DESIGN AWARDS JURY CHAIR

Wendell Burnette, FAIA | Wendell Burnette Architects

Wendell Burnette is a self-taught architect with an internationally recognized body of work. Based in Phoenix for over twenty-five years, his eponymous studio Wendell Burnette Architects is concerned with space, light, context, and community. He is a native of Nashville who discovered the southwest desert as an apprentice at Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin West. His eleven-year association with the studio of Will Bruder culminated in six-year design collaboration on the Phoenix Central Library. He was a Professor of Practice at Arizona State University for 15+ years and continues to teach and lecture widely in the United States and abroad. His projects include residences located locally and nationally, the Palo Verde Library / Maryvale Community Center and the much-acclaimed Amangiri Resort in southern Utah, as well as current work in the Southwest and multiple locations worldwide. In 2009, Burnette received the Academy Award in Architecture from the American Academy of Arts and Letters in New York City recognizing an American Architect whose work is characterized by a strong personal direction, which was accompanied by an exhibition at the Academy in the same year. In 2016, his first full-length monograph Dialogues in Space by Oscar Riera Ojeda Publishers was released worldwide. His design philosophy is grounded in listening and distilling the essence of a project to create highly specific architecture that is at once functional and poetic.

DESIGN AWARDS JURY

Jack DeBartolo 3, FAIA | debartolo architects

Jack DeBartolo 3 FAIA received his initial training in architecture at the University of Arizona (1992), followed by graduate school at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1994).  After two years working with Will Bruder, DeBartolo joined his father to form the studio of debartolo architects in 1996. Licensed in 1999, DeBartolo was awarded the AIA AZ Architects Medal in 2013 and received his Fellowship in 2016.

Featured in Architecture Magazine, nearly twenty years ago, as one of seven young architects to watch and Dwell Magazine after completion of the Mariposa Residence, DeBartolo’s work continues to be recognized in the national and international critical press. Featured in Phaidon’s Architectural Atlas, the work of the studio reveals a passion in architecture that stems from a deeply rooted desire to bring significance and order into the daily human experience, through innovation in materials, creative shaping of space and powerful use of light.

Today DeBartolo teaches a professional practice course to graduate students in Architecture at the ASU Design School. For over twenty-five years the studio has consistently served a diverse range of clients, earning numerous AIA design awards and selected as the 2012 AIA AZ Firm of the Year.

Mark Ryan, FAIA | TreanorHL

Mark believes in the experiential power of architecture. He believes that through thoughtful planning and design, architecture can play a significant role in the process of wellness and helping to shape positive outcomes. Known for strategic thinking and creative problem solving, his portfolio contains a diverse set of award-winning projects that help re-imagine how we work, how we learn, how we play, and how we engage our communities. His work is characterized by projects that are simultaneously civic in nature and personal in their potential impact, and acknowledged for their specific, comprehensive solutions to challenging conditions. This approach is no more evident that his work accomplished on an array of projects for troubled kids – our most vulnerable population.

In addition to the practice of architecture, Mark is also passionate about education. Since 2004 he has been an Adjunct Professor at Arizona State University - and the University of Arizona from 20112014 - teaching both graduate and undergraduate design studios and seminars.

Mark was the recipient of the AIA AZ Architects Medal in 2019 and AIA Fellowship in 2022.

Mark received his initial training in architecture at the University of Cincinnati, while also lettering in intercollegiate athletics, followed by graduate school at the Architectural Association in London as a Foundation Scholar. After working in various parts of the USA and Europe, including 14 years in private practice in Phoenix, Mark joined TreanorHL in 2019 as a Principal.

PHOTOGRAPHY JURY CHAIR

Dale Omori | Omori Media
