The Boston Society of Architects/AIA announced today five finalists competing for the 2018 Harleston Parker Medal. Established in 1921 by J. Harleston Parker in memory of his father, the medal recognizes “the single most beautiful building or other structure” in the metro Boston area within the past decade. The Boston Society of Architects/AIA bestowed the first medal to the Boston Lying-in Hospital in 1923.
Anne-Sophie Divenyi, senior capital project manager at the Harvard University Office of Physical Resources and Planning, led a nine-member jury to select the finalists. In the meantime, we'll have to sit tight for the winning announcement, which will happen during the 8th BSA Design Awards Gala on January 17.
