<!-- #BeginEditable "event body" --> AIA Seattle and the Historic Resources Committee have invited architects and designers to submit examples of work that juxtapose modern with historic architecture, for display at AIA Seattle Gallery in May 2003 and panel review. In a program May 15, an expert panel will review the projects and provide a discussion of the exhibited work.

Panelists will include:
Ann M. Beha FAIA
Ann Beha is the founder and president of Ann Beha Architects of Boston. Among the firm's commissions are designs for the performing and visual arts, libraries and academic buildings, museums, cultural heritage sites, and the preservation and expansion of some of the country's most important historic landmarks.

Peter Bohlin FAIA
Peter Bohlin is the founding design principal of Bohlin Cywinski Jackson. The firm has received over 230 design awards and is noted for an architecture that thoughtfully relates to the particular nature of the circumstances surrounding each project. The circumstances of many of these have dealt with the existing building fabric and the firm�s responses show a surprising range of solutions germane to the relationship of the past and present.

Ed Weinstein FAIA
Ed Weinstein is the founding partner of Weinstein A|U, Architects + Urban Designers. The firm is the frequent recipient of national, regional, and AIA Seattle design awards for a broad array of building types. The firm is recognized for its contextually responsive, modernist design approach and has designed many buildings that enhance the fabric and character of Seattle's neighborhoods.

Karen Gordon
Karen Gordon has served as the City of Seattle's Historic Preservation Officer since 1984. Prior to moving to Seattle, she worked with the Office of Public/Private Partnerships at the Department of Housing and Urban Development and with the National Register Program at the National Park Service. She also served as a consultant to the National Trust for Historic Preservation in the preparation of "Federal Taxation and Preservation of America's Heritage."

Types of Projects submitted:

We seek to learn from designs of built and unbuilt projects that
- highlight the strengths of adjacent historic architecture without the use of replication or imitation of that historic architecture;
- juxtapose historic and modern architecture in ways that shed light on both old and new;
- reveal a spatial or material richness resulting from building modern while retaining (and enhancing) the historic architectural context.
