WARMTH — AND LIGHT — THROUGH WOOD The award-winning Bigelow Chapel in New Brighton, Minnesota exudes intimacy and warmth. To help flood the small sanctuary with light, HGA architect Joan Soranno created spectacular sweeps from translucent maple veneer. Next week writer Katharine Logan will explain more about this technological innovation and its effect on the spiritual aura of the space (photo by George Heinrich).

2006 AIA GOLD MEDAL The American Institute of Architects has announced that the prestigious AIA Gold Medal will go this year to Antoine Predock, FAIA. The announcement described Predock designs as "buildings that grow out of their unique landscapes, creating... symbols that are fearlessly expressive and sincere.” One of his buildings is the Arizona Science Center in Phoenix (photo by Timothy Hursley). Next week we'll take a look at this and other award winners.
