The Chicago-area chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA Chicago) honored outstanding architectural works of the year at Designight 2015—the chapter’s 60th annual Design Excellence Awards ceremony and celebration. The annual presentation of Designight took place at Navy Pier’s Grand Ballroom on Friday, October 23, 2015, with over 1,000 attendees.
Thirty-six awards were presented for architectural projects spanning a range of design and locales, in four categories: Distinguished Building, Interior Architecture, Divine Detail, and the 10-YearAward, an award added this year to recognize a ten-year-old building for its performance and lasting impact. Four juries comprised of renowned architects from across the country selected the winners from a field of 285 entries.
