...Colonial Church, on the outskirts of Minneapolis, was designed by Architect Richard F. Hammel, 58, of Hammel Green Abrahamson, Inc., a Minneapolis-based firm. "Designing religious buildings is arduous," says Hammel. "It took six years of discussions and hard work with the congregation and its pastor, Dr. Arthur Rouner Jr., to achieve a harmonious understanding of the function and meaning of their church. But it is wonderful work, because something other than dollars is valued. You are designing for the celebration of human life...
...rather than a resident congregation. No larger than a tall barn, it stands at the bend of a wooded trail, high in the Ozark Mountains. An almost transparent structure of mostly timber and glass, it seems to be one with the surrounding woods and rocks. The chapel's architect, E. Fay Jones of Fayetteville, Ark., who studied with Frank Lloyd Wright, describes it as a kind of reversal of gothic cathedral architecture. The trusses inside the structure form a repetitive, rhythmic lattice pattern as evocative as a Bach fugue...
Thomas Jefferson, the architect President, designed parts of the White House. Now with Ronald Reagan, the thespian President, there are plans to build a movie-set White House in the Maryland suburbs. The Secret Service plans to put up the mock White House (and a false-front Blair House, the nearby VIP guest quarters) so that its burgeoning presidential security force can properly learn the particulars of the presidential mansion.

Into four feet of water, said to be inhabited by a sleepy, well-fed alligator, went Beman, camel blazer, tassled loafers and all. Pate then cast Tournament Players Club course Architect Pete Dye, 56, in too. "Jerry made us both look like a pair of awkward storks," says Beman. "Then he makes the most perfect dive you've ever seen. Absolutely flawless form." All wet or not, Beman, pro golfs tour commissioner since 1974, knows good form when he sees...
...have pointed to the Fogg Art Museum for evidence. The Fogg, attached to Harvard in Cambridge, Mass., is beyond doubt the most distinguished university collection in the U.S. Its building is also one of the most outmoded, and in 1981 Harvard announced that James Stirling, England's leading architect, would design an addition to it. But early last February, with $21.5 million raised, Harvard President Derek Bok decided to scrap the whole project, citing risks of construction cost overruns and fears that the new museum would be too expensive to maintain. Amid general confusion and doubt, Bok agreed...
