Alum returns to New Haven and retraces to the steps of a mentor
In renovating Paul Rudolph’s iconic Yale Art and Architecture Building, Charles Gwathmey, FAIA, and his firm Gwathmey Siegel & Associates have been tasked with recovering a landmark from years of disuse, disdain, and disaster that arose from an intersection of changing architectural fashions and political climate. Gwathmey (who worked on the building’s design while he was a student at Yale) will present Rudolph’s design as it was originally intended, and his additions to the building continue in its tradition of abstract Modernism.

 Deadline for Pettigrew ARE Scholarship Extended to February 27
Recognizing his contributions to internship, licensure, and the profession—including his own pursuit of the Architecture Registration Exam—the National Associates Committee is pleased to offer the third national ARE scholarship in honor of Jason Pettigrew, Assoc. AIA. The scholarship, sponsored by Kaplan, recognizes the significant contributions of interns at an early stage of their career and encourages them to complete licensure. (Awards are not based on financial need as much as they are based on contributions the intern has made to his or her profession and/or community.) Scholarship recipients will receive a full set of Kaplan ARE Study Guides and the current cost of passing all divisions of the ARE one time. Applications, which must be in electronic format, are due to NAC on February 27, 5:00 p.m. ET. The scholarship will be awarded at the Emerging Professionals Awards Ceremony at the AIA 2008 National Convention in Boston in May. For more information, including submission requirements, or to download an application form, visit the NAC Web site.
