1991 jury commentary

  • Organization of functional spaces in a clear, easily defined manner is important. It was a plus if this organization showed creativity in the way it handled circulation and required relationships.

  • Quality of space as represented by the three-dimensional character of the interiors. This could be reinforced through color, natural or artificial lighting, or structural expression.

  • Appropriateness of a building as it relates to its site, climate and region, and how that building relates to a neighborhood or surrounding campus structures is important.

  • Permanence in the materials and expression is another important factor. Fadish trends tend to date buildings quickly. Good design should have a long-lasting quality that works well over the life of the institution.
