Graves earns AIA Gold Medal       The Humana Building in Louisville, Ky.   Michael Graves, the Robert Schirmer Professor of Architecture, has been selected to receive the 2001 AIA Gold Medal award from the American Institute of Architects. The highest honor the AIA confers to an individual, the Gold Medal recognizes a person whose significant body of work has had a lasting influence on the theory and practice of architecture. Graves, also president of the firm, Michael Graves & Associates, will receive the Gold Medal at the 2001 Accent on Architecture awards ceremony Feb. 16 in Washington, D.C. The 58th AIA Gold Medalist, he joins the ranks of such visionaries as Thomas Jefferson, Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier and I.M. Pei. Graves said he was overwhelmed when he was notified about the honor. "I was happy to get it," he said. "And it's very humbling, too, because of the peer group I work with. We're all very competitive with each other, so to get it from other architects is very special." The Gold Medal is among more than 140 awards and citations Graves has received, including the National Medal of Arts presented to him by President Clinton in 1999 for his exceptional achievements in architecture, design and education.
