BEST OF THE WEST If you're looking for some of the best in design that North American architecture has to offer, heed Horace Greeley's advice to "Go West!" The winners of the Western International Design Awards, 17 in all, display a breadth of approaches, many with acute sensitivity to the regional flavor and people of their locale. The awards were announced at the American Institute of Architects' Western International Summit a few weeks ago in Sun Valley, Idaho.

CALATRAVA RECOGNIZED Santiago Calatrava, the renowned Spanish engineer, architect and artist, has received the 2000 Algur H. Meadows Award for Excellence in the Arts. The award was presented in November at the Meadows School of the Arts at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. Calatrava has gained an international reputation for integrating technology and aesthetics, producing dynamic structural forms that challenge traditional practice in both architecture and engineering.

SEATTLE ARCHITECTS GO PUBLIC One of the fastest-growing cities in the United States is Seattle, Washington. Home to Microsoft, Amazon.com, and other well-endowed companies, Seattle is experiencing a building boom in quality as well as quantity. Amidst this renaissance of the built environment, AIA Seattle, the city's chapter of the American Institute of Architects, has set aside time again this autumn for their annual Architecture Week, actually a 10 day period, rich with events dedicated to public outreach and professional celebration.
