| | AIArchitect This Week | Edward Larrabee Barnes, FAIA, Selected for 2007 AIA Gold Medal |
 | | Barnes was noted for crisp, geometric buildings in both rural and urban landscapes that didn’t call attention to themselves, much like the architect himself. |
 | | Barnes taught at Pratt Institute and Yale University and served as vice president to the American Academy in Rome. |
 | | Barnes becomes the 63rd AIA Gold Medallist, joining the ranks of such visionaries as Thomas Jefferson (1993), Frank Lloyd Wright (1949), Louis Sullivan (1944), LeCorbusier (1961), Louis Kahn (1971), I.M. Pei (1979), Cesar Pelli (1995), Santiago Calatrava (2005), and last year’s recipient, Antoine Predock. |
