It’s that time of the year again; Obligatory “end of year” lists. Best of this, worst of that. Most fly by my eyes in a matter of minutes with little more then an “ohhh” or “ahhh” but The Big Pictur [...]

A key to the redesign of the SALA website was to present the UBC School of Architecture as a leader in the education of architecture, as well as to reflect a culture of design, research and community within the four recently merged departments. Additionally, the site required the delivery and management of a vast amount of program and admissions information in diverse graphic and textual forms in an easy to navigate format.
In contrast to the many brochure-style school websites, the SALA site presents the exemplary work that is produced on an ongoing day-to-day basis by its community. The design dynamically features content individually input by staff, faculty and students using a Drupal platform as a content management framework and an HTML and Flash presentation layer. Through the provision of individual blogs/conversations and the areas of the site provided to key groups, the site fosters interaction, exchange and exploration amongst the SALA community.
Congratulations to Mark, Ben, Haig, Amanda, Kevin, Cameron, Matthew, Sarah and everyone else who had a hand in bringing this terrific project to life.

With categories like Designer, Programmer, Educator and Company of the year, I wonder how the nomination, selection and award process works. The explanation on the site leaves a bit to be desired, and upon drilling down to the personal site of one of the nominees (who has been recognized in 2008, 2006, 2005 and 2001) I found out that they were also on the judging committee in 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. Hmmm...conflict of interest?
Easy to bitch I know, the bottom line is that there's some high quality work being recognized worth of checking out.
