The shortlist includes Canada's legendary Arthur Erickson, Britain's audacious Will Alsop, Randall Stout of Los Angeles and the world's most famous female architect, Iraqi-born Zaha Hadid, who is also working out of London, England. The quality of the expressions of interest has stunned the gallery's executive director, Tony Luppino.
