Project Criteria:
Entries must be completed architectural projects submitted by Birmingham AIA member Architects who were licensed and practicing in Alabama at the time of the project completion. Projects may have been executed anywhere in the U.S. or abroad and must have been completed after January 2007.The chapter encourages the entry of previous submitted projects which have not been awarded with a past Birmingham AIA Design Award.
Award Categories:
- Residential
- Commercial
- Institutional
- Renovation/ Adaptive-Reuse
- Projects Under $300,000
- Un-built Award* (new 2012)
*The Un-built award has been added this year to showcase Birmingham AIA member Architect’s unrealized projects. We know everyone has incredible work never seen by the public either shelved due to the economy, a change in scope or budget, or a change of heart.
No matter the reason, this exciting new category will be a great addition to design awards!
Un-Built Criteria & Eligibility:
Projects that are eligible for this category must have been designed by a licensed Architect and must have been commissioned for compensation by a client and cannot be currently under construction, or slated for construction within a year of the submission. All projects must have been designed within the past six calendar years and may be located anywhere in the world.
Any project type that falls within the standard design award categories is eligible.
Project boards and digital formats must follow the same guidelines as built work but may exclude plans and site-plans, though they are encouraged for clarity.
Project designs that were not utilized for existing built projects, or projects under construction are eligible if those designs reflect a complete change of scope and concept, and were realized to the design development phase.
Awards:
- Category Awards (awards for each category)
- Merit Award (Jury’s commendation for exceptional design)
- Honor Award (Jury’s highest level of commendation for exceptional design)
