The winner of the Harleston Parker Medal to recognize "the most beautiful piece of architecture, building, monument, or structure built in the metropolitan Boston area in the past 10 years" is Berklee Tower, Berklee College of Music, designed by William Rawn Associates, Architects, Inc. The jury found that "the spaces within the building fill the users with hope and that the beauty can be found not just in the design of the building, but also within the people that inhabit it." With this award, William Rawn Associates has won the Harleston Parker Medal four times since 2005.
"The annual BSA Gala Awards showcase the extensive talent and innovation in the Boston design community," said BSA President Sam Batchelor, AIA. "The incredible work being done reflects our commitment to improving the quality of life for Boston-area residents by solving critical equity and sustainability challenges in built environment."
Projects were evaluated by a jury of architects, designers, artists, public servants, planners, and more from Boston and across the country, and three levels of design awards were bestowed — Honor, Merit, and Impact Advancement Commendation. Additionally, five annual BSA awards were conferred including the Harleston Parker Medal, the Harleston Parker People's Choice Award, the Commonwealth Award, the BSA Award of Honor, and the Earl R. Flansburgh Young Designer's Award.
