ARTISANSHIP -- John Canning, a Scotsman trained in the applied decorative
arts. Mr. Canning brought the finest old world traditions to the
United States more than forty years ago and has passed on that tradition
to the next generation of his family, now located in Cheshire, Connecticut.
His workmanship and standards of excellence have been instrumental
in the restoration of many of our country's architectural landmarks-such
as the US Capitol, Grand Central Station, and Radio City Music Hall-to
their initial glory.
HISTORY --Charles Peterson. Now a nonagenarian, Peterson had the
extraordinary foresight in 1933 to create the Historic American Buildings
Survey (HABS) -- compendium of sites, structures, and objects important
to our national architectural heritage. Today HABS serves as an invaluable
resource for the architectural profession. Mr. Peterson also played
a leading role in the revitalization of Philadelphia's Society Hill
and Independence Hall National Historical Park.
RENDERING -- Michael McCann of Toronto has an amazing
sensitivity and an exquisite vividness in his rendering. Cited by
clients for
his uncanny understanding of "the big picture" he combines
emotion with technical superiority in his work. Along with leading
architectural commissions, he has depicted major master plans for
projects throughout the world, including Washington, DC, the Boston
Seaport, and Lower Manhattan after 9/11.
STEWARDSHIP AND PATRONAGE -- The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation.
Colin G. Campbell, Chairman & President Colonial
Williamsburg is legendary. Its founders created a total context in
which to appreciate
a fascinating period in our country's history-an important compendium
of how the colonists lived and how they built.

The award winners were selected from over 100 nominations submitted
to a jury chaired by Jaquelin Robertson, founding
partner of Cooper Robertson & Partners and former Dean of the
University of Virginia School of Architecture.
Mr. Robertson called this year's awards an important testimonial
to America's architectural history, "The extraordinary foresight
in the 1930s of John D. Rockefeller, Jr. , founder
of Colonial Williamsburg and Charles Peterson, originator
of The Historical American Building
Society (HABS), laid the groundwork for the recording of our young
country's architectural heritage. Without them, we would not have
the understanding of the creativity and inventiveness of our forefathers."
ICA&CA president, Paul Gunther, referring to “a growing
national roster of members” thanked and commended the awards
jury for this year's selections. “Together, they exemplify
well our mission to sustain and interpret the best lessons from our
design past for the sake of a better and more humane built future
across the country. We are pleased that the leadership of our Honorary
Chairman, Arthur Ross , is celebrated with those to be honored on
May 3, 2004." |
