FIVE YEARS LATER
We bear witness this week both to an international tragedy and to the largest architectural disaster in U.S. history. Five years ago, two of our largest buildings were utterly and unexpectedly destroyed, killing thousands of people who were unable to escape them. On this anniversary, as people around the world can still feel the ground reverberating, let us pause in remembrance.

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.
