The AIA Seattle Medal 2002:
The highest award that AIA Seattle can confer on one of its own Members, the AIA Seattle Medal recognizes distinguished lifetime achievement in architecture including design and professional practice, and service to the profession, the community, education, and the arts, or any combination of these.
David C. Hoedemaker FAIA
The individual dedication of David Hoedemaker to design excellence helped forge the reputation, stature, and success of one of the nation's largest architecture and design practices at NBBJ. Dave's exemplary and profound commitment to design quality has shaped the design practice culture of the Northwest through decades of professional leadership at NBBJ and AIA Seattle. His extensive community service over several decades made him a respected emissary for design to the city's cultural and civic institutions. This heritage combining design and service has also stamped hundreds if not thousands of design professionals who have worked at NBBJ or as collaborators on projects throughout the Northwest and around the world. In addition to the individuals and practices influenced by this exemplary architect, his colleagues admire achievements produced by NBBJ's design culture that have won international design competitions and shape the Seattle design landscape, including Battelle Conference Center, University Friends Meeting, Two Union Square (completed 1989, "perhaps the best of the city's tall buildings of its era"), and landmark buildings around the world.

AIA Seattle Honorary Membership
recognizes a person of esteemed character who has rendered to the profession of architecture a valuable service within the territory of the Chapter, and has conspicuously upheld the aims of the profession.

Honorees in 2002 include three members of the Bullitt Family - a generation carrying forward a family tradition of commitment to culture and the built environment, each in a distinct way:

Priscilla "Patsy" Bullitt Collins
AIA Seattle recognizes Patsy Collins for her great gifts to the public, including the Stimson Green Mansion. Her remarkable dedication to the arts and culture assured creation of a new landmark at Benaroya Hall and its Garden of Remembrance; while her commitment to serving community through good design has helped nurture the Seattle Housing Resource Group, Puget Sound Environmental Learning Center, and other altruistic and educational public enterprise.

Harriet Bullitt
AIA Seattle honors Harriett Bullitt for her central role in the creation of an extraordinary place of environmental vision at Sleeping Lady, a unique learning facility that enriches the cultural and natural life of central Washington. Also, with others of the Bullitt family, she has perpetuated the community arts heritage of Seattle and Washington through the gifts of Beethoven, Inc. and KING-FM to the public.

Stimson Bullitt
AIA Seattle commends the singular vision of Stimson Bullitt, a significant force in the achievement, now becoming visible to all, of downtown Seattle's waterfront connection and the vitality of First Avenue. His energy sustained the possibility for the decades it took to reach fruition, in Harbor Steps and in a variety of other key projects that depend upon and advance this bold concept for a great urban place and a cordial Pacific gateway.

Jon Magnusson
As Chairman/CEO of Skilling Ward Magnusson Barkshire, Jon has created a portfolio of completed projects in 43 states and 27 countries, including notable local work for Benaroya Hall, the Experience Music Project, Key Arena, Safeco Field, the new Seahawk stadium, and the new Seattle Central Library. In 2002, the American Council of Engineering Companies named him Washington's "Consulting Engineer of the Year." In the days and months following the tragedies of 9/11/01, Jon Magnusson helped Americans and the world to understand the miracle of engineering that allowed many to survive the attacks on the World Trade Center. The original engineering masterpiece, and Jon's articulate explanations, exemplify the highest values of design and the design professions. A dedicated partner in practice and ally in design, he has demonstrated outstanding and intelligent leadership in making design comprehensible and accessible, even to our youngest citizens, through his advocacy and his commitment to mentoring.

Mary Randlett
AIA Seattle honors Mary Randlett's career, more than half a century spent in observing the natural environment as well as the art and the urban form of the NW, and its remarkable artists and architects. As a partner to some of this century's most revered architects including Ralph Anderson, Fred Bassetti, Ibsen Nelsen, and Victor Steinbrueck among others, she provided the photographic documentation that informed "Action: Better City" in the mid-1960s, helping that design initiative to have a major effect in shaping the Puget Sound urban region. Her photographs in the 1992 publication Art in Seattle's Public Places and Roger Sales's popular 1994 Seeing Seattle have also acquainted many with Seattle's character and its culture. More recently, Deloris Tarzan Ament's Iridescent Light: The Emergence of Northwest Art depends upon Mary Randlett's photographs of both the artists and their work.
