Each year, the American
Institute of Architects Oregon Chapter/Eugene Section (AIA Eugene), in
collaboration with the Willamette Valley Section of the American Society of
Landscape Architects (ASLA), sponsors the People’s Choice Awards
for Architecture. The venerable awards program aims to educate and inspire
our fellow citizens by showcasing architecture, interiors, and landscape
architecture projects created within the AIA Eugene section area by AIA or ASLA
members.
2022 marks the 33rd year
of the People's Choice Awards. The projects presented for consideration were
uniformly of a high quality, a testament to the maturation and increasing skill
of local design professionals. Voting opened October 1 and continued through October
17, with the public and AIA and ASLA members alike casting their ballots,
either at the display of projects boards in the Broadway Commerce Center, or
online through the AIA Eugene website.
For the first time since 2019, the awards celebration took
place in-person at 255 Madison on
October 26 (as opposed to occurring virtually). I unfortunately was unable to
attend (I had/have a cold and did not want to share my unpleasant bounty with
others). Those who did attend tell me the event was a success.
The 2022 program presented a total of sixteen projects across six categories (this is a small number in comparison to prior years; hopefully,
we will see an increase in submissions for 2023). While boasting rights are a
definite plus for the award recipients, the real benefit is raising the public’s
awareness of quality architecture and the talents of local architects and landscape
architects.
Without further ado, here is the list of 2022’s People’s
Choice Award recipients:
Interiors (Commercial/Public/Institutional)
Landscape Architecture
Multi-Family Residential
Public/Institutional
Single Family Residential
Unbuilt Projects
The
event organizers at AIA Eugene/ASLA prepared presentation boards for each of
the winners. The boards are currently viewable outside of the Octagon at 92 E.
Broadway in downtown Eugene, so check them out if you’re in the neighborhood. Each
board features a detailed description and more photographs of the winning projects.
Congratulations
to all the award recipients, and big thanks to the event sponsor—Rubenstein’s—and to the members of the
organizing committee for producing this year’s People’s Choice Awards program.
