To redress the lack of design attention that public housing in the United Kingdom has received in recent years, the Architecture Foundation and Circle 33 Housing Group organized "Accommodating Change," an international competition in housing innovation. In January 2002, they announced the student winner, Ema Bonifacic. She joins professional-category winner Peter Barber, who was announced last autumn.
In January, the American Institute of Architects announced the winners of its premier awards program. "Each winning project offers its users or inhabitants an opportunity to enjoy a sense of place, beauty, or functionality that is the hallmark of wonderful architecture."
GEORGIA DESIGNS
A light-filled office building, an elegantly simple house, and an innovative hospital are some of the exceptional projects showcased in the 2001 AIA Georgia Awards. This year's winners were selected from a wide range of scales and building types. The jury believe the chosen projects demonstrate some of the best of contemporary design.
