This year, a jury of six AIA architects, one AIA associate architect, one architecture client, and one architecture student combed through submissions of projects built between 1983 and 1993. According to the AIA award submission details, the entries were judged on their "excellence in function, both in original form and by today's standards." However, the jury failed to find a worthy recipient this year, the first time in the award's history. According to a statement made to AD PRO, "The jury felt that there were submissions that appeal to architects and there were those that appeal to the public. The consensus was that the Twenty-five Year Award should appeal to both. Unfortunately, this year the jury did not find a submission that it felt achieved 25 years of exceptional aesthetic and cultural relevance while also representing the timelessness and positive impact the profession aspires to achieve." Better luck next year to our friends in architecture.
