From the editor.(Editorial)
Now that the holiday season is over, many people are busy making their New Year's resolutions. One suggestion for architects and designers in 2009 would be to take advantage of the diverse continuing educational opportunities that are available--particularly those offered by professionals in the stone and tile industries.

I know this is a topic that I have mentioned in the past, but I believe it is important for it to be said again because many might not realize the broad range of seminars and programs that are out there. As last year was coming to a close, I participated in an innovative, interactive session on the use of stone in architecture, and I thought it would be appropriate to share my experiences here.
VeronaFiere--the trade fair company that owns and manages Marmomacc, a leading international stone exhibition that is held annually in Verona, Italy--collaborated with Mapei, a leading manufacturer of maintenance and installation products, to host a two-day seminar program that allowed architects to earn LU credits towards their accreditation for the American Institute of Architects (AIA).
One of the presentations was an on-site visit to a luxury residential high-rise in Manhattan that is targeted for LEED-Platinum certification by the U.S. Green Building Council and the recent recipient of the 2008 EPA New York City Green Building Competition Grand Prize.
