When we travel or move about our own environment, certain things we see affect us in deep and lasting ways...
I'm getting ready for a closing this week so I'm stressed out to the max,my inspiration is above.
Frank Cunha III, AIACubellis Ecoplan
Villa Rotunda in Italy. After getting lost and hiking over mountains and through corn fields to get there – we found thegates locked.
R. Terry Durden, AIA42D Architects
Taos, N.M. Pueblo home – adobe is prepared of earth, straw, and water mixed and sun-dried, the same as before the conquistadors arrived. Europeans introduced the concept of doors. Previously, the only entryway was by way of a ladder through the roof. These homes, still occupiedtoday, are perfect examples of "green architecture." This site has been continuously occupied for more than 1000 years.
Joel Ives, AIA, PPThe Ives, Schier & Lesser Architecture Studio LLC

The twists and folds of the forms which you walk through on the roof present exciting surprise vistas opening up to roof top amphitheaters and a roof garden at the Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. ...yes these are my primal images, it doesn't get any sexier than this, architecturally speaking.

What a terrific summer we have been havingat the League events! In June, we enjoyed a delicious beefsteakdinner at the Ridgewood Unitarian Society,renovation design by Ross Mamola, AIA.Our program was on Starting and Financingyour own Practice. In July, we visited the Closter Library addition designed by Anthony Iovino, AIA.Our program was on developing staff to fulfill the roles you expect of them, andgrooming them to move up to more seniorpositions as well.We ended our summer events with a superGolf Outing at High Mountain Golf Club.The weather could not have been more glorious, the course was challenging (well,all golf courses are challenging to me!), and the dinner was delicious and enjoyable.Congratulations to all of our prize winnersand thanks to our sponsors. Terrific job KimV. Vierheilig, AIA!This past spring, AIA National imposedsome new procedures for accrediting AIAContinuing Education Programs. The newregulations require additional pre-certifica-tion of our speakers and inclusion of AIAslides in the presentations. This processrequires quite a bit more preparation andcoordination on the part of Russ Warnet, AIA,our continuing education liaison withNational. Russ immediately became familiarwith the new regulations and contactedeach of the speakers scheduled to provideprograms this year to bring their presenta-tions into compliance. In addition, he wentout of his way to assist the Programs andEvents Committee with gaining credit for a tour and a program under critical timeconstraints in June. Thank you for your outstanding efforts Russ!

Located in the Himalayas, this festive temple at Badrinath is accessiblefrom a pedestrian bridge over the Alakanada River. Pilgrims visit thisremote location to absorb the spiritual energy of the temple and thesurrounding rivers and mountains.
Alan Spector, AIASpector Associates Architects As an ’84 RISD Alumni, Providence, RI still remains as
my favorite city. The revitalized downtown river walksand parks are incredible before and after stories.

This is a view thru a passage way at the J. Paul Gettymuseum designed by Richard Meier Architect in 1997.Meier known for his stark white high tech designsadded a warm to this structure by introducing blocksof split faced Italian travertine, a welcoming warmthto his typical designs.
Laurence E. Parisi, AIALaurence E. Parisi, P.C. Architect
I came across this wonderful fencedriving along the Blue RidgeParkway in Virginia. This scenicparkway winds its way along themountain ridge in ShenandoahNational park. Is it a fence? Does it enclose a space? Does it form abarrier? Does it define a boundary?

Members share images and thoughts that are important to them
We are visual creatures. It is this characteristic which has led most of us to ouravocation - Architecture . Images are often more vivid to us than others. When we travel or move about our own environment, certain things we see affectus in deep and lasting ways. It may be a building, a view, people, or anythingmeaningful of which you captured an image and want others to see as well.
Here are some of the images submitted by your fellow members.Fay William Logan, AIA, Editor
