Returning to Paris to a year’s worth of Architectural Record magazines makes for a lot of page turning — so much that turning becomes a reflex. The occasional item makes an impact, such as the editorial about the UIA Congress in Istanbul by Robert Ivy, AIA. I thought the editorial was important enough that I asked permission from Architectural Record (AR) to reproduce it for AIA Continental Europe members who either missed it, do not receive Record or wish to read it again. The editorial remains online in the AR archives: Architectural Record | Editorials | August 2005.
