This November marks the 59th annual Honor Awards hosted by The American Institute of Architects (AIA) Seattle chapter, honoring architects for their creative solutions and resourceful projects. Unlike traditional awards programs, the Honor Awards present a critical dialogue on architecture — what it means, what it could be and why we care. The program is unique, brings together hundreds of design professionals and according to one former juror, the AIA Seattle Honor Awards program is “the best state or local design awards I have juried. They should all be done this way.” Jurors for this year's awards include Nigel Dancey, RIBA Foster + Partners, London, Mark Rios, FAIA, FASLA, Rios Clementi Hale, Los Angeles, and Teddy Cruz, eStudio Cruz, San Diego. The event will be moderated by Elizabeth K. Meyer, FASLA, University of Virginia. Co-Chairs for the 2009 AIA Seattle Honor Awards are Don Miles FAIA of ZGF Architects and Shannon Nichol of Gustafson Guthrie Nichol. Photos and biographies of the jurors, as well as information about the event’s sponsors and special contributors, can be found online at www.aiaseattle.org.
