Honorable Mention for Most Multi-Modal
Boston Transithon
By William Rawn Associates
Jury comments: We were impressed with how many forms of transit are featured—it seemed they included almost every single mode possible! Bonus points that they were the architects who completed the BPL renovation so they're very familiar with the façade and detailed it nicely.
Honorable Mention for Most Aspirational
Charles River Commuter Ferry
By Nathaniel Bennett & Family
Jury comments: They came up with a whole new transportation system! Someday it would be amazing if we could have ferries that were solar powered. The water is also well executed.
Honorable Mention for Sweetest Future
Hovering Through the Sweet City
By Northeast Metro Tech High School
Jury comments: Great job with details on the buildings and making them really stand out. We really appreciated the collaborative nature of this project and think they have a bright future ahead!
Honorable Mention for Best Tunnel
The Fabric of Boston

Jury comments: The tunnel is great—very clean and well lit!
