CLASSICAL PORPHYRIOS PRIZED In an age when modern and "post-modern" buildings compete for attention, a London-based architect has made a name for himself designing buildings that might have come down from antiquity. Demetri Porphyrios, both a practicing architect and a theorist, is known for his design of traditional and classical forms. He has recently been awarded the second annual Richard H. Driehaus Prize for Classical Architecture from the University of Notre Dame School of Architecture.

25-YEAR AWARD TO PEI'S EAST WING In 1981, the East Wing of the National Gallery of Art, designed by I.M. Pei, was the recipient of a national honor award from the American Institute of Architects. Last month, the Washington D.C. building was further honored with the AIA's Twenty-Five Year Award for architecture of enduring significance.
