Cute as a (library) button
Last spring we asked you to design the next round of library buttons. We had a great response and choosing the top 10 was no easy task.

The Cat's Pyjamas
Congratulations to our very own GALTstudio, winners of the Nuit Blanche People's Choice Award for their twofold project!
If you didn't get a chance to see it in person, you can virtually maneuver the intersections of time and space right here:
This win comes right on the heels of North House placing 4th in the U.S. DOE's Solar Decathlon, the City of Cambridge working with students to develop guidelines for core area revitalization, and the completion of the Grand House housing initiative.
One of our current students was just published in an anthology stacked with big-name Canadian writers, and a former student was chosen to design the medals for the 2010 Olympic Games.
UW Architecture is always making its mark on the world and we're so proud of our students for everything they've accomplished this year!

Good Eats
Our Food for Fines drive has officially been declared a success!
The School of Architecture managed to gather a whopping 631 pounds of food! That translates into over $1,400 in cleared fines for you and hundreds of meals for local families and individuals in need.
All donations have been delivered to the Cambridge Food Bank right around the corner.
It was really great to see our little community so enthusiastic about the drive and the staff got a real kick out of watching our mountain of food grow day by day. Go team!

Good on paper
Check out the latest edition of Spacing magazine. Their fifth anniversary issue focuses on the "Next generation of city builders" (psst....that's you guys) and features the winners of their thinkTORONTO urban design ideas competition (you guys again).
Some of them wanted to shine a light on the subway, and others wanted to get people reading on the rails...but all of them are about making the city a community.
Of the 20 winning ideas, many were from current and former UW Architecture students. Check out those entries on our bulletin board, or flip through the whole issue on our magazine rack!

Should you go to the AGO?
The dawn of a 'new' gallery is upon us. Is it a good thing? or a bad thing?
You could find out by reading Toronto Star Architecture critic Christopher Hume's lauding review of the renovation. Or by reading the criticism it's drawing from local contemporary artists. Or, find out what Frank Gehry thinks of his own work here.
You can also view 360 degree virtual tours of the Galleria Italia, and Walker Court Stairs. And another sort of tour here.
Or, you could find out yourself! This weekend the AGO is open to all...with events and entertainment for free!
Want to learn more about the AGO, Frank Gehry, or some of the AGO's featured artists, like Frank Stella? Check out the display of books, DVDs and articles on the counter in the library!
More on the new AGO here, here (with our own Anne Bordeleau!), and here.
