Awards Simplify Entry Process |
|||||||||||
BusinessWeek and Architectural Record (both publications of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.) and the AIA invite entries to the 2004 BusinessWeek/ Architectural Record (BW/AR) Awards. Now in its eighth year, the BW/AR Awards honor client and architect teams that best use good design to achieve important objectives for organizations. As BusinessWeek editor Bruce Nussbaum noted, “Far more than a beauty contest, this competition judges architecture on how well it solves business problems.” Any project that utilizes design to help an organization achieve its goals and was completed after January 1, 2000, is eligible to be entered. Past recipients include libraries, bridges, schools, a hospital, a manufacturing plant, as well as corporate facilities, and retail operations. There’s still time to submit a project that represents the achievement of organizational goals through extraordinary architect/client collaboration. The deadline for entry is March 19; the submission deadline is April 16. In addition, significant changes made to the 2004 submission materials simplify the entry process. Changes in process This year, the program offers four sample submissions of varying project types to help entrants prepare their entries. Each sample submission replicates an entry binder submitted by a 2002 or 2003 BW/AR Awards recipient. They include the original presentation format, written text, graphics, and photographs. The samples available this year are a corporate headquarters, health-care clinic, museum, and production facility. BW/AR
