Every October the Philadelphia Chapter of the American Institute of Architects celebrates the best and brightest shaping the built environment in the Philadelphia region and beyond.
The Design Awards competition is open to all AIA Philadelphia member architecture firms. Each firm is asked to submit their best projects and provide detailed descriptions based on a set of criteria. Those submissions are then turned over to the Design Awards jury, an out of town group of six architects typically arranged with the help of another AIA chapter, for the selection process.
This year’s jury was from New Orleans, LA and included the following individuals:• Mac Ball, FAIA, Waggonner & Ball Architects• Trula Remson, AIA, Remson Haley Herpin Architects• Steve Dumez, FAIA, Eskew+Dumez+Ripple• Paula Peer, AIA, Trapolin-Peer Architects• Lee Ledbetter, AIA, Lee Ledbetter & Associates• Trey Trahan, FAIA, Trahan Architects

CONGREGATION RODEPH SHALOM
GOLD MEDAL WINNER - BUILT CATEGORY
KieranTimberlake
CLIENTCongregation Rodeph Shalom
Rodeph Shalom is the oldest Ashkenazic congregation in the Western Hemisphere. While the historic building
is well-loved, the lack of interior connection between program spaces, coupled with a somewhat foreboding
and largely opaque exterior, undermined the current vision for a welcoming and open place. The addition offered
the opportunity to improve the historic building through connectivity and legibility, while introducing a contemporary
architectural character of welcome and luminosity.

CLIENTPhiladelphia Center for Architecture and Design
The Philadelphia Center for Architecture and Design renovations included a significant reduction in the size of its
bookstore to create greater visual connectivity throughout the space. The Philadelphia AIA chapter invited one of its member
firms to design and construct a screen wall to separate the store from the main hall using donated material from
a manufacturer of terra cotta rainscreen wall systems. The screen wall explores the creative process writ large. Revealing
the intriguing cross section of an otherwise familiar material became the inquiry. Joining this material in an unconventional
yet sturdy way became the tectonic challenge. Aggregating the connection details into a simple, functional, and ephemeral pattern invites the next level of inquiry about how we can think
differently about the world around us through design.

TRUMBAR LIGHT VAULT
DIVINE DETAIL WINNERStanev Potts Architects
CLIENTKorman Communities
The former Benjamin Franklin Hotel, designed by Horace Trumbauer in 1923, had three large interior check-in windows, similar to a bank teller window. One of these was tasked with becoming a fully functioning cocktail bar. The desire to have a warm, hearth-like glow emanate from the space without adding a distraction to the larger lobby drove many lighting and material choices. Low levels of light, mostly linear LEDs distributed through many sources rather than fewer, brighter lights were employed. Much experimentation was performed in the application of the Muntz Metal, and final light diffusers and color gels were used to adjust light levels in the field.

CLIENTUnder Armour
The unlikely decision to up-cycle an abandoned big box store to a vibrant creative workplace emerged out of Under Armour’s urgent demand for space and sincere commitment to the Baltimore community. Under Armour’s expansion to a new campus at Baltimore’s Port Covington reuses the shell and structure of a 130,000 square foot facility. The addition of a mezzanine level accommodates 650 employees, a 350-seat auditorium, food service, and fitness amenities.

CLIENTThe Department of Energy/The Pennsylvania State University
In 2011, the Consortium for Building Energy Innovation (CBEI) was formed by the Department of Energy. CBEI incorporates
more than twenty member organizations, led by Penn State University, working towards whole building-system solutions for energy usage reduction. Built within a former 1940s navy
recreational building, CBEI Headquarters is a living laboratory for advanced energy retrofit technology. It is designed to
showcase energy-saving mechanical systems and lighting approaches for different space types.

CLIENTWilmington Friends School
Set on a bucolic campus in Wilmington, DE, the Wilmington Friends School initially consisted of a modest school building
adjacent to a small, detached historic farmhouse. Over time, a series of ad-hoc additions have been constructed, surrounding
the schoolhouse and forming a massive floorplate. The most recent expansion, the Global Learning Center, advances
Wilmington Friends School’s highly-regarded International Baccalaureate Program. To mitigate the scale of the addition,
the five new classrooms have been conceived as modest, independent structures organized along a glazed “porch”
which extends from the school’s existing library towards the historic farmhouse.

CLIENTCabrini University
The Cabrini Athletic Pavilion is the first phase in the implementation of a new campus master plan for Cabrini University. The master plan focuses on creating a unified
campus environment, through an inversion of the existing campus plan, moving vehicular traffic to its edges and
creating a pedestrian-focused core, woven together by a network of paths and open spaces. The new Athletic Pavilion
is designed to serve as a great room that connects the various programmatic spaces in a central area at the threshold
between the existing center and the new building.

The owners wanted an amenities building that would accommodate retail clients on the ground floor and a fitness facility, pool, and terrace on the second floor.
