DESIGN FOR BUSINESS 2002 For each of the last six years, McGraw-Hill's Business Week and Architectural Record magazines have joined forces to honor projects that highlight how architecture can support business goals by improving image and workplace efficiency. These award-winning projects may succeed by making employees happier, by enhancing the experience of the visiting public, or generally easing the interactions between people and the architectural space they inhabit.

LIBESKIND SCHEME CHOSEN FOR WTC On February 27, 2003, the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation (LMDC) selected Studio Daniel Libeskind and their widely-applauded design to guide the reconstruction of the World Trade Center site in New York. The "Memory Foundations" submission by the Polish-American architect emerged from a competition lasting many months, involving some of the best known architects in the world, and inspiring a lively, often rancorous, public debate. Although the debating is far from over, there now appears to be a framework from which to develop a long-term reconstruction plan.

BUREAU ASSAR AND SOM WIN NEW NATO The North Atlantic Treaty Organization announced in January 2003 the results of an international architectural design competition for a new NATO Headquarters. They have selected a consortium made up of the London office of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and the Belgian Bureau Assar to design the new building. Scheduled for completion in 2009, it will be located adjacent to the current NATO headquarters in Brussels, Belgium.

25-YEAR AWARD TO DESIGN RESEARCH HEADQUARTERS Pulitzer Prize-winning author and architect Robert Campbell, FAIA, described it as "a glass vitrine at the scale of architecture, a display case for the contents inside? The glass facets of the facade give it the character of a cut jewel." The Design Research Headquarters building in Cambridge, Massachusetts is the newest recipient of the prestigious 25-Year Award by the American Institute of Architects.
