	JEAN NOUVEL PRITZKER PRIZE In a world where so much contemporary construction is so repetitively mundane, in the majority, and so dissociatively egotistical, in the contrasting minority, it is a deepening pleasure to celebrate poetically bold, eloquently sensitive, contextually beautiful work. And that's just the celebration we find in the 2008 Pritzker Prize award to Jean Nouvel of France. — Published 2008.0402

	DAVID CHIPPERFIELD STIRLING PRIZE The Stirling Prize for 2007 has been awarded to the Museum of Modern Literature in Marbach am Neckar, Germany, designed by David Chipperfield Architects. With a spare colonnade around its boxy, minimalist form, the Museum (Literaturmuseum der Moderne) is something of a neoclassical Parthenon, helping the larger cluster of buildings — which also includes the National Schiller Museum (1903) and the Archive for German Literature (1970s) — come together as a seeming Acropolis atop its ridge overlooking the River Neckar. — Published 2007.1010

	AIA/SF DESIGN AWARDS 2007 As usual, in their 2007 Design Honor Awards the San Francisco Chapter of the Amewrican Institute of Architects (AIA) presents a wide array of projects ranging from abstract to earthy.
