Today’s News - Tuesday, April 16, 2002

At the top of ANN News today is a book review of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill's first in a series of annuals, SOM Journal 1, that takes an unusual approach to a firm monograph. An intriguing new show is opening this week at the Canadian Centre for Architecture - a literal "laboratory" of spaces designed by six young firms from Montreal. The lead feature on our home page presents the computer renderings and models of the architects' visions (click "Home" above). Beginning Thursday, and through mid-September, you can see the real things.
