The crop of the 2007 Institute Honor Awards for Interior Architecture features a remarkable variety of project types.

Seven Projects Receive 2007 Honor Awards for Regional & Urban Design
The recipients of the 2007 Institute Honor Awards for Regional & Urban Design “showed concern for repairing mistakes of the past, improving the quality of the urban environment, and creating sustainable places,” praised the jury. “A lot of the submissions defined and articulated important issues, but what set these award-winning projects apart were innovative, clear, and insightful solutions to those problems.” Of the seven selected projects, four are on the densely packed East Coast. The remaining three are in Dallas, Milwaukee, and Napa, Calif.
