by Brianna Crandall — January 22, 2016—The American Institute of Architects (AIA) has selected the 2016 recipients of the AIA Twenty-five Year Award, for a building project that has stood the test of time by embodying architectural excellence for 25 to 35 years, and the Institute Honor Awards, the profession’s highest recognition of works that exemplify excellence in architecture, interior architecture and urban design.
Selected from roughly 500 submissions, 18 Institute Honor Award recipients located throughout the world will be honored at the AIA 2016 National Convention in Philadelphia.
Designed to last 50 years, Monterey Bay Aquarium set new technical standards for aquariums, and its flexible design has accommodated multiple changes over the years. Photo courtesy of Monterey Bay Aquarium
