2006 AIA NC Design and Chapter Awards and Honors
2006 AIA NC Design and Chapter Awards and Honors were presented at the Design Awards Banquet on July 15, 2006, at the North Carolina School of the Arts (Watson Hall) in Winston-Salem. Honors included: "MEDAC 3" by Michael Ross Kersting Architecture, PA.
Jury Comments: This scheme breaks up the traditional box with interesting detailing of the façade. There appears to be a great deal of sensitivity not only to the users of the building, but also to the placement of the building on the site. Organic references read through by the use of the copper and masonry material selections, as well as the “tree trunk references” both in the articulation of the vertical glass elements and the entrance canopy columns.
The North Carolina Chapter of the American Institute of Architects is the recognized advocate for the architectural profession in this state. With a membership of 2,200, AIA North Carolina includes nearly 80 percent of the state's resident architects.
