UNITAS STADIUM FIELD HOUSE “In a stadium design, it is difficult to bring together formal aesthetics and the utilitarian housing of many people. Here, with no attempt to hide the foundations, the structure is clearly delineated as the brick stretches itself. The design allows the formal symmetrical stadium view lines, while carrying asymmetrical playfulness into the third dimension. Transparency allows all activities to be viewed at night from outside, creating reverse participation. Such good strategy makes the stadium a space on the campus. |

CASEY FAMILY SERVICES “This adaptive reuse brings light and brightness to a gritty industrial area. It is not afraid of putting welcoming windows on the street, allows the existing building to breathe, and takes good advantage of the loft space. One can enjoy the experience of the original volume. The new entrance leads to a dynamic two-story space punctuated with a mezzanine bridge which creates good circulation. Interesting materials are used in the reception area.” |
 |
|
MIDDLE SCHOOL #255 LIBRARY UNBUILT “This idea is very strong – creating a continuous piece of furniture to move into a space and define it. These components can be inserted into bland spaces to create excitement and to articulate a universal open space. This speaks to the potential of an idea.” |
 |
|
OLIVER CENTER “This adaptive reuse creates an elegant backdrop so the activities are center stage. The simple and minimal materiality carries through the design. Careful use of wood, glass, and aluminum create color and an extremely well-handled palette. We applaud the client and architects for using this Spartan interior so successfully for this typology.” |

WAYSTEAD UNBUILT “This interesting project takes an existing modest and traditional cottage and makes it grow, creating a continuum. The original building co-exists well. This is not a case of the tail wagging the dog. The design walks a fine line between dynamic composition and traditional detailing. The folded roof implies a walled structure, but inside is a free plan – intriguing and very dreamy.” |

HONORABLE MENTION AWARDS |
|
|
ANNIE E. CASEY FOUNDATION HEADQUARTERS “This adaptive reuse respects and takes good advantage of the existing large space and allows the shell to breathe. This is a full program with a high percentage of efficient and multi-level floorplates with elegantly-handled transitioning and accessibility. The design emphasizes a few key views, shows restraint and consistency in detailing.” |
 |
|
INTEGRATED NATURAL SCIENCES CENTER “This is a successful attempt to create a collegiate image in the traditional sense. The large science program makes the technical aspects of the roofline and envelope difficult. This building begins to create a college quad space and reconciles the grid plan of the campus with the skewed access of the existing building. The massing is very successful.” |
 |
|
THE KRIEGER BUILDING “This is a surprisingly good addition to a benign and average structure. The play between the two sets up an interesting tension of styles. The interlocking nature of the two is appealing. The original suburban-type building is no longer isolated in a parking lot setting. With the new addition, it now presents a much more urbane presence.” |
 |
|
THE TATE CANCER CENTER “We are particularly enamored with the wonderful abstract nature of the early design studies. This difficult healthcare program appropriately drove the design decisions. Bringing so much light into the building is an attempt to make this building more than a wrapper around technology. For a place where most patients don’t want to go, especially in the dark, this is an inviting building.” |

ARTSCAPE M&T BANK MODEL HOME PAVILION “This project is totally intriguing – we want to see more! This interesting use of a normative, everyday material like Tyvek, intended to reduce air infiltration, to create a translucent and glowing scrim or veil is poetic. The sequence of space with a porch looking back over the festival harkens to the real intention of a porch – enjoyment.” |
