2008 NCARB Prize

The 2008 NCARB Prize jury, comprising members of the Council's Practice Education Committee and six academic representatives (deans, heads, or chairs) from schools with architecture programs accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board, (NAAB) nominated by NCARB's regional leadership, met March 26-27, 2008 in Houston, TX. They considered 31 entries representing 22 different colleges and universities.

Both entries and jurors were divided into two groups based on regional location. Each team evaluated a set of anonymous submissions and selected finalists, which were then reviewed by the entire jury. The jury’s decision was announced during the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) Annual Meeting Awards Ceremony, March 28, 2008 in Houston, TX.

Six Prize winners were selected for awards. The NCARB Prize grand prize—a cash award of $25,000—will be presented to the Department of Architecture, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. Five submissions were selected as NCARB Prize winners and recipients of $7,500 each; individual submissions from the School of Architecture, Arizona State University and the Department of Architecture, the Savannah College of Art and Design; a joint submission from the School of Architecture, University of Arkansas and the School of Architecture, Washington University in St. Louis; and two submissions from the School of Architecture, Clemson University.
