Just in case you missed the announcement on Monday, the AIA just revealed the winners of their eleventh annual Top Ten Green Awards for the most environmentally friendly buildings. The catch is that only those that applied were eligible to make the list. This year the winners were chosen from 95 entries (previous years were chose from 40-50) and among them are some of Wired’s favorites.
And the winners are...
* EpiCenter, Artists for Humanity(Arrowstreet, Inc.), Boston, MA
* Global Ecology Research Center (EHDD Architects), Stanford, CA
* Government Canyon Visitor Center (Lake/Flato Architects), Helotes, TX
* Hawaii Gateway Energy Center (Ferraro Choi and Associates), Kailua-Kona, HI
* Heifer International (Polk Stanley Rowland Curzon Porter Architects, Ltd.), Little Rock, AR
* Sidwell Friends Middle School (Kieran Timberlake Associates), Washington, DC
* Wayne L. Morse U.S. Courthouse (Morphosis & DLR Group), Eugene, OR
* Whitney Water Purification Facility (Steven Holl Architects), New Haven, CT
* Willingboro Master Plan & Public Library (Croxton Collaborative Architects, PC), Willingboro, NJ
* Z6 House (LivingHomes with Ray Kappe Architects), Santa Monica, CA
Shameless promotion of Wired's stellar coverage:
KieranTimberlake Associates were the architects behind the Loblolly House featured in Wired Mag's January Issue. LivingHomes may sound familiar because Steve Glenn, the company's founder, was discussed in the same *Wired *Article; the house he submitted is his own, and it was assembled in 8 hours out of 11 modules. And most recently, Sonia Zjawinski, one of Wired's architecture hounds at large, blogged about Steven Holl.
