Why the AIA is NOT Awarding Anyone the Twenty-Five Year Award in 2018
We are starting the new year with an announcement from the American Institute of Architects that there will be no winner for their Twenty-five Year Award in 2018. This will be the first time this has occurred since the award was officially established in 1971. The AIA award recognises buildings that have ?stood the test of time for 25-35 years and continues to set the standards of excellence for its architectural design and significance.?
