NOTE FROM OUR CO-CHAIRS On behalf of the Honor Awards Committee, we hope you are staying well, taking care, and taking action. In the midst of a public health cris and critical reckonings with systemic racism, we are wary to suggest in any simple terms that design solves problems. And yet, we believe in AIA Seattle’s vision of a culture of design that fosters equitable, resilient, and thriving communities. It has been a challenging year for a lot of us, and while there have been new obstacles to overcome, the field of architecture continues to move ahead, continuing to address inclusion, climate requirements, and making our world a beautiful place. The practice of architecture in our region enjoys a well-established legacy of curiosity, creativity, and a drive for design excellence. We share an exhaustive pursuit of ideas that are both human and humane, that create beauty and promote equity, that dissolve barriers to unify our communities. The Honor Awards is the platform to recognize the full body – and the very best – of our collective design work. We are here to celebrate, not only the end-product of design, but also the influences and stories behind it. To frame the evaluation goals from our region, AIA Seattle has carefully crafted a set of considerations that we believe define a foundation for design excellence and address important issues in our community. The jury then weighs these considerations with their own personal and collective criteria, informing their deliberation and their decision-making process. We had over 100 submissions this year, categorized into three groups: Built, Conceptual, and in its third year, Research and Innovation. The jury evaluated submissions and their award selections were assigned to the following award categories: Award of Honor, Award of Merit, Honorable Mention, and in its fifth year, the Energy in Design Award. Additionally, this year’s young voices gathered to deliberate and make their Young Voices Selection.

As we strengthen our collective commitment to building performance within the context of a changing climate, resource scarcity, and sustainable communities, AIA Seattle is pleased to once again commend the qualified built projects that have made significant strides in energy reduction while also maintaining the highest level of design excellence. To bring you this Honor Awards program, a dedicated committee of volunteers have invested countless hours during the past year setting up our newly christened virtual program to ensure its success. Thank you, committee! We’d also like to recognize the efforts of the staff at our AIA chapter. We are truly fortunate to have such a talented and dedicated team. We would like to offer a special “thank you” to Cassie Blair and Zoe Guckenheimer for helping guide the Honor Awards Committee. Most importantly, we’d like to thank our amazingly talented jury, Marsha, Pascale, and Tatiana for generously donating their valuable time. Their contributions reflect the passion that our community has for design excellence. We are grateful to have had them with their diverse backgrounds and experiences represented on the jury. The depth of review, the inspiring discourse, and the careful consideration they gave to every project was extraordinary. Finally, we want to thank you, the greater Seattle Design Community. Your creativity, transformative innovation, and remarkable attention to craft have a global impact. We are all here to celebrate you!

- Kevin Snook + Ming Yuan 2020 Honor Awards Committee Co-Chairs

SUBMISSION CATEGORIES Each year, the AIA Seattle Honor Awards program seeks submissions in the categories of BUILT, CONCEPTUAL, and RESEARCH & INNOVATION, three categories that encompass and celebrate the forefront of Washington architectural design. While BUILT projects are elible for all awards, CONCEPTUAL and RESEARCH & INNOVATION projects are only eligible for the Award of Merit and Honorable Mention.

BUILT

CONCEPTUAL

Recognizes a diversity of built project scales, from smaller human-scaled work (i.e. installations) to traditional building-scaled work (i.e. residential or institutional projects) to larger civic-scaled plans (i.e. TOD developments)

Recognizes the unbuilt projects that inspire us, further our understanding of design, and encourage our creative exploration of the built environment

RESEARCH & INNOVATION Recognizes projects, componenets, or processes that make forward-thinking advancements in the profession through innovative and well-researched design solutions.

AWARD CATEGORIES The AIA Seattle Honor Awards recognizes four levels of achievement: AWARD OF HONOR Represents the highest level of achievement AWARD OF MERIT Represents exceptional achievement HONORABLE MENTION Represents distinguished achievement ENERGY IN DESIGN AWARD Represents a balance of design achievement and exemplary energy performance

+ YOUNG VOICES SELECTION Initiated in 2018, the Young Voices Selection (YVS) program aims to elevate and engage the voices of young designers through direct participation and representation in AIA Seattle’s Honor Awards for Washington Architecture. Three young designers, nominated by firm leaders within AIA Seattle’s Firm Network and selected by the Honor Awards Committee, are given the opportunity to review, deliberate, and select ONE Built project submission. This chosen project, the “Young Voices Selection,” is then recognized at the (virtual) live event. This year’s young voices were… Higinio Turrubiates, Assoc. AIA | Integrus Architecture Marquesa Figueroa, Assoc. AIA | SRG Partnership Molly Evans, Assoc. AIA | Olson Kundig

JURY CONSIDERATIONS Every year, jurors praise submissions that reveal the story behind the marketing images. What concepts and considerations drove the design? What were the challenges and opportunities along the way? How did the design team arrive at the solution? Submitters are encouraged to use the project narrative, captions, and inclusion of process work as opportunities to tell a design story. In addition to the jury’s own criteria, the AIA Seattle community has identified four considerations for the submission review process: INSPIRATION | How does the project manifest its stated intent—in form and function—revealing innovation in both thought and practice? PROBLEM-SOLVING | How does the project creatively address challenges inherent in its site, budget, program, materials, collaboration, and context? What are the organizing principles informing design? ENVIRONMENTAL SENSITIVITY | How does the project exhibit serious intent to minimize negative environmental impact and enhance its relationship to the environment? SOCIAL IMPACT | How does the project enhance the community in which it is situated? How does it help promote a vibrant and equitable community?

+ TEN MEASURES FOR DESIGN EXCELLENCE Additionally, the newly introduced Common App for use in the Energy in Design Award evaluation offered BUILT project submitters Ten Measures for Design Excellence to consider in telling their project story.

MEET THE JURY + CRITERIA Learn more about what attributes each juror brought forward as they weighed AIA Seattle’s considerations with their own personal and collective criteria to inform their deliberation and decision-making process. Marsha Maytum, FAIA, LEED AP | Leddy Maytum Stacy Architects | San Francisco “I think making sure that sensibility is brought to every design that we do as architects, that environmental high performance, really pushing the envelope, really trying to understand how we can tackle carbon in our work, is absolutely important. Side-by-side with how we can make contributions to our community and make them better places for everyone.” Pascale Sablan, AIA, NOMA, LEED AP | S9ARCHITECTURE | Beyond the Built Environment, LLC | New York “Spatial justice, for me spacial justice goes hand in hand with environmental justice but also culurally embedding the individuals of that community with the built environment, having architecture be a representation of lives and aspirations... that was the little Pascale extra that I added to my considerations.” Tatiana Bilbao | Tatiana Bilbao ESTUDIO | Mexico City “My own personal view was to enhance those projects that were really sensible to the conditions of the site, to not necessarily do incredible somersaults to solve something, but mostly solving it in a very simple but elegant and inspirational way.”

This project has been a pleasure to get to know, to be inspired by, to understand the visibility on all levels... making sure that the community feels seen, feels safe, protected and elevated, and for a place for it to be safe to really celebrate. This, to me, is architecture and spatial justice and I applaud the design, the design team, and all the community leaders and members who were participating in the designing and execution of this incredible project. - Pascale Sablan

This project really embeds all the values that architecture should promote, in a very simple, beautiful, orchestrated way. It is a place for social interaction, but also with the possibility of understanding the history, the very core root of this place, while making exactly the space for connection with others, and with nature at large. - Tatiana Bilbao

We think this is an incredible project for maintaining the important, somewhat eccentric, community spaces that are in our cities and finding new places for them to thrive. This is a beautifully executed project, taking simple, durable, cost-effective materials and elevating those materials to a thing of beauty with great creativity and unexpected moments in the design. - Marsha Maytum

I really like how the description of the project is stated, as a building, as a functional armature. The word armature brings me to a space that holds things together and I think this place holds a lot of things together. Not only the connection of the community, but the physical connection between the city, the downtown, and the lake, but most of all, the heritage, cultures, and traditions of boat making in the area which is really integrated in a beautiful way with a simple design. Very powerful. - Tatiana Bilbao

ABOUT THE ENERGY IN DESIGN AWARD The Energy in Design Award began in 2016 to celebrate a commitment to energy reduction goals by awarding projects that demonstrate high-level energy performance, creative and innovative solutions toward energy efficiency, and exceptional design execution. The Energy in Design Award continue to recognize the immense role and responsibility architects have in reducing the negative impacts of the built environment on the natural environment. This year, AIA Seattle beta-tested the new Common App for Design Excellence for use in the Energy in Design Award evaluation. This powerful tool is a natural evolution of the Energy in Design Calculator previously used to quantifiably measure building performance for the AIA Seattle Energy in Design Award. The Common App was created by the AIA National Committee on the Environment (COTE) for design awards as they are the vehicle that our profession uses to recognize excellence. The Common App evaluates COTEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Top Ten Measures including 10 areas of focus of ethical and responsible design. TEN MEASURES FOR DESIGN EXCELLENCE Integration Equitable Communities Ecology Water Economy Energy Wellness, Resources Change Discovery Out of 103 project submissions this year, 17 projects met the 2030 challenge and were considered for the Energy in Design Award.

Special thanks to the University of Washington Integrated Design Lab (IDL) and sponsor BetterBricks for their partnership on the Energy in Design Award. They were instrumental to establishing this award and have supported its continuation since. Thank you to Christopher Meek, Associate Professor and Director, Integrated Design Lab, University of Washington, for leading IDL’s efforts, to Michael Gilbride, Research Associate, Integrated Design Lab, for the data analysis technical heavy lifting, and to the entire IDL team for their support.

“

For myself, because we are at this critical moment in history, I think the environmental and social justice aspects of what we do as architects is absolutely critical. So, I really applaud Seattle for integrating the Common App and to begin to measure what we say we value in our work and share that information across our profession. I think that’s so important. - Marsha Maytum

Architecture is a unique language, and if you don’t know the vernacular, it is very difficult for you to be a part of those conversations, and these brilliant designers really thought about a way of creating an extention of that language that’s visual, and bringing it forth through the process of how the community understands both the history of a site as well as a the future goals for it. - Pascale Sablan

MEET THE YOUNG VOICES Meet this year’s young voices and hear how they came to select the chosen project, Seattle City Light Denny Substation.

Higinio Turrubiates, Assoc. AIA | Integrus Architecture “In our deliberation process substainability was a very important factor and we’re so happy to see this shows up for a lot of projects. This building not only embraces sustainability and is really pushing the boundaries in that regard, but it also allows the user and the public to learn through the building.” Marquesa Figueroa, Assoc. AIA | SRG Partnership “Architecturally it does a great job of breaking up that ground plane and really having the people engage in the building not just through learning about energy and Seattle City Light, but also being more tactile in how you navigate through the space.”

Molly Evans, Assoc. AIA | Olson Kundig “I think as a project this building really pushes the boundaries of what we as architects should think of as our responsibility. This project doesn’t just meet the basic requirements, but goes above and beyond and really serves to try to engage the community and do a lot more than what was initially asked of them.”

BETTERBRICKS Energy efficiency makes sense for building owners, managers and the people who live and work in buildings. But integrating systems into the DNA of a building requires a careful balance of creative thinking and data-driven results. This is where architects and design engineers flourish. The meeting of art and science. And it is at this very spot that new technology and energy savings have the most opportunity to shine. BetterBricks is the partner for Washington architects interested in learning about emerging technologies, the latest integrated energy management strategies, and utility incentives that help get energy-efficient ideas off the â&#x20AC;&#x153;drafting tableâ&#x20AC;? and into practical use. Regardless of the size and scope of a design, energy efficiency is a key ingredient in high performance sustainable buildings. It starts with understanding the needs of each client and making a plan. BetterBricks connects you with trusted experts at local utilities, and can get you started with resources, case studies and tools.

GLY CONSTRUCTION As a General Contractor responsible for coordinating multiple disciplines, vendors, and design partners to meet our clientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; expectations, GLY asks the question: how can we all coalesce around the problems we need to solve? We believe the answer lies in letting go of our traditional silos and pain points and taking a different approach. Our vision is to transform how projects are delivered, create solutions that matter, and build trust that lasts. In our historically risk-averse industry, our fear of failure tends to hold us back from innovation and experimentation. By reaching out to forge new partnerships, we can accelerate the sharing of resources, apply our human intelligence to identify the real problems, and leverage technology as a platform to bridge the gaps between tools, people, and processes. Through collaboration we can react quickly, execute solutions, recognize failures, and rebound, leveraging lessons learned to move forward. The future of design, construction, and building management sits at our doorstep today. GLY strives to better understand the relationship between the built environment, community, and the devices we interact with. We are committed to operating our business and diversifying our work in a manner that promotes economic stability, protects and restores our environment, and creates social value. We are adaptable and pursue possibility.

HOFFMAN CONSTRUCTION Hoffmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Work is a Celebration of Design Whether getting lost in a book at Seattle Central Library or lost in the clouds at the Space Needle, from finding your way at UW Station to finding a new piece of art at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, you can see examples of how architecture enhances the world around us on display in all of Hoffmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work. We have had the honor of partnering with many world-class architecture and engineering firms to build phenomenal structures that help shape the character of Washington State. As a construction company, Hoffman has grown with and adapted to an ever-impressive array of ingenuity and creativity in design. We may be the builders, but we cannot get an inch out of the ground without the true collaboration that blossoms from our shared love of soaring, inspiring architecture and the desire to solve realworld problems with a human approach to design. With each new project comes the opportunity to join together in finding new ways to address resiliency, accessibility, equity, climate change, security, and occupant health. Great architecture is both an exhibition and a celebration of human achievement, the creation of beautiful yet functional spaces that are tailored to the needs and desires of those who will inhabit them.

PCS STRUCTURAL SOLUTIONS At the heart of our structural design, PCS holds the highest respect for architectural vision. We understand that each structure is as unique as the family or community who animates it. The partnership between architect and engineer is inherently a creative process, and we believe that high-level collaboration yields truly exciting design. Discovering the owner’s needs, embracing the architectural vision and investing the whole of our engineering expertise is an exciting part of our design process. PCS engineers see structural design as part of the artistry, building relationships and crafting the details that help define the design aesthetic. As we lay out joists or walls, we understand that no matter how small the details, our solutions can make our structures more livable and help achieve the highest level of the architect’s vision. As families spend more time at home these days, we’re reminded of the impact of our work. It brings into sharp perspective the importance of structures as places of refuge and renewal in the lives of people. We’re motivated to pursue every opportunity to facilitate restorative spaces that continue to inspire and protect the people inside. It’s a privilege and a pleasure to know that communities of people are living, working and learning in the spaces we help create and bringing our work to life.

CONSTRUCT DIVERSITY The design and construction industry has historically managed, run and owned by a homogenous group: white males. ConstructDiversity is here to broaden that demographic, opening opportunities to promote race and gender diversity within our industry in the Greater Puget Sound Region of Western Washington. A non-profit foundation, ConstructDiversity partners high school students with mentors in design and construction. Students meet with a mentor in the industry each week of the school year, rotating to a new partner company each month, and after completing these rotations, students are offered a paid internship the following summer. We believe that by giving minority and inner city high school students exposure to careers in this industry we can show young people that they are welcome, wanted and needed in these environments. We believe that we can instill hope, trust, desire and focus to pursue these career paths while giving incentive to stay in high school and progress toward college or trade school. And we believe inclusion is where diversity begins.
