As AIA Chicago celebrates its 43rd annual Design Excellence Awards, we are fortunate that many of this year's winners are close to home. It is a special treat when Chicago's cadre of top architects has the opportunity to demonstrate their skills at home.
Viewing our Virtual Design Exhibit, you will see that their talents have been put to good use on projects that enrich the cultural, recreational, educational and residential character of our city. This year's winners, chosen from 199 entries, were selected by nationally recognized architects from all over the country. The large volume of entries is a testament to the design energy of local architects as well as to the insight and commitment of the clients who commission such work. Winners this year continue the Chicago legacy that good design is necessary to the economic and social health of the city.
