CALIFORNIA AIA AWARDS 2006 This summer the American Institute of Architects California Council (AIACC) announced the 2006 recipients of its annual design awards program. Five honor awards were given to California architects, for projects at home and as far flung as Pennsylvania and London. One of the local projects is a residence hall complex for the University of California, Berkeley, designed by Esherick, Homsey, Dodge, & Davis (EHDD) Architecture.

BUILDING PAINTINGS As part of "Paris Calling," a season of contemporary French art exhibits around London, host venue Camden Arts Centre and Le Plateau/ Frac Ile-de-France have collaborated to present "Archipeinture: Painters Build Architecture," an entire exhibition curated around artists' views of architecture.

MICHIGAN AIA AWARDS In May 2006, in its annual awards program, the Michigan Chapter of the American Institute of Architects cited sixteen projects for design excellence and creativity. Many of these fall, coincidentally, into pairs of similar building types, inviting design comparisons.

Its designer, architect Hugh Stubbins, Jr., who challenged modern skyscraper orthodoxy of the time, died July 5, 2006 at the age of 94.
