NORTH CAROLINA AIA AWARDS 2003 From a lakeside concert pavilion to a product distribution plant, a collection of projects in North Carolina represent the cultural and industrial diversity of this southeastern U.S. state. These and seven other projects are the recipients of 2003 design awards from the North Carolina chapter of the American Institute of Architects.

PROPOSALS FOR THE HIGH LINE As the well publicized redevelopment process for the World Trade Center site in New York City evolves, real-estate profit motives are once again dulling what many had hoped would be a design showcase for the world's brightest architectural imaginations. Meanwhile, on Manhattan's West Side, just north of the World Trade Center site, another site is inspiring imaginative rescue scenarios.

STEEL DESIGN AWARDS 2003 Once a year, the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) takes a break from its serious work of providing technical assistance to architects, engineers, and builders. Through its Innovative Design and Excellence in Architecture with Steel (I.D.E.A.S.) awards, the institute honors a few projects that use steel and display an exemplary merging of architectural expression and structural form.

ART UNDER GLASS, UNDERGROUND In the middle of a lush, mountainside forest in Japan is a five-story structure with only a half story above ground. Yet the Pola Museum of Art in Kanagawa prefecture treats visitors to the lower floors with abundant daylight. This is because much of the building, even part of its structure, is made of glass. Designed by Koichi Yasuda, Ken Kannari, and Masao Nishioka of the Tokyo firm Nikken Sekkei Ltd., the building has won the 2003 DuPont Benedictus Award for its innovative application of laminated glass.
