The 2012 edition of Cartouche, a student publication of NewSchool of Architecture and Design (NSAD), highlights the role of designers and architects in creating memorials, with a special focus on the Oklahoma City National Memorial and the Flight 93 National Memorial in Pennsylvania.
Samantha Winland, a student in the Master of Architecture program at NSAD, wrote the memorial-themed stories for Cartouche based on interviews with Paul Murdoch of Paul Murdoch Architects, designer of the Flight 93 National Memorial, and Hans and Torrey Butzer of Butzer Gardner Architects, designers of the Oklahoma City National Memorial. The Flight 93 memorial commemorates those who lost their lives on one of the planes commandeered by terrorists in the 9/11 attacks. The Oklahoma City memorial honors those lost in the 1995 terrorist bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building.
The articles in this edition of Cartouche explore the importance of community input on sensitive projects and evaluate how design can contribute to the healing process. For example, Oklahoma City residents did not want the city to tear down a fence where mementos and tributes to the victims had been placed. As a result, the fence was incorporated into the overall design of the memorial.
Cartouche is a forum for the expression of ideas and a showcase for the talents of NSAD students, faculty members, and the broader San Diego community. The Cartouche faculty advisor is Joe C. Nicholson, who also brings his expertise in memorial design to this year?s publication. Nicholson and 1999 NSAD alumna Shari Grant were among six finalists in the international competition to design the Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial in Washington, D.C.
The new edition of Cartouche also includes articles about the NSAD Alumni Mentorship Program, as well as highlights from two of this year?s NSAD guest lecturers: Robert Ivy, the executive vice president/chief executive officer of the American Institute of Architects and Joshua Prince-Ramus, of REX Architecture. NSAD alumnus Soeren Wegener wrote an article on the Sustainable North Park Main Street project in the San Diego community of North Park. The two-year project involved seven 2010 NSAD graduates, including Wegener, who contributed to the development of a sustainable planning initiative in collaboration with architecture and design professionals.

Hip Hotels: Orient
Sublime landscapes, rich cultures, ancient traditions, and startling modernity: Hip Hotels Orient promises to be Herbert Ypma's most exciting book to date.The Orient has held sway over the Western imagination since the days of Marco Polo and Genghis Khan. And that remains true in the twenty-first century, even if the world to the east of the Mediterranean is today a very different place, where potent symbols of age-old cultures—minarets, bazaars, Buddhist monks in saffron robes—exist alongside bold expressions of modernity and futuristic style.These are some of the most extraordinary Hip Hotels yet. Live like a maharaja—with a maharaja—in the Umed Bhawan Palace in Rajasthan, a splendid art deco fantasy designed between 1929 and 1932. This enormous palace, bigger than Washington's Capitol Building, is still home to the former Crown Prince and his family. Or stay in a guest villa of King Sihanouk, now the setting for Cambodia's sophisticated new Aman hotel, which is the perfect place to unwind after days spent exploring the incredible temples of nearby Angkor. In the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan, the hotly anticipated hilltop hotel by the team behind London's Metropolitan promises a fusion of sleek contemporary style with the vivid detailing of one of the last pristine mountain cultures on the planet.One of the most remarkable projects here is the Commune by the Great Wall, a highly innovative development by an all-star cast of Asian design talent in a stunning location beside China's most famous ancient monument. Or visit Benesse House on the remote Japanese island of Naoshima, a Zen-like retreat dedicated to the display of contemporaryart. Designed by Tadao Ando, an architect renowned for his pared-down places of worship, it is an intensely spiritual destination that has become a site of modern pilgrimage. 500 illustrations, 350 in color.
