Green design: just what the doctor ordered
The Globe and Mail

Its south-facing wall will be wrapped in a giant curtain of glass to trap heat and light. Sensors will automatically turn off the lights in unused rooms. And the eight-storey building will be so energy efficient, the furnace won't go on until the outside temperature drops below -18 C. When the 360,000-square-foot Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute opens in Edmonton in the fall of 2007, it will be one of the smartest of Canada's smart buildings. In fact, it is poised to become the first Canadian hospital of its kind to achieve silver LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification. To be LEED-certified, a building earns points for design features that promote a healthy environment, reduce costs and prevent waste.

Architectures photographiées
Archiseek.com

Le Centre d’exposition de l’Université de Montréal is presenting Architectures photographiées, a photographic journey of Marc Cramer, an exhibition that will run from November 16 to December 17, 2006. His work highlights eight recent projects created and constructed by Montreal-based architects. This photographic inquiry focuses on the production of four Québécois firms, namely Atelier Tag, Provencher Roy et associés, Saia Barbarese Topouzanov, and Saucier + Perrotte. These projects also involved the collaboration of other firms including: Beauchamp et Bourbeau, Desnoyers Mercure, Jodoin Lamarre Pratte, Menkes Shooner Dagenais Letourneux, and Tétreault Parent Languedoc.

depends on the content of the newsletter, certain products can be better 'sold' with images.

I've used a number of methods and applications.

Groupmail works fine for ease of use.
