2015 Honors & Awards
TWENTY-FIVE YEAR AWARD
Thanks to its simple yet ingenious structural system that unifies design and function, the Broadgate Exchange House in London has been selected for the 2015 AIA Twenty-five Year Award.
|
This group of award recipients, including the new John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City, establishes a standard of excellence against which all architects can measure performance.
|
This program acknowledges outstanding building interiors created by architects licensed in the United States. The vibrant, colorful headquarters of Beats by Dre, is one of the notable winners.
|
These awards recognize projects that contribute to the quality of city planning and community development. Among the winners is the BIG U, a 10-mile protective ribbon around lower Manhattan designed in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy.
