Overall Jury Statement – Student Projects:
In all of these competitions you see multiple levels of capabilities among students, some obviously at higher levels than others, and that’s typical what any jury would see. Overall the
submissions were quite excellent. The faculty did a good job of recommending the submissions and the students for the competition. We on the jury were impressed with the
quality level and the graphics that were presented. There were a few projects that were obviously the same assignment, so those you can’t help but look and compare to one another
. What we were doing is clearly looking at work at different levels of people in school. Even at the graduate level, someone who is just starting out versus someone who is submitting a
thesis project is going to be an enormous difference. All that aside, it’s clear from the submissions what level they are being submitted at and the jury did not compare them to one
other, but judged them based on their own merit. The ones that had a clear idea as to how they developed the design, the process they went through – those that were clear in their
intentions – came up stronger than those which were so single-focused they were not looking at the broader spectrum. Even though there may have been a list of criteria and requirements
that the professor put on the project, those who were selective, but well-developed, were stronger, rather than try to do everything equally. The outstanding projects in our view were
ones that clearly distinguished themselves because of their development and the sophistication of the level that the student had taken the work, as opposed to just presenting
an idea and then not quite developing it. The graphics that accompanied the outstanding submissions, clearly showed a command of the language of architecture, which some of the others did not.

Overall Jury Statement – Firm Projects:
It was an extraordinary number of projects and an extremely high level of finish in all of them – a very good array of projects to consider. The number certainly shows the vigor of AIA
Maryland’s activities and shows quite frankly a level of architecture that Maryland has established in a very positive way. We saw a range from very low cost, affordable projects to
very expensive, high-end projects, giving us a full array to look at. We found design merit all across the board at all levels of cost per square foot of projects and even sizes of projects.
There was a strong sense of regionalism in the single-family houses that we didn’t see carry over into other categories. We would say this is not necessarily a regional-intensive selection
of winners here. Perhaps it’s the new globalization. The quality of the presentations was very good and complete, there was information for us to understand the projects, and the level of
photography was good. We had enough information to have good discussion about each one. There were many projects that were on the edge of receiving an honor award and we
encourage everyone to resubmit projects that they’re fond of. Double-check photography, the information, and the drawings to give the jury complete information. Another jury will have a
different set of eyes.
