The 12 most innovative and beautifully designed buildings in 2019, according to architects
Business Insider reports on Bill Sorro Community being named one of the 12 most innovative and beautifully designed buildings in 2019
The American Institute of Architects, a national organization for architects and industry professionals, recently released the 12 winners of this year’s Housing Awards.
This year’s entries came from homes designed by licensed US architects as well as owners of residential projects that were completed after January 1, 2014.
A jury of industry professionals measured each entry, on, among other factors, its sustainability, affordability, social impact, and ability to meet specific client needs.
The design of a building can tell a story, bring a community together, or simply imitate societal trends.
With over one million new residential homes expected to reach completion in the US this year, there is a sweeping pool of new techniques, designs, and talent in the world of architecture.
The American Institute of Architects (AIA), a nationally known organization for industry professionals, dwindled that pool of buildings down to 12 remarkable residential designs and named them the winners of the organization’s 2019 Housing Awards. The annual Housing Awards program was established 19 years ago by the AIA. Each year, it recognizes the best residential architecture in new constructions, renovations, and restorations.
In San Francisco, California sits the Bill Sorro Community, which houses 67 units for low-income families and developmentally disabled adults.
It incorporates sustainable living strategies that target energy efficiency, air-quality, storm-water management, and grey-water re-use.
