The American Institute of Architects has long been an organization that is committed to promoting design excellence. Recognizing the need for honoring achievements through a high form of expression, a solution was designed that aligns with the organization and the design professionals it represents. The solution is a low-tech approach to trophy hardware that provides an unpretentious yet refined piece from one material and one detail.

Jury Comments: Clean, simple, smart. Incredibly simple move with a material that speaks to our role of architects in the built environment.
