2021 Design Awards – Our Winners!

Posts

Thank you to all who attended our 2021 Design Awards Gala! We really enjoyed getting members from our section together to celebrate the incredible work that has been done over the last two years. Congratulations are in order for all! We especially want to thank you, our members, for bearing with us as we’ve navigated through the many challenges of 2020 and 2021. We couldn’t have made this a successful event without you!

Special thanks also go out to our jury: Erin Sterling Lewis, our jury chair, put together an impressive and diverse group of architects to deliberate our awards this year. Though Erin was unable to attend, Jim Williams effortlessly took over the job of presenting the jury’s deliberations at the event. We thank Erin, Jim, and the rest of our jury for their time and effort!

We’d also like to give a shout-out to our 2021 sponsors, who support our section and allow us to bring you events like these (and so much more!)

 

And now, without further ado, our 2021 Design Awards Winners!
