CESAR PELLI'S GIFT: A CAPITAL GATEWAY; Striking Architecture Provides a Spectacle To Lift the Spirit
With today's opening of the National Airport's new extension, the romance of air travel has again been given its architectural due in Washington. The new building has lots of modest virtues -- it is easy to get to and get around in, clear where many airports are confusing, colorful where they are gray, light where they are dark. Yet its lasting allure will always be based on the big, elongated interior with the double row of domes, the well-integrated artworks and, most important, a high, transparent wall that echoes the 1941 original, and is a great deal longer. The package may not be perfect, but it sure is a swell improvement on what we had -- and on airport design standards in general. In sum, the great gift that architect Cesar Pelli gave here -- over and above the efficiency of the new terminal -- is his awareness that airports are public places. And his conviction -- along with that of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority -- that this is something architects must honor in every way they can.

ONE PARK WORST?
Cllr Berni Turner, Liverpool\"s executive member for the environment, said: \"Great architecture will always create passionate debate and discussion because it is subjective and divides opinion, and one person's monstrosity is another's masterpiece. \"Modern, thriving, forward looking cities such as Liverpool don\"t simply stand still and reject every scheme that doesn't have 18th or 19th century design features.\" Grosvenor's projects director Guy Butler said One Park West had replaced a \"wasteland\", adding: \"International architecture is supposed to get people talking, and if everyone likes it, you haven't done it right.\"

West Life
With a prominent position alongside Liverpool's famous 'Three Graces', One Park West reembodies the American influence that shaped the architecture of Liverpool's waterfront buildings a century ago. \"The Liver, Cunard and Port of Liverpool buildings each has its own style and scale, but they all have the classical \"ordering\", the layering that was so popular with Liverpool's Edwardian architects. A rich palette of colours has been selected to contrast with the building's glass exterior and contemporary artwork by local architect Trevor Skempton is also featured. \"Expect the unexpected with this apartment.
