DESIGN AWARDS COMMITTEE

This year’s jury will meet in Cincinnati, Ohio on September 11. Michael McInturf, AIA is principal of michael mcinturf ARCHITECTS, established in 1995. He works individually, and collaboratively, on a range of projects in various stages of design and construction. Concurrently, he is a full-time Associate Professor of Architecture in the School of Architecture and Interior Design at the University of Cincinnati. The oscillation between his research-based office and the design studio prompted his selection as the 2000 DAAP Annual Award recipient for Outstanding Research and Creative Work. The critical and influential nature of his expanding practice and his increasing impact within the curriculum were cited as the principal reason for his selection.
