The Society announces the recipients of the 2012 Awards for Excellence presented by IMAGINiT Technologies. From a pool of 150 entries, 19 projects were recognized with awards.
The awards are a celebration of the very best work from designers working from Virginia. Held annually, the Awards for Excellence (also known as the Design Awards) recognize projects no older than seven years that contribute to the built environment as clear examples of thoughtful and engaging design. This year, two new categories were added—Contextual Design and Residential Design—bringing the number of awards categories to five (the other three being Architecture, Historic Preservation, and Interior Design).
The program juries were chaired by Ronald J. Battaglia, FAIA in the Historic Preservation category; Joseph Bilello, Ph.D., FAIA, in the Architecture category; Mary A. Burke, FAIA, IIDA, in the Interior Design category; Casius Pealer, Esq., Assoc. AIA, in the Residential Design category; and Graham S. Wyatt, AIA, in the Contextual Design category.
Recipients of the Awards for Excellence presented by IMAGINiT Technologies will be honored during Architecture Exchange East, at the Visions for Architecture gala on Nov. 9, 2012, at the Hotel John Marshall; in Design 2012, a special exhibition at the Virginia Center for Architecture opening on Oct. 25, 2012; and in Inform magazine. Winning projects will be profiled on readinform.com in the coming days.
