The Boston Society of Architects celebrated another set of top-notch projects in their Design Award program.

The 2015 winners were recently honored at the yearly BSA Design Award Gala.
Award categories include Interior Architecture/Interior Design; Campus and Urban Planning; and Unbuilt Architecture and Design. Additional awards that were given were the Honor Awards for Design Excellence, the Harleston Parker Medal, the second annual Earl R.
