The Dallas chapter of the American Institute of Architects recently announced the winners of the Built, Unbuilt, and Student Design Awards—and added the new award category “Divine Detail”—at the Architecture and Design Exchange in downtown Dallas.
The AIA Dallas Design Awards honor the architects, clients, and consultants who work together to achieve design excellence, both in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and around the globe, and to elevate the value of architectural practice in the local community, the institute said.
“It’s always inspiring to see the breadth and depth of work produced by Dallas Architects,” Matthew Crummey, AIA, associate principal at Perkins & Will and 2024 chair of the AIA Dallas Design Awards committee, said in a statement. “Their influence is found at many different scales and extends far beyond North Texas. The committee was thrilled to see winning projects as diverse as a small public toilet in Dallas and a large hospital in Nairobi. We were especially happy with the winners of the new ‘Divine Detail’ award which celebrates excellence in craft.”
At the Design Awards celebration, Kate Aoki, AIA, introduced the panel of jurors, who then briefly shared their work as well as their thoughts on the projects entered into the Design Awards competition—and announced the 17 winning projects:
