Five Colleges Associate Professor Naomi Darling was recognized with a merit award for her Takahashi-Harb Loft and Library (see image at left). Darling also received a citation award for her temporary installation, Solar Time.

Every two years, WMAIA bestows Honorary Membership upon a person or persons outside the profession of architecture. This year the honor was granted to Professor Joseph Krupczynski for his accomplishments as Director of Civic Engagement & Service-Learning at UMass.

WMAIA and the American Institute of Architects (AIA), with support from Pella, awarded two $1000 scholarships to M.Arch. students Micaela Goodrich and Brenden Baitch for their design excellence, clarity of presentation, and community and/or university engagement.
