2008 AIA Nevada Excellence in Design Awards

AIA Nevada has applauded the exceptional design accomplishments of some of State’s top architects through the Nevada Design Awards Program.  The annual statewide program recognizes achievement of the highest standards of design excellence and quality in several categories.

Projects ranged from private residences to public buildings and businesses. Several projects grappled with the task of adding to an existing building or buildings, reflecting nationwide trends to redensify a city as an alternative to sprawl and to define a sense of place in urban centers. All awards will be presented in November at the AIA Nevada Design Awards Banquet in Squaw Creek.

In 2008, 59 project submittals were accepted for judging by three jurors: Edward M. Jones, AIA of Jones Studio, Inc. in Phoenix, Wendy Pautz, AIA of LMN Architects in Seattle and Thomas Bitnar, AIA of Bitnar Architects in Bozeman, Montana.

The jurors awarded 6 honor awards in the categories of Architecture, Interior Architecture, Regional & Urban Design and Collaborative Achievement.
