1986 jury commentary

  • Bold design is seen more and more in schools, even on the elementary level.

  • Sophisticated materials, colors and details, like glass block and Euro-style fixtures, nontraditional colors, shapes and patterns, and purely decorative structural elements are finding acceptance in educational architecture.

  • Regionalism — the use of indigenous forms and materials is prominent in this year's portfolio, especially in New England and the Southwest. A special pride in community, respect for regional heritage, and a commitment to preservation are evident in these schools.
