ANNOUNCEMENT – 61st Annual Progressive Architecture Awards – "Saucier + Perrotte architectes receive citation for Soccer Centre"

Announcement:

“Just what is it that makes this year’s winners so different, so appealing? Jurors Lise Anne Couture, AIA, Nataly Gattegno, Sasa Radulovic, and Marcelo Spina, Intl. Assoc. AIA, focused on innovation, but not for its own sake. Out of more than 150 submissions, the jurors recognized 10 projects, each of them “able to achieve its potential,” as Couture put it. More specifically, what won over the jury was a holistic approach to design with an eye toward practical realization.
