Summer 2009 From the Publisher A temporary switch
You still will receive the same amount of editorial, covering all the topics we’ve outlined for the year, but the magazine will be printed in four issues instead of six. Our goals for Masonry Design remain the same: to educate and enlighten the design and engineering community about the benefits of using masonry materials in building structures, interiors and landscapes; and to build upon our relationships with industry-related associations so that the masonry community can develop a coordinated and consistent voice to be able to compete in the future. In addition, Editor Cory Sekine-Pettite is now posting articles on our website (www.masonrydesignmagazine.com) to provide you with breaking news and important stories between printed issues of the magazine. Each issue of the magazine now is available in digital form as well. Think of the digital version as an online archive; you can have 24/7 access to features and columns. You also can share an issue or article from Masonry Design without having to give up your printed copy; just direct your colleagues to our website. Further, most of the companies, materials, products and advertisers included in the digital version have active links to their websites. So if you want to learn more about a particular company or product, simply click on the item or page. Let Masonry Design online be your search portal, if you will. We think we have a firm grasp on the types of digital content that would be of most interest to you as we move slowly into increasing our online presence for Masonry Design. However, if you have ideas or opinions on this matter, please share them with Cory at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it . I also would like to make special note of the fact that we have a new columnist. Architect Dave Branch from Payne and Associates Architects in Montgomery, Ala., will be contributing his new “Endcap” column, providing a designer’s perspective on professional and business issues, trends and technologies, how masonry materials are being used in different ways, and much more. His first article, “It’s Not Easy Being Green,” can be found on page 48. MD – John Llewellyn Add this page to your favorite Social Bookmarking websites  |
