2001 Design Award Winners (Unbuilt Projects)

Citations and Jurors' comments

• Omniplan Inc. for Snack Food Manufacturing Support, five U.S. locations. "Rather than being a cookie cutter corporate prototype design, the uniqueness of each site would be enhanced. The forms are successful in their solidity and transparency."
• HNTB Architects Engineers Planners, Corgan Associates, and HKS, Inc., for Terminal D, Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, Tex. "[The terminal's] graceful roof form makes the design attractive from the parking side as well as the plane side. There is an interesting use of materials in the public spaces that departs from the norm."
• Laguarda.Low Architects, for Troia Hotel Casino, Troia, Portugal. "As an international project in a remote location, it shows sensitivity to context that creates a sense of place."
• RTKL Associates Inc., for the Charles W. Eisemann Center, Richardson, Tex. "This performing arts center project gives a civic function to a group of office buildings and uses circulation to organize the project. The space of the plaza is drawn into the building in a clear way."
• Teruya Arquitectos y Asociados, for City Express, Lima. "This design for a laundry and dry cleaning establishment recognizes its urban context with the use of a wall to define the space. The abstract idea of cleanliness is given form by a water mirror above the entrance canopy that creates reflections on the lobby ceiling. Environmental considerations are introduced through clerestory windows that bring in natural light, as well as a natural ventilation system."

Honor Awards (Built Projects)

• RTKL Associates Inc. and Selzer Associates, Inc. for Mockingbird Station, Dallas
• Edward M. Baum & John Maruszczak and Oglesby-Greene Architects, for the Dallas Police Memorial. "We really liked the conceptual art piece, where the numbers on the roof cast a negative shadow on the ground. We can imagine how they change over the period of a day."
• Morrison Seifert Murphy, for Travis Street Houses, Dallas. "Great economy, simple, no-nonsense. It was very coherent, especially for a small house. The wall had the right amount of shadow."

Merit Awards (jurors' comments are excerpted below)

• Sharon Odum Architect, 2x4x8x16 House, Avinger, Tex. "Gray green color is good with warm color of the woods! A minister's retreat with a Japanese feeling, it is asymmetrical and within budget."
• Cunningham Architects, University of Dallas-Haggerty Art Center, Irving, Tex.
• Beck Architecture, Studio I, Dallas. "They really worked out the details with appropriate, simple clarity that respected this old building."
• PGAL/Pierce Goodwin, Alexander and Linville, Inc., AMX Corp. (Formerly Panja World) Headquarters, Richardson, Tex. (exterior shell)
