2004 Annual Design Awards Competition
Madison (April 28, 2004) — Eight building projects have been recognized for excellence in architectural design by the 2004 Design
Awards program of AIA Wisconsin, the state society of The American Institute of
Architects (AIA).
From a private residence in the Swiss Alps to a high-tech university teaching
and research facility, this year’s award-winning architecture features a
spectrum of inspiring and innovative design solutions for a diverse range of buildings.
The common thread is that the projects were designed by architects who are members
of AIA Wisconsin.
A jury of nationally distinguished architects from outside of Wisconsin selected
the award-winning projects. Members of the 2004 Design Awards jury were James
Dayton, AIA, Minneapolis; Margaret Helfand, FAIA, New York; and James von Klemperer,
AIA, New York. |
