MADISON (April 28, 2010) . . . Ten building projects have been recognized for excellence in architectural design by the 2010 Design Awards program of AIA Wisconsin, the state society of The American Institute of Architects (AIA).

This year’s diverse mix of award-winning architecture includes a credit union office on a challenging urban site, a corporate headquarters campus in a prairie setting, an experimental dwelling with a small footprint, a luxury apartment building on property reclaimed from a former freeway, a health center designed to reinvent the patient experience, a small sustainable home on a narrow infill site, a quiet staff canteen that highlights history, an office building transformed for a nonprofit foundation, a large urban development designed for multiple uses, and a beautifully restored historic municipal landmark. These projects are honored for their creative, contemporary, innovative and environmentally sensitive design solutions. The common thread among all ten projects is that they were designed by architect members of AIA Wisconsin.

A jury of nationally distinguished architects from outside Wisconsin selected the award-winning projects. Members of the 2010 Design Awards jury were Marlon Blackwell, AIA, Fayetteville; Angela Ward Hyatt, AIA Boston; and Jerry Johnson, AIA, Chicago.

“The projects recognized for design excellence are reflective of the broad range of different building types and scales that were submitted this year by Wisconsin architects,” according to this year’s awards jury. “From very small spaces to very large projects, the architects displayed great skill and restraint.”

The projects and architects selected to receive Honor Awards for overall design excellence include:

Educators Credit Union, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
