Each year, the judges for the Metal Architecture Design Awards take note of the caliber of the projects submitted. This year, one of the judges acknowledged that we had received an impressive collection of projects, including two that had received national honor awards already. This year, the projects ranged from the usual office buildings and retail shops, to a number of breweries and fire stations, and, we even received a project submission from a firm in Japan. The judges had a spirited discussion, going over each of the project's merits before deciding on the winners. The conversation ranged on a project's craftsmanship and quality of work, to its architectural expression and the use of materials.
