Long Center, and other projects, nets architecture prize
The Long Center for the Performing Arts netted a 2009 AIA Austin Honor Award Saturday night from the Austin chapter of the American Institute for Architects.
Design architects Nelsen Partners Architects and lead designer Stan Haas were honored.
I sent my design love to the Long Center last year in a review shorty after it opened. A year later, I still think the Long Center is one of the smartest additions to our built landscape.

Also among the 14 winners of an AIA design award this year was “Ultimate Pulse,” the temporary public art project by Legge Lewis Legge architects that lit up First Night Austin 2008 with 1000 LED flashlight discs.

And Miro Rivera Architects won for their very sculptural public restroom on the north side of the Town Lake Hike and Bike Trail.
