Description
The Design Awards Committee invites your participation in the 2019 AIA Wisconsin Design Awards program. The Awards Presentation and a display of the winning projects will be featured at the 2019 AIA Wisconsin Conference on Architecture on May 8&9 at the Monona Terrace Community & Convention Center.
Awards
Awards may be presented in two categories. Honor Awards recognize overall design excellence. Merit Awards recognize excellence in a particular aspect of project design, such as detailing, sustainability or adaptive use. The jury is comprised of distinguished architects from outside of Wisconsin. There are no entry categories and no detailed criteria beyond those in this announcement. The projects are not judged in competition with each other, but rather by measuring the architect’s performance against each project’s potential. Thus, projects of ordinary program or modest budget can receive an award based on the architect’s skill in optimizing the design opportunity.
The Architect, Owner and Contractor of each winning entry will receive a certificate of the award. Winning architects will be required to prepare a project presentation board for a banner display at the 2019 AIA Wisconsin Conference on Architecture and throughout the state during the year. Representatives from the award-winning firm must be present at the awards celebration to receive the award. In addition, the winning design architect may be asked to discuss the project at the awards celebration.
Eligibility and Authorship
Projects must have been designed by AIA Architect members of AIA Wisconsin, with construction completed by January 1, 2019. The design architect, who is the person primarily responsible for the authorship of the project’s design, must be an AIA Wisconsin member. All design team members and other consultants substantially contributing to the design of the project must be given credit as part of the submission. Projects previously submitted and not receiving an Honor Award or Merit Award are eligible. For projects in which more than one architecture firm contributes to the design, all the architecture firms must be given appropriate credit as part of the submission.
