1992 ALA/Florida Graphics Awards This new awards program was implemented to recognize and encourage excellence in graphic communica- tions in architecture. Entrants were judged on the quality and effectiveness of the graphic design submitted rather than on the merits of the project it represented. Graphics were judged in the categories of architectural delin- eations, conceptual sketches and sketch books, renderings, presentation drawings, schematic drawings, working drawings, diagrams for built and unbuilt projects and business graphics. The jury for the 1992 program included Joel Fuller of Pinkhaus Design Corporation in Miami, Thomas A. Spain, Architect, of Miami and Jacques Auger of Jacques Auger Design Associates, Inc. in Coral Gables. The four graphic designs which were premiated are represented here along with the jury's comments. Goodland Marina Artist: Andrea Clark Brown, AIA, with Nancy Sanders, Assistant Category: Sketches/Renderings Media: Water soluble crayon on watercolor paper using hand and brush blending Jury: "This is an example of a match between the image and the project. The painting has a similar attitude to the actual building in that it is layered and textural, ambiguous and deliberately surreal..almost Salvador Dali-like." Churches of Europe Artist: Clyde A. Brady, Ill, FAIA Hunton Brady Pryor Maso Architects, PA Category: Travel sketches Media: Rapidograph and ink on board Jury: "Very interesting series of sketches. Admirable draftsman- ship and commendable time and energy spent producing this work. Architects should be thinking about market- ing graphics like this."

Reeves, IV, AIA Category: Printed graphics Media: Full color commercially printed Jury: "Good outreach marketing effort in a manner that is untradi- tional for an architec- ture firm. The poster does not make it clear what kind of architec- ture this firm does, but it makes one curious. As an internal tradi- tion, it must help com- pany morale. It looks like a good place to work."

Baker, AIA Hunton Brady Pryor Maso Architects, PA. Owner: Orlando Utilities Commission Category: Sketches Media: Marker and prismacolor pencil on yellow tracing paper Jury: "This technique has a certain natural friendliness. It is loose, not harsh, with an element of abstraction. There is a fine art quality present while still maintaining the architectural detail." Photography by: Ross-Ehlert evwMafidt
