DesignAlabama Journal 2009
Welcome to our 2009 annual issue. With the advent of DA Online delivering timely short features and project news via e-mail, we have upgraded our journal format to focus on more and greater in-depth articles. This change also offers us the opportunity to take a longer view of design projects over time while still showcasing recent ones. In this inaugural annual issue, we take a look at the power of landscape in its grand mature state. We celebrate green design with a brownfield project turned LEED Silver. In our Community Profile we cover a small town making the most of its ideal location. In here, too, we examine the transformation of a block of old buildings into one of Montgomery’s most exciting entertainment venues. Join us to learn more about logos and branding, discover how industrial designers create their innovative designs and find out how architects turn a ‘brute’ of a building into a beauty.
