Summary: The AIA Northern Virginia Chapter announced on July 12 that a distinguished jury had chosen 21 projects as winners of the chapter’s 2007 Design Awards. This annual design competition, now in its 32nd year, recognizes the design excellence in seven categories achieved by the chapter’s members. Although the architects are from Virginia, the structures can be located anywhere in the world. This year’s entries primarily are based in the nation’s capital area—Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C., itself—but also as far away as Shanghai, China.
