Washington - Architecture's Natural Winner Earthy Designer Antoine Predock Takes This Year's AIA Gold Medal
Antoine Predock, architecture's poet of sky and earth, has won the 2006 Gold Medal of the American Institute of Architects.
In announcing the award yesterday, the AIA saluted the New Mexico architect for an approach 'born out of his geographic surroundings, the American West, an open desert full of history and expansive space.' 'I'm floating,' Predock said by phone from his Albuquerque studio. A 7-degree chill made a celebratory ride on one of his collection of motorcycles impractical, but there was plenty of effervescence to share with members of his team, who 'have gone along with my idiosyncratic weirdness for a long time.'
