1998 Architecture + Energy Award Winners

Winners of the

Architecture + Energy 1998 Design Awards from AIA Portland were announced on June 26. This year’s jurors (including two

EBN Advisory Board members, Gail Lindsey and Ray Cole) took a novel approach by designing awards to highlight the strengths of the best projects, rather than assigning catch-all “grand prize” or “honor” awards.

Optimize Technologies building in Oregon City, Oregon by architect Greg Acker won a

Shared Vision Award. The one-story, 11,000 sq. ft. (1,000 m²) building accomplished its goals at the onset of the project by providing a humane working environment in an industrial setting.

The

Regional Headquarters for the International Woodworkers of America in Gladstone, Oregon, also received a

Shared Vision Award. The 10,000 sq. ft. (900 m²), wood-framed building—constructed in 1980—combines passive and active systems for heating, cooling and ventilation, with daylighting and efficient electrical lighting for increased energy efficiency. Project architect was Howard Glazer, AIA of The Architects Forum.

Dating from 1865, the

Portland City Hall is the oldest building to win an award in the six years of the Architecture + Energy Program. The 87,500 sq. ft. (8,100 m²), four-story building recently underwent a major renovation designed by SERA Architects, P.C, and was honored with

The Cornerstone Award for its “first things first” approach of addressing energy conservation by reducing cooling loads.

Burley Design Cooperative’s Manufacturing Facility, in Eugene, Oregon, won the

Award for Economy of Means and Appropriate Technology. TBG Architects and Planners, Inc. designed the two-story, 60,000 sq. ft. (5,600 m²), pre-engineered metal structure to utilize extensive daylighting, natural ventilation, and amenities to support alternate transportation modes.

The

Marshall Street Addition at Legacy Good Samaritan Hospital in Northwest Portland received the

Award for Enhancing Human, Environmental, and Economic Performance. This 10,950 sq. ft. (1,000 m²) remodel by Johnson Design Studio Architecture, serves both the hospital community and passersby with an “urban wildlife habitat.”
