Harleston Parker People's Choice Award
Every year, a jury convened by the Boston Society of Architects/AIA (BSA/AIA) is asked to award the Harleston Parker Medal, which recognizes “the most beautiful piece of architecture, building, monument, or structure built in the metropolitan Boston area in the past 10 years.”
The BSA wants to know, how do you define beauty in architecture?
Voting is now open for the 2020 People’s Choice Award. Everyone interested in architecture and design is invited to participate and select their favorite from the 2020 Harleston Parker Medal finalists (below). Voting closes at 11:59 PM on Wednesday, January 20, the night before the BSA Awards Gala.
