SEATTLE DESIGN AWARDS 2006 The Seattle chapter of the American Institute of Architects has just celebrated its 55-year-old program of design awards honoring the "the state of the art in architecture produced by the Washington design community."

This award salutes his 30-year career of creating neighborhoods and communities that are livable, walkable, and diverse.

As contemporary architects follow in these illustrious footsteps, modern Chicagoans work hard to preserve their built history.
