Libeskind
Plan Selected for WTC Site
New York City officials announced February 27 that they unanimously
chose Daniel Libeskind’s site plan for the World Trade Center,
calling it a “compelling vision” that is both “breathtaking
and practical.”
“There is still a long road ahead of us,” Lower Manhattan
Development Corporation Chair John Whitehead said, but lauded Libeskind’s
plan as “the best map with which to start the journey.”
During a press conference to announce the selection officially,
Whitehead called the street plan “ingenious.”
Divine
Grounds: Multipurpose Worship Center Expands Church’s Ministries
and Fellowship
When Grace Church and its burgeoning congregation and expanding
ministries voted to erect a new 4,500-seat church on a 62-acre site
in Eden Prairie, Minn., they turned to Hammel Green and Abrahamson
Inc. (HGA), Minneapolis, to design a multipurpose worship center
that would honor the congregation’s vision, support its educational
goals, and incorporate theatrical and performance capabilities.

State Chapter Applauds a Great Gumbo of
Good Design
AIA Louisiana honored four architecture firms for nine homegrown
projects—from a golf clubhouse to a room-within-a-room for
a 12-year-old girl—in its 2003 awards program. Five of the
buildings were additions or renovations, including one restoration
of an 1840s French Creole house that was moved to a different parish
to save it from destruction. Eskew+Dumez+Ripple pulled off a hat
trick winning three of the awards.

Writing Proposals: Who Are Your Readers?
The first rule of effective communication is: Know your audience.
When you answer a government-agency RFP, you have a much higher
likelihood of success if you present your proposal with each of
the three tiers of reviewers firmly in mind: mistake finders, proposal
evaluators, and decision makers.
