State Architecture Awards

Whitney Gould:

A high-tech Milwaukee high school, a sleek meeting center for local brewery employees, a playful aquatic center near Madison and a sculptor’s studio in Switzerland all won top honors Wednesday for architects practicing in Wisconsin from Wisconsin AIA, a society of the American Institute of Architects.
The awards were among 10 presented at the society’s 51st annual convention, held this year at the Monona Terrace Community and Convention Center in Madison.
“There are moments when a perfect storm happens and you are able to put together a terrific project,” the design awards jury said. “The award-winning projects have been pushed over the edge into extraordinary moments of architecture and design excellence.”
