A panel of two nationally recognized architects and the editor-in-chief of a nationally respected architecture magazine met at Architecture Center Houston on Thursday, March 22 to select the best of new Houston architecture from among 127 entries. Eligibility was limited to projects completed within the last 5 years and located within the Houston metropolitan area or designed by an architect working in the Houston metropolitan area. The jury selected twenty-one projects in eight categories to receive awards. The jurors were Craig Scott, IWAMOTOSCOTT, San Francisco, Susan S. Szenasy, Editor in Chief METROPOLIS Magazine, New York, and Jon Pickard, Pickard Chilton, New Haven, Connecticut.
