If you watched the APT program I produced about the state entrepreneurs competing to have their Internet-based business launched, you may have been struck by the design of the building in which the competition was held...Innovation Depot in downtown Birmingham. It's in an old Sears that i remember shopping in when I first moved to Birmingham in '76. I found out after the fact that the project to turn the old department store into the business incubator was done by my friend Alan Tischanski, an architect with Williams Blackstock in Birmingham! To quote their news release: "WB won an Honor Award for the project in the 2008 States AIA Design Awards Competition! There were 158 entries and 11 awards in this year’s competition, which was judged by a group from Chicago. The awards were presented at the AIA’s national convention in Boston." Great work Alan!!!
