The AIA's Institute Honors for Collaborative Achievement
are biennial awards that recognize and encourage distinguished achievements
of allied professionals, clients, organizations, architect teams, professional
interest areas (PIAs), and others who have had a beneficial influence
on or advanced the architecture profession. The award will be presented
in 2003, and it is time to consider who among your colleagues is worthy
of such recognition. Past winners have included photographers, writers,
editors, philanthropists, engineers and other allied professionals, organizations,
books, buildings, and public programs (see the list below).
Looking
at the big picture, who and what are important to your practice and profession?
Now is the time to honor them. The procedure is relatively simple, and
the rewards are immense. The winners will be publicly recognized at the
annual Accent on Architecture Awards gala in Washington, D.C., and receive
their awards at the AIA national convention in San Diego in May 2003.

nomination?

Collaborative achievement: advancement of architecture and urban
