Victor Caliandro, AIA, died February 15 of a heart attack or stroke, his wife told the New York Times. He was 58.

Caliandro was a principal and director of urban design at the Cunningham Group, Minneapolis, and an adjunct professor at the University of Minnesota College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture. According to an appreciation in the Times, he worked on plans for developing the Mississippi riverfront in St. Paul and helped design two light rail stations. Born in Jersey City, N.J., Caliandro spent most of his early years in Rome and Naples. He studied architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and received advanced degrees from there and from Columbia University. For 10 years he had his own firm, Caliandro & Associates, New York, and worked on the master plan, housing guidelines, and park for Battery Park City, N.Y. Just two weeks ago, Caliandro took architecture students to New York to work on redevelopment plans for the World Trade Center site, the Times noted.

Donald Prowler, FAIA, died February 7 of kidney cancer. A memorial service was held February 17 at Princeton University.

As one appreciation by a former colleague noted, "his unique career path had three distinct branches: architecture, research, and education, and he was well-respected in each." Prowler was esteemed for his contributions to sustainable design and the development of energy-efficient buildings. Among his many affiliations, Prowler was part of the Sustainable Buildings Industry Council and cofounded the mid-Atlantic Solar Energy Association. He helped produce "Designing Low-Energy Buildings with Energy-10 Software," a publication that has helped introduce architects, students, and builders to the concepts of integrating daylighting and other passive solar design strategies into commercial, institutional, and residential buildings.

Prowler was a member of the architecture faculty at the University of Pennsylvania and taught at Princeton University. Among other honors, he was a recipient and juror of the Progressive Architecture Research Awards program. Prowler has authored or edited several works, including Modest Mansions, Teaching Passive Solar Design in Architecture, and Passive Solar: State of the Art. He received his AB from Princeton University and his MArch from the University of Pennsylvania. He became a fellow of the AIA in 1990.

Prowler's family has asked that donations be made to the National Adoption Center, 1500 Walnut Street, Suite 701, Philadelphia, PA 19102, or the National Foundation for Cancer Research, 4600 East-West Highway, Suite 525, Bethesda, MD 20814.
