Rep. Condino offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 34.

A resolution proclaiming April 9 – 14, 2007, as National Architecture Week in the state of Michigan.

            Whereas, American architects have historically expressed through their work the richness of our heritage and the vitality of our national spirit.  They have combined advances in building technology with design innovation to give exciting new forms to our cities and communities; and

            Whereas, The architecture profession in Michigan, through the American Institute of Architects, has been especially vigilant in its stewardship of many of our state’s great architectural and historical treasures and in its efforts on behalf of building healthy, safe, livable, sustainable communities that enrich the lives of people in every walk of life; and

            Whereas, April 13, 2007 marks the 150th anniversary of the American Institute of Architects.  With a spirit of appreciation, the people of the state of Michigan honor and congratulate the Institute, its 80,000 members and the 281,000 Americans who work in architecture firms for their many contributions to our nation, to our state, and to each of our communities; now, therefore, be it

            Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body proclaim April 9 – 14, 2007, as National Architecture Week in the state of Michigan.  We urge all people of Michigan and local government agencies to observe the week with appropriate ceremonies.
