This week, AIA Houston held the 2020 Virtual Awards Gala. The event celebrated the work of Architecture Center Houston, AIA Houston members, and awarded some of the best architectural work by local architects. The Design Awards program recognizes design excellence in architecture, residential architecture, interior architecture, restoration/renovation, and urban design. Criteria to be used by the jury include quality of design, resolution of the program idea, sustainable responsibility, innovation, thoughtfulness, and technique. This year’s jurors were Annie Chu, FAIA, IIDA; Ned Cramer, Assoc. AIA; and Elaine Molinar, AIA.
