LOUIS SULLIVAN AWARD
The Award program is administered by The American Institute of Architects, and winners are chosen by a jury selected jointly by AIA and the Bricklayers' Union. This year's jury, chaired by Edward Larrabee Barnes, took particular note of the impact that the Henry Klein Partnership has had on a relatively small area of Northwestern Washington State. The jury wrote:
"The work chosen by this year's jury wears none of today's fashionable clothing. It is direct, earthy. The architect has solved problems of program, climate and site without studying the trend machine.
"There is visual delight in these buildings. But this delight is not an applied frosting: it grows integrally from plan, from section, each thoughtfully and imaginatively servant to the program. Brick, an inspiration for 300 generations of architects, is used with confidence."
The Award and prize will be presented at the Bricklayers' Union's 1981 convention in Toronto, Canada, in October.
Members of the jury for the 1981 Sullivan Award, in addition to chairman Edward Larrabee Barnes, were: Fred Bassetti, FAIA, Seattle; Gyo Obata, FAIA, St. Louis; O'Neil Ford, FAIA, San Antonio; Eberhard Zeidler, Hon. FAIA, Toronto; Ben Trogdon, student, University of Idaho, and John H. Tabor, associate member, AIA, Charlotte, N.C.

Silicone Used to Seal Paver Joints
Joints between the more than 800 exposed aggregate block that pave the plaza and main entrance of the Amon Carter Museum of Western Art, Fort Worth, Texas, are sealed with approximately 18.000 lin. ft. of resilient silicone construction sealant. The block form the paved surface of the main entrance plaza fronting the architecturally distinguished building and the surface of the steps leading to the museum.
The 4-ft. sq., 3-in-thick block are laid on a concrete slab which rests on fill. Application of the silicone sealant in the summer of 1978 was the third time the flagstone had been caulked since the museum was built in 1962. The sealant replaces polysulfide caulk that had failed twice in 16 years.
Today, after two years' exposure and daily thermal cycling which may vary from a surface high of over 150° F. to a low well below freezing in a 24-hour period, the silicone sealant is as resilient as when it was first applied, according to its manufacturer, Dow Corning. "There is every reason to expect that it will far outlast its polysulfide predecessors," the company says.
