The University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Architecture is committed to instructing, researching, exploring, and promoting design excellence. However, the alumni awards and recognition pieces that it bestows on award winners and to significant contributors is anything but excellent in design. Recognizing the need for honoring achievements though a higher form of expression, a solution was designed that better aligns with the College of Architecture. The solution is a low-tech approach to trophy hardware that provides an unpretentious yet refined piece from one material and one detail.

Jury Notes: The jurors praised the design of the actual awards elevated to a designed object -highly coveted objects we would proudly display!
