PACIFIC NORTHWEST AIA AWARDS 2008
by Brian Libby
http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/today.html
http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2008/1217/news_1-1.html
Built in the 1950s, Woodway Residence north of Seattle
was reimagined for a young family by Bohlin Cywinski
Jackson. Their intervention adds transparency and light,
and takes better advantage of the home's picturesque
wooded site. It was recently recognized by AIA Seattle.
Another, larger renovation project was honored by AIA
Portland. Booker T. Washington High School, an arts
magnet school in Dallas, Texas, hired Portland,
Oregon-based Allied Works Architecture to oversee a
major expansion and remodel of the school's original
1920s building. An outdoor performance space forms an
organizational nexus for the revamped building.
These projects were honored recently when the two major
cities of the Pacific Northwest announced the winners of
their respective local American Institute of Architects
design awards for 2008.
Like any pair of metropolises anchoring a region,
Seattle and Portland have long enjoyed a friendly
sibling rivalry. For design enthusiasts, they are,
despite many inherent similarities, a tale of two
different approaches to city building. Seattle is
traditionally the more glamorous thrill-seeker with its
architecture, while Portland is more modest.

** ArchitectureWeek is a green and low-carbon-footprint
publication. By publishing this professional design and building
magazine online-only, we save about 48 tons of paper monthly,

of mature conifer forest) each year, compared to reaching a
similar readership on paper - not counting these newsletters!
We provide ongoing pro-bono services to local non-profit
sustainability organizations. And our company offices are
