The most outstanding building projects from across the country have been awarded by the Metal Construction Association (MCA) in seven categories. The criteria include overall appearance, significance of metal in the project, innovative use of metal, and the role of metal in achieving project objectives.
The entries inspired a great deal of passion, enthusiasm and debate among this year's judging panel of distinguished architects, which included James Theimer, Principal Architect, Trilogy Architecture; Mark Roddy, Lecturer in the Department of Design, California State University, Sacramento; and Erik Mehlman, Partner and Design Lead at BuildSense | Architecture + Construction.
Award recipients are selected from projects submitted by MCA members to Metal Architecture magazine's annual Design Awards Program. Winners were announced at the MCA Winter Meeting Awards Dinner in Palm Springs, CA on January 14th.
