At the 2023 edition of the AIA Conference on Architecture, kicking off today in San Francisco, the St. Louis chapter of the American Institute of Architects announced the winners of the AIA National Photography Competition, which is open to all registered architects in the United States, AIA associates, and students enrolled at accredited architecture schools. The jury for the 2023 judging panel included Julie Snow, design principal and CEO of Minneapolis-based Snow Kreilich Architects; RECORD publisher Alex Bachrach, and Professor Ila N. Sheren, assistant professor in the department of Art History and Archeology at Washington University in St. Louis. Cash prizes were awarded to the first, second, and third place winners as well as the recipient of the Al Fuller Prize, which recognizes photographic excellence in capturing a subject based in the U.S. This year, a new award category was introduced that exclusively honors student submissions.
Selected from over 1,000 submissions, this year’s first place prize went to Shardul Patil, a student at the Georgia Institute of Technology, for his photograph capturing a young boy mid-belly flop into a pool of water in Mumbai. New York City-based David Rolland received second prize for his shot of a waterfront pumping station in Chandigarh, India, and Michael Wilkes of La Jolla, California, came in third place for a photograph featuring the juxtaposing textures of a wooden house adjacent to a gnarled tree. The Fuller Award was awarded to Glenn Goldman of Tenafly, New Jersey, for an upwards-looking portrait of the Statue of Liberty, and the Student Award went to Justin Kaczender of the University of Southern California for capturing a hummingbird perched on a skyscraper’s balcony.
