Explore 594 illustrated award cases: actual buildings and architectural honours, with the programme, year and official evidence stated separately.
Built-project awards and career honours recognise different subjects. Award year, building completion and photography date are distinct; a personal honour does not transfer to every building by its recipient. Photographs open at a larger size with creator and licence references.
The 2011 AIA Gold Medal recipient record names Fumihiko Maki, Hon. FAIA. Fumihiko Maki studied with Kenzo Tange at the University of Tokyo, continued his education at Cranbrook and Harvard, and worked in American architectural offices. Teaching at Washington University brought his first design commission, Steinberg Hall. His official biography describes an explicitly modernist practice attentive to technology, modular construction and a widening material palette.
