A 2014 American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) award went to the team behind Newport Beach Civic Center and Park in California. Now, 2015 entries are being sought.<\/span> Photo courtesy David Wakely Photography<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) is looking for steel-framed building projects to compete in its 2015 Innovative Design in Engineering and Architecture with Structural Steel (IDEAS2<\/sup>) Awards program. For more than a half-century, these annual prizes have honored outstanding achievement in engineering and architecture on structural steel projects across the United States.<\/p>\n

There are National and Merit award-winners in three categories, based on constructed value\u2014less than $15 million, $15 million to $75 million, and greater than $75 million. (Occasionally, a Presidential Award of Excellence in Engineering is bestowed at the judges\u2019 discretion.) In reaching a decision, the judges emphasize creative solutions, visual impact, and applications of innovative approaches in areas such as connections, gravity systems, lateral load-resisting systems, fire protection, and blast.<\/p>\n

Projects selected for recognition will be announced at next year\u2019s North American Steel Construction Conference (NASCC), taking place in Nashville, Tennessee in March; awards are then presented by AISC to the submitting firms and their fellow project team members at the individual project sites during the year.<\/p>\n

To be eligible, projects must have completion dates between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2014. A significant portion of the framing system of the building project must be wide-flange or hollow structural steel sections (HSS). Pedestrian bridges entered in the competition must be an intrinsic part of a building and not standalone structures. For more information, visit www.aisc.org\/ideas2<\/a>. Entry deadline is December 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
