  People Are Talking . . . About Architecture!

The AIA’s “America’s Favorite Architecture” poll, the results of which were released on February 7, has drawn an avalanche of comment and debate about the public’s choice of the 150 best works of architecture in this country. Newspaper articles and editorials have blossomed from Boston to the Bay Area, sparking interest in the poll as well as other activities planned by the AIA’s national, state, and local components to celebrate the Institute’s sesquicentennial this year. Arguably most interesting are the blogs on the AIA 150 Web site, in particular the “What’s Missing?” blog, which to date has drawn close to 200 comments from architects and members of the public alike. If you haven’t seen the list yet, visit the Web site and tell us what you think. (Pictured is the public’s choice for the Number One Building: New York City’s Empire State Building, designed by Shreve Lamb, & Harmon in 1931.)
