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."
After careful consideration, site visits, and a few days of healthy debate, the 2018 Harleston Parker jury made their choice for Boston's "most beautiful" new building. The most significant criteria for this year's jury was the depth of a building's conversation—architectural and philosophical—with its community. But how do YOU define beauty in architecture? Cast your vote in the 2018 People's Choice Award poll and have your say in which building deserves the coveted medal.
The winner of the People's Choice Award—as well as the winner of the Harleston Parker Medal—will be revealed at the 8th Annual BSA Design Awards Gala, on the evening of Thursday, January 17. Voting closes at noon, January 17.
VOTE NOW.
