The American Institute of Architects (AIA) Board of Directors voted today for Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects to receive the 2013 AIA Architecture Firm Award. The firm will be honored at the 2013 AIA National Convention in Denver. Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects is noted for exquisite care for detail with subtle, reverent architecture that’s both timeless in its abstracted, meditative forms and materially specific to context and place.
The AIA Architecture Firm Award, given annually, is the highest honor the AIA bestows on an architecture firm and recognizes a practice that consistently has produced distinguished architecture for at least 10 years.
The Board of Directors of The American Institute of Architects (AIA) voted today to award the 2013 AIA Gold Medal to Thom Mayne, FAIA, who ascended to prominence and esteem through his ambitious government and institutional projects.
The AIA Gold Medal, voted on annually, is considered to be the profession’s highest honor that an individual can receive. The Gold Medal honors an individual whose significant body of work has had a lasting influence on the theory and practice of architecture. Mayne will be honored at a special event in March in Washington, D.C. as well as at the 2013 AIA National Convention in Denver.
