the obstacles placed in front of minorities prevent you from getting ahead,’” says Enomoto, who is Asian-American.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<b style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Sklarek’s legacy</b><br style="white-space: nowrap;" />Perhaps most importantly, Sklarek’s legacy and accomplishments inspired those around her to become advocates for a more diverse profession. “I remember what it was like in architecture school in USC when I was there,” says Chet Widom, FAIA, a former President of the AIA and founding partner of the Los Angeles firm WWCOT. “There were maybe two women in the entire school of about 400 people. It was incredibly rare. It certainly was rare to see black men, but to see a black woman going through the process and succeeding—she was this high-powered woman—that set the tone for me.” As such, Widom has been involved with improving diversity within the industry since the 1970s.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Widom and others note that things are different today. Two partners who followed Widom at his firm are women. Enomoto says Gruen’s staff is 49 percent female and 60 percent minority, something he says is certainly a legacy of Sklarek. Diamond notes that there is a smattering of female design principals in major multinational firms today, but that it is still not easy. “I like to think we broke the glass ceiling, but there is still what a friend of mine calls a maze,” she says.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Diamond (now a principal at HMC Architects) says the key for Sklarek being able to break through these barriers was using wit to navigate social politics and get ahead. “She didn't overcome these things by fighting them,” Diamond says. “She would charm them and then she would deliver. It’s that combination that I think helped her overcome amazing obstacles.”</div>

Sherwin-Williams announced its 2016 color of the year today, and it is -- are you ready for this? <a data-beacon="{"p":{"mnid":"entry_text","lnid":"citation","mpid":0}}" href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/benjamin-moore-color-of-the-year-simply-white_561566c7e4b021e856d33a3d" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #2e7061;" target="_blank">It's white. Again.</a></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 27px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
Technically called "Alabaster," it is a hue "symbolic of new beginnings," Sherwin-Williams said in a statement and "represents a straightforward and necessary shift to mindfulness, well-being and an atmosphere that is pure,” its Director of Color Marketing, Jackie Jordan, added.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 27px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
It's also the third white to be chosen as a color of the year this year, preceded by<a data-beacon="{"p":{"mnid":"entry_text","lnid":"citation","mpid":1}}" href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/benjamin-moore-color-of-the-year-simply-white_561566c7e4b021e856d33a3d" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #2e7061;" target="_blank">"Simply White,"</a> picked by Benjamin-Moore, <a data-beacon="{"p":{"mnid":"entry_text","lnid":"citation","mpid":2}}" href="http://corporate.ppg.com/Media/Newsroom/2015/Cappuccino-White-emerges-as-2016-top-trending-colo" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #2e7061;" target="_blank">"Cappuccino White"</a>, Glidden's choice, and <a data-beacon="{"p":{"mnid":"entry_text","lnid":"citation","mpid":3}}" href="http://www.behr.com/consumer/inspiration/2016-color-trends" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #2e7061;" target="_blank">"Bowstring" and "Ivory Keys,"</a> which are deemed color trends by Behr.</div>

In case you can't picture it, here's what Sherwin-Williams' choice looks like upclose:</div>

If it feels like you're being bombarded with shades of white this year, you can blame your peers: "Sherwin-Williams spends an extraordinary amount of time researching color trends and why certain colors are resonating with certain people," Jordan told The Huffington Post in an email. Its National Home Design and Color Survey found that 73 percent of respondents liked "Alabaster" for its ivory tone, rather than plain white.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 27px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
"We feel that whites are resonating with consumer attitudes across genders and generations rather than one specific group," Jordan said.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 27px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
As described on its website, Sherwin-Williams' <a data-beacon="{"p":{"mnid":"entry_text","lnid":"citation","mpid":4}}" href="http://www.sherwin-williams.com/home-builders/color/color-forecast/2016-color-forecast/pura-vida/" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #2e7061;" target="_blank">Pura Vida campaign</a> focuses on earth tones, or colors reminiscent of "the elements that remind us to live well, be well, and stay well. Alabaster holds so much symbolism for peace and tranquility," Jordan told HuffPost.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 27px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
"We have found that consumers are overwhelmed and are finally coming to the realization that they need to slow down, commit to down time, get away from technology, enjoy solitude or quiet evenings in the company of family and friends. White is the perfect color to soothe a space and calm the soul," she said.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 27px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">
To use it in a room, Jordan recommended to use "lots of layers, shapes and textures and a combination of matte and glossy surfaces. Think heavy knitted throws, sleek white marble, white birch logs, shag or Flokati rugs, white subway tiles, architectural elements, geometric or organic pottery shapes."</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.0625rem; line-height: 27px; padding: 0px 0px 20px;">

I
felt it necessary to explore and emulate nature’s beauty.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Starling have many features that inspires
the construction and the sustainable features of the chair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Starlings are medium-sized song birds with
triangular wings hence the inverted triangular shaped arms of the chair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They have strong feet and their flight is
strong and direct.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By mimicking this
concept in the chair, it’s smaller than most accent chairs in size<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
[3’10”
H x 2’ 7” W x 1‘8” D] and unusual shaped arms and legs are stronger than most
built chairs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I consulted the bird’s
skeletal system and applied the underlying design principles to shape, form,
and construct a sustainable piece of furniture that can carry it’s weight for
many years to come.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Furniture
has always found inspiration on the fashion runways, from color trends to
fabrics to construction. The link between fashion design and furniture design
is strong and everlasting.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Starling
Darling is built for comfort; therefore, it is also equipped with mechanics
that features some of today's most technological advances in bio-textiles and
electronics.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Due to this blend of these
extraordinary components, a great deal of thought has been placed in the
analysis of kinetics, center of mass, and human comfort zones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The back of the chair is motorized and
reclines in the 3 most common positions for an adult.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
The
“Starling Darling” is designed to highlight that close relationship to fashion
and to showcase its connection to nature.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It’s a perfect fusion </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
of
high fashion, kinetics, and biomimicry!</div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">This studio will unfold the reimagining of the
historic Pickett Cotton Mill in southwest High Point through a rehabilitation
that understands the mill’s authenticity, respects it past ‘voice” and expresses
its future ‘voice’ within a revitalized Southwest High Point.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your designs will be mixed-use projects
incorporating a combination of “third places” as well as apartments, live/work
units, artist studios, and a childcare center. A central focus to the studio
project will be developing strategies and tactics for the adaptive reuse of a
historic building based on a clear analysis of its existing “voice” and its
larger context. Our approach will be respectful of the building’s historic
character and will be guided in part by Graeme Brooker and Sally Stone’s book <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Rereadings Interior Architecture and the
Design Principles of Remodeling Existing Buildings</i> and by the theory of
third places from Ray Oldenburg’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The
Great Good Place: Cafés, Coffee Shops, Bookstores, Bars, Hair Salons and Other
Hangouts at the Heart of a Community.</i></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Susan
is Editor in Chief for the world-renowned architecture and design magazine <a href="http://www.metropolismag.com/cda/" target="_blank">Metropolis</a>. She graciously constructed a
presentation while on tour for the<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>“Inclusive Design for the Next Generation competition!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As she took the podium she is a modest, humble
and honest soul…she began to speak from her heart.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With a spirit of service she shares with us
that she’s just brunt out on design contents that simply encourages creating,
building pretty worthless things, spaces.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She feels that design is more than styling and more about human
concerns.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, how does good design
derive?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Susan’s short answer and theory
is,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“through an interest in social and
ethological conditions”.</i></b> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
She
plays a short film and introduces her audience to several teams of people whom
had an interest in this very thing, or simply asked a question.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We learn that Genware, the Hydro Wall, Lunar
Residence Streetlights, and the Solar Façade are all fascinating inventions by
people who perhaps recognized a problem, asked themselves a question and used
technology to solve the problem.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Careful
not to believe that technology solved the problem, only helped.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We understand and it’s demonstrated that
there are <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“NO limits to human imagination” .<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
I am
also intrigued that Susan unveils common mistakes / obstacles that often
prohibit many of us from moving forward with our creations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She identifies “Funds” or the lack of, would
be the number one obstacle that many of us face when we set out to design.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Therefore, she explained that one could have
to fund one’s very own project.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also,
bringing in investors would be a strongly urged to jumpstart a project.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Question
: <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“How
do you step into the dialogue of sustainability?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></i></b>Susan encourages her audience to
“think of a built environment in an organic perspective”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She believes that incorporating multiple
disciplines when designing a building is really the best approach from the
start.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Question<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do
we allow outdated technology and methods dictate our level of thinking and
doing?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or, do we rise to the occasion and
utilize recent discoveries in technology to advance in sustainability?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">How do you make a building breathe on it’s
own, produce it’s own heat?</i></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

has to be at the center of solving problems?</i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

will I fit in the dialogue?</i></b></div>

We've entered the initial diagramming and is headed to the schematic phase. We begin with the first floor spaces paying particular attention to the public circulation into and through the building, working out interior space configurations in concert with the parameters established by the original window openings and the column grid. Also address vertical circulation from the first floor down to the ground floor, up to the second floor, and out to the site including at least one accessible entrance.</div>
<br />
To communicate the schematic designs for the first floor, we will prepare and present the following:<br />
<ol style="text-align: justify;">
<li>An overall plan for the first floor indicating additions of interior wall systems and doorways as well as window openings. This plan should be at 3/32” = 1’-0 “ scale. It is important to show how your schematic design works in the context of the existing columns and windows. It is also important to be sure your design meets egress requirements. Assume for egress that the building is sprinklered and that the use is mixed use.</li>
<li>A vertical section cut across the first floor illustrating new walls, openings, and ceilings. This should be at 1/8” = 1”-0” scale and should be cut perpendicular to Redding Drive. (Across the 100’ width.)</li>
<li>Three perspective views illustrating two key spaces on the first floor and a typical public circulation pathway. Make the perspectives each large enough to fill an 11x17 sheet. Suggest light, color, and materials. Use the perspectives to illustrate your tactics for these spaces and the vocabulary of materials and features as they relate to the historic materials and features.</li>

<br />
Over, Under, Around and Through<br />
<br />
Jo's Feedback: Trusses are not speaking the same language as the building. They fight with the beams. Adding such an ornate element doesn't respect what's already there.<br />
MY reply: this is well received because my main objective is to celebrate the authentic nature of the building.<br />
<br />
Jo:<br />
<ol>
<li>add stairs to exit corridors</li>
<li>avoid interrupting the main entrance with walls </li>
<li>sprinklers must wrap bar/grill area</li>
<li>staircase in southeast entrance/exit</li>
<li>path of egress exits can not be accessed through functional spaces</li>
<li>rethink north corridor exit</li>
<li>reposition deck/stage on north end </li>
<li>show topography</li>
</ol>
My reply: <br />
Ready Set Go....Just when I thought this was the final design.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">My initial thoughts of Pickett
Cotton Mill was that it was a place that meant so much to a lot of people and
that the building itself held countless memories. Upon entering PCM one word
dominated my mind "rhythmatic". The columns, the pilasters, the windows
and even the machinery that once defined the space. I since learned that the
people who worked here were accustomed to very systematic and routine
lifestyles. Inside the doors of PCM as well as within the community, there was
a sense of order and structure; which provided a wonderful life for so many.
Success of the mill and the cotton manufacturing process was definitely one
that required skillful flow each day. One of the most critical and important
stages of this process was spinning. It is part of the textile manufacturing
process where three types of fibre are converted into yarn, then fabrics, which
undergo finishing processes such as bleaching to become textiles. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The People and the machines were
just as interwoven as the fibres were to one another. Once that idea resonated
I became fascinated with how well the two blended. You just can’t have one
without the other.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I continued to research
the spinners in particularly and discovered that there are generally one or two
types:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span>The mule was an intermittent process, as the frame advanced and returned
a distance of 5ft.It was the descendant of a 1779 Crompton device. It produces
a softer, less twisted thread that was favored for fines and for weft.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

water frame of 1769. It was a continuous process; the yarn was coarser, had a
greater twist and was stronger so was suited to be warp. Ring spinning is slow
due to the distance the thread must pass around the ring, and similar methods
have improved on this; such as flyer and bobbin and cap spinning. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I am certain that PCM used ring
spinners. I am also certain that to capture the heart of the mill in my design,
I must pay homage to the two most essentials of PCM’s time…The People + The
Machinery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I want to do so with the same
rhythmatic, systematic, symmetry, and verticality as they once did. And as
always, there a softer side of things, image 4 depicts another essential
element of the mill, cotton!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is also
one that I will be careful to infuse in my ideations of an industrial design to
the revitalization of PCM. I will be certain that there is a sense of
authenticity!</span></div>

Following are the guest reviewers that I spoke with and their remarks:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.hpo.ncdcr.gov/hpostaff.htm" target="_blank">Mitch Wilds (State Preservation Office)</a><br />
<ul>
<li>artist spaces could provide more privacy for the professionals</li>
</ul>
<a href="http://www.hpo.ncdcr.gov/hpostaff.htm" target="_blank">Tim Simmons (State Preservation Office)</a><br />
<ul>
<li>lounge area maybe too open, guests need to feel some type of enclosure</li>
<li>a short 4' or 5' wall near seats</li>
<li>ramps at each end to comply with ADA</li>
<li>can make more money making bar and grill a full restaurant experience </li>
</ul>
<a href="http://www.belkarchitecture.net/" target="_blank">Eddie Belk (Architect)</a><br />
<ul>
<li>prep kitchen for bar areaC</li>
<li>perhaps too much space for art galleries</li>
<li>celebrate height of building, raise restaurant area to about 24 to 30 inches</li>
<li>media center may also be too large</li>
</ul>
<a href="http://historichighpointnc.blogspot.com/2012/07/southwest-initiative-urban-renewal.html" target="_blank">Dorothy Darr (Advocate for SW High Point)</a><br />
<ul>
<li>enjoyed the layout and the graphics of the board </li>
</ul>
<a href="http://historichighpointnc.blogspot.com/2012/07/southwest-initiative-urban-renewal.html" target="_blank">Dot Kearns (Advocate for SW High Point</a><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7556396415283494638" target="_blank">)</a><br />
<ul>
<li> suggested incorporating a teacher supply store </li>
</ul>
<a href="http://www.linkedin.com/pub/lauren-postlmayr/47/8b0/7b1" target="_blank">Lauren Postlmayr (IAR Graduate student)</a><br />
<ul>
<li>build stairs at south entrance </li>
<li>if there are 3 elevators spread them out more, perhaps 1 on the north end</li>
<li>columns are enormous, check size</li>
<li>reading tables in media area</li>
<li>lounge within welcome area </li>
<li>breakout sections near ballroom</li>
</ul>
<a href="http://www.linkedin.com/pub/jerry-leimenstoll/9/45/1a" target="_blank">Jerry Leimenstoll (Architect)</a><br />
<ul>
<li>having the elevators and atm machines closer to the south entrance for residents could be more convenient and desirable</li>
<li>circulation - the columns right in front of the south entrance interrupts the flow of smooth circulation</li>
</ul>
