The Chicago chapter of the American Institute of Architects has announced the winners of its 2020 Design Excellence Awards. Organized in the three categories Distinguished Building, Divine Detail, and Interior Architecture, 39 awards were presented to Chicago-based practices overall during a virtual version of the annual Designight event.
"This year’s entries represented a return to community-first ideas, spurred by the lessons this tumultuous year has quite uncompromisingly taught," noted the award jury. "Environments across both the commercial and civic fields have committed to empathetic, human-centered spaces, with firms prioritizing enduring and intuitive projects that are not only beautiful but conscientious."
Recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award this year is Phillip Craig Johnson, FAIA of Johnson & Lee, Ltd.
