2014 Canadian Architect Awards of Excellence winners announced

Canadian Architect has announced the winners of the 2014 Awards of Excellence, given each year to architects and architectural graduates for buildings in the design stage. One of only two national award programs devoted exclusively to architecture, the Awards of Excellence have recognized significant building projects in Canada on an annual basis since 1968.

Of six Awards of Excellence given out this year, Atelier TAG + Jodoin Lamarre Pratte architectes in consortium have won an award for the Saint-Jérôme Performance Hall in Saint-Jérôme, Quebec.

This year's winners have been selected by a jury consisting of Éric Gauthier of Les Architectes FABG in Montreal, Michael Green of Michael Green Architecture in Vancouver, and Tyler Sharp of RDH Architects in Toronto. Awards are given for architectural design excellence. Jurors considered response to the program, site, geographical and social context, and evaluated physical organization, structure, materials and environmental features.
