The American Institute of Architects Northwest and Pacific
Region (AIA NW&P Region) has announced that Thomas L. Bosworth,
FAIA is the recipient of the AIA Northwest and Pacific Region 2012
Medal of Honor. The Medal of Honor is the highest honor presented
by the AIA NW&P Region.
Thomas L. Bosworth is a Professor Emeritus with the Department of
Architecture at the University of Washington and a partner at
Bosworth Hoedemaker, a Seattle firm that specializes in the custom
design and renovation of high-end residences primarily in the
Pacific Northwest.
Over the past four decades, Thomas L. Bosworth has helped shape
architecture - both as a profession and an art form - and
architects in the Northwest. His contribution to the field and
practice of architecture is experienced through his two parallel,
though not mutually exclusive, professions: architect and
professor.
The Medal of Honor was established to select and recognize an
individual member of the AIA Northwest and Pacific Region who has
consistently demonstrated excellence in design, the practice of
architecture, architectural education, or service to the
profession, which has promoted public understanding of architects
and architecture, and who has made notable contributions unique to
the AIA NW&P Region. The AIA NW&P Region consists of
Alaska, Guam/Micronesia, Hawaii, Hong Kong, Idaho, Japan, Montana,
Oregon, and Washington.
The Medal of Honor and certificate will be formally presented to
Bosworth at the AIA NW&P Regional Conference in Tucson,
Arizona, October 10-13th, 2012.
