Winners
The jury decided that only one entry expressed outstanding creativity in addressing the design problems associated with making facilities accessible to people with disabilities. This project did not clear the Department's vetting process. Therefore, no winner was selected for this year.
The Carver Academy and Cultural Civic Center
The Carver Academy and Cultural Civic Center has become the new heart of a part of San Antonio, Texas. Consisting of a marriage between a new academy, a newly renovated civic center, and a venerable culture arts center undergoing renovation, this project serves as an inspirational focus for a multi-ethnic community that will transform an impoverished neighborhood into an academic, cultural, and artistic center of national prominence.
"ALEGRIA - The Salvation Army"
"ALEGRIA - The Salvation Army" was conceived as an oasis for families in crisis. Located on 1.6 acres in central Los Angeles, the project provides transitional and permanent affordable housing for large families affected by HIV/AIDS with a community childcare/family development center. The site is bounded by a quiet residential street to the north, apartment and commercial buildings to the east and west, and Sunset Boulevard, a major urban artery, to the south.
