	AIArchitect This Week—July 29, 2002

	Giving "Delight" Its Scientific Due Interdisciplinary study will match environmental factors with physiological responses in the workplace. Full Story AIA Northern Virginia 2002 Design Awards Celebration AIA Northern Virginia announced the winners of its 2002 Design Awards June 9 at a gala at the Ronald Reagan Building International Trade Center in Washington, D.C. The annual program, now in its 27th year, drew 106 entries. Winning projects are in Virginia; Washington, D.C; Maryland; New York; Tennessee; West Virginia; and New Mexico. Full Story WTC Debates Continue Site plans released July 16 for the World Trade Center have become a subject of much debate in New York City and across the country as the victims' families, public officials, architects, planners, and private citizens react to the six proposals by Beyer Blinder Belle and its partners. AIArchitect shares what the AIA New York Chapter as well as our colleagues around the country have to say about the proposed plans for the development of Lower Manhattan. Full Story Remembering J. Carter Brown, Hon. AIA Within the architecture community, J. Carter Brown, Hon. AIA, who passed away June 17 at the age of 67, was best known for bringing the arts to the American public. As director of the National Gallery of Art from 1969 to 1992, jury chair for the Pritzker Prize since its inception, and chair of the Commission of Fine Arts from 1971 until his resignation for health reasons on May 30, "J. Carter Brown was a faithful advocate for shaping our environments so our experiences will be elevated and enriched." Full Story HONORS AND AWARDS In Search of: The Few, The Proud, The Honorary Members Nominations are due December 20. Every year, the AIA taps an average of 10 people to receive the title of Honorary Member, one of the highest honors the Institute bestows on a person outside the profession of architecture. People receive honorary membership only if their accomplishments are judged to be truly outstanding and of national significance. Editors and economists, engineers and attorneys, historians and archivists, politicians and community activists all have been named Hon. AIAs in recent years—who would head your list?
