U.S. EPA and AIA Lifecycle Building Challenge 2009 Award of Honorable Mention.  This competition aims to shape the future of green building and facilitate local building materials reuse. Lifecycle building is designing buildings to facilitate disassembly and material reuse to minimize waste, energy consumption, and associated greenhouse gas emissions. Also known as design for disassembly and design for deconstruction, lifecycle building describes the idea of creating high-performance buildings today that are stocks of resources for the future.

AA Fab 2009 First Place. The competition organized by the AA|FAB Research Cluster asked for submissions to the Designing Fabrication Awards. The Cluster is interested in recently built projects identifying the most innovative integration of design and fabrication processes through digitally driven design systems and protocols that contribute to an international discourse on the emerging technologies. Work should exemplify how the designer is increasingly approaching the material fabrication and assembly of projects as an integral part of the design process and how the acquisition of these new forms of knowledge is changing the existing definitions of the profession.
The Architectural Association School of Architecture is one of the world’s most renowned and influential schools of architecture. It is the most prestigious and selective architecture school in the United Kingdom. Its wide-ranging program of exhibitions, lectures, symposia and publications have given it a central position in global discussions and developments within contemporary architectural culture. Many of the world's most celebrated and respected figures in architecture and its associated fields studied and taught at the AA including 3 Pritzker Prize winners.
Award of $2000.
