WASHINGTON CELEBRATES ARCHITECTURE "There are more important buildings in the nation's capital than you know. There is more innovation than you can imagine." With these words, the Washington D.C. chapter of the American Institute of Architects welcomed both public and professionals to its third annual of celebration "Architecture Week" this fall. Although most of the events were postponed because of the disasters in Washington, New York, and Pennsylvania, the celebration concluded recently as an affirmation of local architecture.
