The AIA Iowa chapter has announced this year's recipients of their annual Excellence in Design Awards, which recognize architecture projects designed by members of AIA Iowa and emphasize architecture's importance in the community. Nine Iowa projects and one Nebraska project were among the winners.
The 2015 jury included Roy T. Decker, AIA, and Cody Farris, AIA, of Duvall Decker Architects; Matthew Kreilich, AIA, of Snow Kreilich Architects; and Andrew Wells, FAIA, of Dake Wells Architecture.
