CALL FOR NOMINATIONS! ACSF OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
The purpose of the Architecture, Culture, and Spirituality Forum (ACSF) Award for Outstanding Achievement is to recognize, celebrate, and raise public awareness of exceptional work in architecture, landscape architecture, art, design, urbanism, planning, and related fields.
Awardees are selected for their seminal professional, educational, or scholarly contributions in these areas as they align with the primary mission of ACSF — to provide a forum for scholarship, research, education, practice, design, and advocacy regarding the cultural and spiritual significance of the built environment. Past recipients include Karsten Harries (2018), Juhani Pallasmaa (2019), and David Leatherbarrow and Brigitte Shim & Howard Sutfliffe (2020).
