ENVIRONMENTAL GRAPHIC DESIGN AWARDS 2002 The Society for Environmental Graphic Design has announced the results of its 2002 awards program. Environmental Graphic Design embraces many design disciplines including graphic, architectural, and industrial design, all concerned with the visual aspects of wayfinding, communicating identity and information, and shaping the idea of place.

WTC SITE MASTER PLANNING TEAM SELECTED Questions about the next stage in determining the future of the World Trade Center site in New York City were apparently resolved on May 22, 2002 when the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation (LMDC) announced that it had chosen the team of Beyer Blinder Belle and Parsons Brinckerhoff to develop a master plan for reconstruction. Beyer Blinder Belle, best known for its restoration of Grand Central Terminal, was one of 15 architecture and design firms that offered bids to the LMDC and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
