DISASTER ENGINEERING New Orleans and much of the Gulf Coast areas of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama lie devastated in the days-old wake of Hurricane Katrina. As water floods through New Orleans and desperate rescues continue, our hearts go out to the hundreds of thousands whose lives have been devastated and to the untold thousands whose loved ones have been lost.

URBAN WORLDS MEETING The UIA XXII World Congress of Architecture was held in the historic city of Istanbul, Turkey in July 2005. The week-long conference, with the theme Cities: the Grand Bazaar of ArchitectureS, stimulated ideas about designer responsibility and about how new architecture might be conceived for the 21st century.

WOOD DESIGN AWARDS 2005 Well crafted wood in buildings is sometimes a conversation piece, but perhaps seldom as explicitly as in three projects recently selected to receive honors from the 2005 Wood Design Awards program. A chapel, a temporary show installation, and a house all make contributions to a conversation about what it means to design with wood.

PALLADIO AWARDS 2005 Architecture fans who think they can identify the age of a building after a quick glance may want to take a closer look at the ten recipients of the 2005 Palladio Awards. This program honors outstanding achievement in traditional design, but far from mimicking centuries-old styles, these projects pay homage to the best of architectural traditions while cleverly inserting thoroughly modern adaptations.
