In a special summer UrbanPlan Scholars program, four teams presented their proposals for a six-acre parcel next to UH West Oahu. They had to address zoning requirements, affordable housing/workforce housing, rail/transit issues, agriculture, and energy.
UrbanPlan is a global competition run by the international Urban Land Institute. Hawaii schools have taken top honors in the global competition two years in a row, including Iolani School last month, and Iolani and Kalani two years ago.
Teams were made up of local high school students from Iolani, Kalani, LeJardin, MidPac, Punahou, and St. Andrews.
They conducted outreach to stakeholders and residents in West Oahu and found affordable housing to be the number one community need.
Ideas ranged from rooftop greenhouses and beekeeping to fully solar-powered facilities to integrating UHWO student and campus life.
Judges included Bob Harrison (FHB), Duff Janus (ASB), Brennon Morioka (UH), Mike Gabbard (Senate), Jim Houchens (Mitre), and Alana Kobayashi.
Bernice Glenn Bowers helped them plan for future high-tech industry in the area, doubled the size of the cash prize to $1,500.
Built in 1807 on Munjoy Hill on the northern end of downtown Portland. At the time it was constructed by Capt Lemuel Moody, it sat in a cow pasture. It stands 86 feet tall and is the last remaining maritime signal tower in the Nation. It is both a National Engineering marvel and National Historic Landmark.

After mixing, pouring, reinforcing and rising early each morning to water their concrete cylinder experiments for the past week, 55 students from Hudson Bend Middle School traveled to a University of Texas at Austin civil engineering laboratory to destroy their work.
Pelham Ridge Elementary School was designed by Goodwyn Mills Cawood. Pelham Ridge Elementary is the first new construction school designed for the newly-formed Pelham City School Board. The new elementary school is a two-story brick and stone building with wood elements, which reflects the desired character and materiality of the existing schools in the district. Pelham Ridge incorporates a variety of learning environments in addition to the typical classroom. These supplemental learning spaces include two “break-out” learning spaces, a flexible classroom, and two courtyards. Two of the classroom wings adjacent to the courtyards are designed to function as storm shelters and meet the Alabama Building Commission’s state standard for storm shelters, ICC 500.

Lebanon, Pennsylvania
Completed 1827
According to oral history, George Washington visited the canal diggings in 1792, and then again in 1794, while he was accompanying troops to suppress the Whiskey Rebellion in Western Pennsylvania.
The Union Canal Tunnel was a crucial structure allowing the connection of the eastern and western branches of the 82-mile Union Canal. The canal snaked from Middletown on to Reading, where it converged with the Schuylkill River, providing a direct water link from Harrisburg to Philadelphia. The oldest existing tunnel in the U.S., it was created through 729 feet of solid slate rock with veins of hard, flinty limestone. It was constructed through the ridge dividing the Quittapahilla Creek and Clark's Run.
As early as the 1760s, consideration was given to constructing a waterway that would speed shipments between the east and the west. In 1791 the Pennsylvania Assembly passed an act authorizing the formation of the Schuylkill and Susquehanna Navigation Company, whose purpose was to connect the two rivers by canal. Work was begun the next year, but suspended in 1794 due to financial difficulties. Frequent attempts to revive the project were unsuccessful until the Union Canal Company was created by another act of the state assembly in 1811.

One for my Geotechnical engineering friends at NU.
The problem is not that it settled, but that it didn't settle evenly....
Note the patched cracks in the mortar. Over on the right side, where my wife is standing, is a matching set of them flanking this over-stable corner of the building.
Gina (D-Impatient) is wondering just HOW many pictures of one brick building I need when lunch and a nice cold ale are waiting.
(01OCT09: I love when an obscure photo suddenly gets hits. Not always obvious why, though. If you search Der Google for "foundation settling" this is on the first page. But why a sudden interest in settling foundations on Ye Tubes?)
