The jury has spoken: The American Institute of Architects has named the 2011 recipients of the Institute Honor Awards in architecture, interior architecture, and urban design. The 27 winners (chosen out of a pool of 700) designed skyscrapers, performing arts centers, and a border control facility; remediated brownfields; and created a database of 550 Chicago buildings for a decarbonization plan; among other projects ranging in scale, program, and location.
In Brooklyn, dlandstudio won props for its Gowanus Canal Sponge Park, which would help remediate contaminated water and create more open public space. On a much larger scale, Bernard Schumi Architects and Michael Photiadis made an impression with the three-layered New Acropolis Museum in Athens – “not a light building,” said the jury.
