Confindustria Ceramica and the Italian Trade Commission are pleased to announce the winners of the 2007 Ceramic Tiles of Italy Design Competition. A record breaking number of projects, particularly in the commercial category, were submitted to the competition this year. The rich and diverse pool of applicants serves as an example of the wide usage of Italian tile in the US market and illustrates how this material can be specified for any installation.
An international jury considered the overall design of the space as well as how the tiles met their functional and technical requirements. After an intensive selection process, two projects were given the highest prize in the Commercial category. Ellerbe Becket, Inc was selected for their innovative tile application in the atrium of the Target Northern Campus.
The testani design troupe and CMD Architects won for the state-of-the-art Evensong Spa. Honorable Mentions in this category went to HGA (Hammel, Green and Abrahamson Inc.) for their contemporary design of the General Mills, James Ford Bell Technical Center and Divison1 Architects for the attention to detail and the sophisticated charm of the Charlie Chiang’s Restaurant.
In the Residential category, Vanessa De Leon Associates won for the streamline minimalism and glamorous details of the Old Tappan Residence, New Jersey.
This year, the jury gave Honorable Mentions in the Institutional category to Architectural Alliance for the colorful Phoenix SkyHarbor Airport Terminal 4 Redevelopment and Cero Design & Built for three public works entitled In Dreams of Giants, Blacks with Wings, and Ceremonial Spiral.
