In a virtual ceremony held Dec. 4, seven Honor Awards and three Framework for Design Excellence Commendations were announced by the American Institute of Architects Minnesota.
The annual awards program dates to 1954 and recognizes outstanding built projects by AIA Minnesota members, or firms that are owned by AIA Minnesota members, that practice professionally in Minnesota.
The commendations, new in 2020, recognize submissions that excel in one of 10 categories: integration, equitable communities, ecosystems, water, economy, energy, well-being, resources, change and discovery.
