The Best Of 2023 AIA KANSAS CITY Presents a full compendium of the entries for the twenty twenty three design excellence Awards



Letter from the Co-chairs As our industry continues to overcome a combination of novel and recurring challenges over the past few years, 2023 has been no exception. Sustained construction cost increases, supply chain issues, and uncertainty in the financial markets have greatly influenced budgets, timelines, and forecasting in the design and construction industry. Greater demands on creativity in not only design, but also delivery, development, and execution are required in order to bring projects to fruition. Despite all of this, we continue to persevere and find meaningful paths forward. The initiative and resourcefulness coming out of our AIA Kansas City chapter continue to overcome industry challenges and should be celebrated. It is time to celebrate! We celebrate the completion of built work despite the given conditions. We celebrate the unbuilt work striving towards innovation. We celebrate our collective effort as an industry moving forward. We celebrate our community, our diversity and our city. We celebrate the friendly competition that pushes us all to strive to do better work. We celebrate being a positive voice for change. AIA Kansas City’s Design Excellence Awards program is our annual opportunity to honor great architecture and design in our community. We’re pleased to have organized a group of outstanding and diverse jurors from the Phoenix metro area. We look forward to their discerning commentary and review of the 2023 submissions. This year, we strove to place additional emphasis on sharing and learning more about each project submitted in an effort to reflect on and continue to learn from the talent of our chapter. The collective elevation of design excellence across the Kansas City community is a unifying goal for this year’s committee. While many norms have changed in the last few years, the Design Excellence Awards program still maintains the fundamental benchmarks to ensure recognition is inclusive and emphasizes the diversity and innovation advancement in Kansas City. Sustainability continues to be a focal point within our submission requirements, and we are thrilled with the thoughtful and impactful ways this principle has been incorporated in so many designs. To ensure all project types are highlighted in a meaningful way, the award categories are arranged by scale. Architecture submissions were judged against others with similar opportunities and constraints in five scale-related categories: Extra Small, Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large. In addition, categories for Interior Architecture, Concept Design, and Divine Detail provided an opportunity to highlight the depth and diversity of design talent across a variety of scales and project types. With the impressive quality of submissions and positive feedback received from our AIA Kansas City chapter, the Design Excellence Awards Committee would like to thank everyone for their support of this year’s program. We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to our committee for their time, creativity, and determination to make this celebration a success. Sincerely,

Wendell Burnette, FAIA

Diane Jacobs, FAIA

Eddie Jones, FAIA

Wendell Burnette is a self-taught architect with an internationally recognized body of work. Based in Phoenix for over twentyseven years, Burnette’s studio is concerned with space, light, c o n t e x t , a n d c o m m u n i t y. Originally from Nashville, Burnette discovered the southwest desert as an apprentice at Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin West. He was a Professor of Practice at Arizona State University for fifteen plus years and teaches and lectures widely in the United States and abroad. His design philosophy is grounded in listening and distilling the essence of a project to create highly specific architecture that is resonant with people, program and place, while being at once functional and poetic. WBA’s projects include residences located across US, public libraries, community centers, museums, adaptive reuse, historic preservation, and hospitality (hotels, spas and restaurants) including the much acclaimed Amangiri Resort in southern Utah, as well as other works internationally.

Diane Jacobs is the founder of Holly Street Studio, a design firm located in downtown Phoenix, AZ. In 1999, she left behind a successful trajectory in corporate architecture to start what was to be a ‘temporary endeavor’ in the front room of their bungalow on Holly Street. She used this opportunity to challenge both the thinking and delivery of architecture along with her partner Michael Jacobs, AIA, who joined the firm in 2002. With an outstanding staff of creative and critical thinkers, they have grown the firm’s portfolio to include dozens of sustainable, award‑winning projects in the public realm at all scales — for universities, community colleges, municipalities, non-profit foundations, and local small businesses. Diane is a lifelong champion of community causes, including National AIA Women’s Leadership Summit, AIA AZ Women’s Leadership Group, National Organization of Minority Architects, Urban Land Institute, and Local First Arizona. She holds a position as Faculty Associate at ASU’s Design School, and received the AIA Arizona Architect’s Medal in 2016, and led Holly Street Studio to AIA AZ Firm of the Year in 2017.

Edward Jones, with his business partner and brother Neal, was raised in the oil fields of Oklahoma. From a very early age the two brothers aspired to be architects and share a studio. Eddie was born in Fort Worth, Texas in 1949 and moved to Arizona in 1973 after graduating from Oklahoma State University. He founded Jones Studio on June 8, 1979, three months before his 30th birthday. It was not until years later, he realized he had begun his professional career on birthday of his two major heroes… Frank Lloyd Wright and Bruce Goff. Eddie’s persistence and innovation has expanded the palette of materials and methods available throughout Arizona. His longs tanding implementation of sustainability and environmental d e s i g n , m atc h e d w i t h a n extraordinary sensitivity to the factors that create space, has improved the experiences of those that occupy, and moreover, the spaces occupied.
