EXPRESSION OF ARCHITECTURE We would like to declare our optimism: architecture is an expression of human life and liberty. Beyond people's immediate needs, it signifies the ideals that pervade their lives, expressing their quest for beauty, harmony and perfection, reflecting the energy, inspiration, invention, and creativity that enliven a country.

PELLI'S RENEWED INVESTMENT BUILDING Building by building, Cesar Pelli is adding his touch to the staid architecture of Washington, D.C. In 1997, his terminal at Reagan National Airport, just south of the city, opened to rave reviews for its soaring, light- and art-filled bays beneath open trusses and for its dramatically silhouetted, metal-sheathed tower and terminal modules.

RESPECT ON CAMPUS Honoring your elders is not today's most popular theme in architectural design. But a new classroom building on the Brown University campus, designed by the Providence, Rhode Island firm of William Kite Architects, shows that it is possible to work within the fabric of an old building with originality while paying homage to what has come before. The result is a "new" building striking in its inventiveness.
