Today's News - June 12, 2002

Wednesday seems the appropriate day to launch our newest regular news column, WhoWhatWhen. There's a little bit of everything: deadlines, upcoming events, honors, firm news, on the boards, and people on the move. (We welcome suitable submissions for future WWW columns - details at the bottom of today's article.)

Our thanks for the many "hurrahs" we have received re: yesterday's news that ANN was named 2002 Best National Internet Site in Architecture by Crain's Detroit…they really made our day!
