AIA Chicago announced their 2006 Design Awards today. Ammar got an interior nomination for his Me Miyake interior:
It's very interesting, Ammar's work has always been minimal in the sense of how it reacts to program and having open plans. But this space is surprisingly hard edged and orthogonal, in contrast to the work that he was doing when i was in his class.
Also today, i got my very own copy of architect magazine1. You know the one, it used to be called architecture magazine, but now it always has some attractive starchitect plastered on the cover. Apparently their attempts to convert architecture into a celebrity sport aren't going so well. it's bad enough that they ship them out to every firm, but now they're trolling the phonebooks. mine came addressed to an architect who hasn't lived here since the building was remodelled.
