ArchitectureWeek Notes No. 464 Posted: 26 Feb 2010 08:29 AM PST Dear ArchitectureWeek Readers, ArchitectureWeek No. 464 is now available on the Web, with these new design and building features, and more. This Notes edition is sponsored by TXI Expanded Shale & Clay: Minimize Compromises. Maximize Durability. TXI lightweight aggregate enhances the concrete curing process from the inside out (internal curing) for greatly increased service life, reduction of drying and cracking of concrete, abatement of ASR, reduced maintenance cost and improved microstructure. Review case studies and presentations in the TXI document library: http://www.archweek.com/ad.cgi?100224_txiesc -- * -- ANIMAL HOSPITAL, UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW by ArchitectureWeek http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/today.html http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2010/0224/news_1-1.html Seen on approach at just the right angle, it might be mistaken for a broad grassy hillside with a glass pavilion.As one circles around eastward, the "hillside" quickly opens up to reveal the upper green expanse as the roof of a building - the new Small Animal Hospital at the University of Glasgow. This earth-sheltered veterinary facility was designed by the Glasgow office of Davis Duncan Architects, which has since merged into Archial Architects. The £10.7 million, 4,500-square-meter (48,000-square-foot) hospital received the RIAS Andrew Doolan Award from the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland, designating it the "best building in Scotland" for 2009. "The building's great triumph is the unique and ingenious way it integrates a very substantial medical facility within the parkland setting of Glasgow University's Garscube Estate," remarked the jury for the Doolan Award. "This is a highly complex work of architecture which sets new standards in the design of buildings for veterinary medicine." Under its long sloped roof, the structure rises with a gentle wedge-shaped section. A heavy gabion wall grounds the building on three sides, complemented by neutral gray fiber-cement cladding. At one corner, the roof forms a canopy above open-air dog runs, while a section of full-height glazing recessed into the north facade marks the building's main entrance. ... full story continues online (18 images, four free): http://www.ArchWeek.com/2010/0224/news_1-1.html Wrought and Cast Iron Structures by D.

TODAY IN JUDAISM: Shabbat, February 27, 2010 Posted: 26 Feb 2010 07:07 AM PST   Today in Judaism Today is: Shabbat, Adar 13, 5770 · February 27, 2010 Zachor Today's Laws & Customs • Parshat Zachor This being the Shabbat before Purim, on which we celebrate the foiling of Haman the Amalekite's plot to destroy the Jewish people, the weekly Parshah is supplemented with the Zachor reading (Deuteronomy 25:17-19) in which we are commanded to remember the evil of Amalek and to eradicate it from the face of the earth. "Parshat Zachor" is the second of four special readings added during or immediately before the month of Adar (the other three being "Shekalim", "Parah" and "Hachodesh") Links: The Zachor Reading with commentary More on Amalek • Read Megillah Tonight The festival of Purim begins at nightfall tonight, and the Megillah (Book of Esther) is read for the first time this evening. See entries for tomorrow, Adar 14. (Except for Jerusalem and other ancient walled cities, where the festival is observed beginning tomorrow night--see entries for Adar 15.) NOTE: The "Fast of Esther", usually observed on this date, is moved back this year to the previous Thursday, because of the sanctity of Shabbat (see entry for Adar 11) Today in Jewish History • War Against Enemies of the Jews in Persian Empire (356 BCE) On the 13th of Adar of the year 3405 from creation (356 BCE), battles were fought throughout the Persian Empire between the Jews and those seeking to kill them in accordance with the decree issued by King Achashveirosh 11 months earlier. (Achashveirosh never rescinded that decree; but after the hanging of Haman on Nissan 16 of the previous year, and Queen Esther's pleading on behalf of her people, he agreed to issue a second decree authorizing the Jews to defend themselves against those seeking to kill them.) 75,000 enemies were killed on that day, and 500 in the capital, Shushan, including Haman's ten sons (Parshandata, Dalfon, Aspata, Porata, Adalia, Aridata, Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai and Vaizata), whose bodies were subsequently hanged. The Jews did not take any of the possessions of the slain as booty, though authorized to do so by the king's decree. (The Book of Esther, chapter 9). Link: The Storty of Purim; see also "Today in Jewish History" for tomorrow, Adar 14. • Maccabee victory (135 BCE) The Maccabees defeated the Syrian General Nicanor in a battle fought four years after the Maccabee's liberation of the Holy Land and the miracle of Chanukah.
