Award-Recipients in the BSA’s 2008 Unbuilt Architecture Design Awards Program
The jurors in the Boston Society of Architects (BSA) Unbuilt Architecture Design Awards Program have completed their work and have selected the following submissions for recognition this year.
Merit Awards:
«L’Isola Filtrata, Sacca San Mattia, Murano-Venice» (The VanishingIsland…) designed by Atelier Mankouche, Ann Arbor, Michigan (Steven Mankouche AIA, Zaina
Abuseir, Beth Wilson, and Brittany Guercio)
«Monticello: Place-Based Planning in the Five Urbanisms of Every American Town» designed by the University of Arkansas Community Design Center, Fayetteville, Arkansas (Steve Luoni, Assoc. AIA, Aaron Gabriel, Assoc. AIA, Jeffrey Huber, Assoc. AIA, James Meyer, John McWilliams, Matthew Griffith, Laura Chioldi, Alan Noa-Navarro and Peter Bednar)

«Evening Land Winery, Santa Barbara County, California» designed by David Yum Architects, New York City (David Yum AIA)
These four projects will be the focus of a special forum at Build Boston, the annual design convention in Boston, which this year is November 18-20. This forum will begin with the presentation of the awards and an informal discussion led by the jurors will focus on the award-winning projects and will also explore intriguing issues raised by other entries including those submitted by designers at Machado and Silvetti Associates in Boston and Ino Architects in Norcross, Georgia, by Moskow Linn Architects in Boston, and by JunSang Yon in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
All submissions (of which there were over 60 this year) will be exhibited during this forum.
For registration and other details on this forum, which begins at 6: 00 pm on November 18, visit www.buildboston.com
The four award-winning projects will also be included in a special gallery exhibit during Build Boston and the same exhibit will be in The Architects Building in Boston in 2009 and will be included in the January/February 2009 design awards issue of the BSA’s bimonthly magazine, ArchitectureBoston (click on event #A84) after August 21.
