Odermatt
Honored With 2004 AIA Kemper Award
The AIA Board of Directors elected Robert A. Odermatt, FAIA, as
the 2004 recipient of the Edward C. Kemper Award for outstanding
service. Named in honor of the AIA’s first executive director,
the award recognizes individuals who contribute significantly to
the profession of architecture through service to the Institute.
Brown
Earns Whitney Young Award
Architect’s work touches those in
need
overseas and in the U.S.
The AIA named Terrance J. Brown, FAIA, as the recipient of the 2004
Whitney M. Young Jr. Award, given to an architect who exemplifies
the profession’s responsibility to society. The award honors
Whitney Young Jr.—head of the Urban League from 1961 until
his death in 1971—who, at the 1968 AIA national conference,
chided the audience of architects and challenged them to become
a positive force for social change: “You are not a profession
that has distinguished itself by your social and civic contributions
to the cause of civil rights. You are most distinguished by your
thunderous silence and your complete irrelevance.”
Five
Exceptional Practitioners Receive Young Architects Award
The AIA has chosen five outstanding young architects, defined as
professionals who have been licensed 10 years or fewer regardless
of age, to receive the 2004 Young Architects Award. The award honors
individuals who have shown exceptional leadership and made significant
contributions to the profession early in their careers.

AIA
West Virginia Honors Five Projects in the Beautiful Mountain State
A university research and teaching facility, amphitheater shelter,
memorial garden, residential neighborhood infill, and interior casework
for a residence make up the winners of AIA West Virginia’s
2003 Design & Craftsmanship Awards Program, which celebrates
the state’s finest architects and projects. A jury of Chair
Frank Michielli, AIA; John Reed, AIA; Carl Krebs, AIA; Chris Grabe,
AIA; Marcelo Barujel; and Dan Shannon, AIA, all of New York, chose
the five projects. Chapter members feted the winners at their annual
banquet late last year in Charleston, W.Va.

Date Is April 12
Thirteen architects already have declared
their candidacy for three national AIA offices.
Your Kiplinger Connection (members
only)
The economy: The slow but steady
growth continues, interest rates to rise this summer, and metals
prices soaring. Property trends:
The surge in house sales will slow, and big-box stores continue
to build. Trade: EU retaliatory
tariffs will be offset somewhat by a continued shrinking of the
dollar.
AIArchitect offers AIA members exclusive access to three
stories a week to help them manage their practices and plan for
the coming year. Nonmembers
may subscribe to The Kiplinger Letter.

BEST
PRACTICES (members only)
Ellerbe Becket Explores the Patient Room
of the Future
Aging boomers, fewer health-care providers, increased demand for
sustainable design, and the need for flexibility of use are among
the factors that drove a brainstorming session on how patient rooms
will look and perform over the next 30 years. The firm invites anyone
interested to join their next online conference on the topic February
17.
Heads
Up: 2004–2005 Justice
Facilities Review Deadlines Approaching
Fees and forms due February 20; submission
binders, March 20
The AIA Committee on Architecture for Justice invites all registered
architects to submit projects that represent the state-of-the-art
in justice facility design for publication in the 2004–2005
Justice Facilities Review. The review features a wide range

centers; and law-enforcement, detention, correctional, emergency-operations,
multiple-use, and special-treatment facilities.
ArchVoices Introduces
2004 Essay Competition
ArchVoices announces the Second Annual ArchVoices Essay Competition.
Its organizers note that this year’s topic has been expanded
from “internship” to “the profession—from
your present, to our future.” The range of prizes and sponsors
has also expanded, as has the time you have to respond. Stage One
essays (500 words) are due March 19.
But, urge the competition organizers, “prove another architecture
stereotype wrong and turn yours in early.”
Wanted:
Projects for Inside the Not
So Big House
Submissions due April 20
Susanka Studios is seeking submissions of architect-designed houses
to be featured in an upcoming book, Inside
the Not So Big House. Award-winning architect and author
Sarah Susanka, AIA, and editor Marc Vassallo, Assoc. AIA, will collaborate
on this new addition to the “Not So Big House” series.
The selected houses will have exceptional interior spaces—rich
in detail, spatial ideas, design features, materials, and craftsmanship.
The book will emphasize interiors, but will also consider the overall
house design and present the exterior of the house. Check
the Not So Big House Web site for requirements and the submission
form. Questions? Contact submissions@notsobighouse.com.
