The American Institute of Architects (AIA) has selected, Ginnie Cooper, Chief Librarian and Executive Director of the District of Columbia Public Libraries and Michael Pyatok, FAIA, an architect who has dedicated his career to the theory and practice of public housing design, to receive the 2013 Thomas Jefferson Award for Public Architecture. This year’s award recipients will be honored and receive their awards at the 2013 AIA National Convention and Design Exposition in Denver.

The Thomas Jefferson Award recognizes excellence in architectural advocacy and achievement in three categories: Private-sector architects who have established a portfolio of accomplishment in the design of architecturally distinguished public facilities (category 1); public-sector architects who manage or produce quality design within their agencies (category 2); and public officials or other individuals who by their role of advocacy have furthered the public’s awareness and/or appreciation of design excellence (category 3).

The American Institute of Architects (AIA) has selected the recipients of the 2013 Institute Honors for Collaborative Achievement. The award, to be presented at the 2013 AIA National Convention and Design Exposition in Denver, recognizes and encourages distinguished achievements of allied professionals, clients, organizations, architect teams, knowledge communities, and others who have had a beneficial influence on or advanced the architectural profession.

The recipients are DiscoverDesign.org, Chicago Architecture Foundation, Palm Springs Modern Committee (PS ModCom) and the DC Preservation League.[1][1]
