AIA South Atlantic Region Recognizes 19 Projects for Design Excellence

The American Institute of Architects, South Atlantic Region (AIASAR) is pleased to announce the winners of the 2016 South Atlantic Region Design Awards. Over 150 people celebrated the work of firms from Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina on Saturday evening, October 1, 2016 at the SCAD Museum of Art in downtown Savannah, GA.

A total of 19 awards were presented to regional architecture firms in five categories: Adaptive Reuse/Preservation, Housing, Interior Architecture, Unrealized and New Construction/Substantial Renovation. Also presented were two Student Design Awards in recognition of excellent work by students enrolled in an architecture, interior design or urban design program in the South Atlantic region. In addition, the AIA SAR Council bestowed the 2016 Roger Milliken Legacy Award upon Paula Wallace, Hon. AIA, Founder and President of the Savannah College of Art and Design. Wallace was honored for “her passion and leadership, through which Savannah now stands as a great model of how design advocacy, community engagement and civic responsibility can lead to economic and cultural transformation of our Nation’s cities – and a better life for their residents.”

The design awards were presented by Steve Dumez, FAIA, Principal and Director of Design, Eskew+Dumez+Ripple in New Orleans, LA, who served as the 2016 SAR Design Awards Jury Chair.
