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.”
Over the past month, the BSA opened up the polls for anyone interested to help select the People’s Choice Award winner. The winner was narrowed down from the 2022 Harleston Parker Medal finalists (below). When the polls closed on January 17, 2023, the people had chosen their winner.
The 2022 People's Choice Award winner is the King Open / Cambridge Street Upper School and Community Complex designed by William Rawn Associates with Arrowstreet Inc.
