2005 AIA Triangle Design Awards
AIA Triangle received 76 project entries in this year’s Design Awards program. The submittals represented work from architectural firms throughout the Triangle region. These projects varied in scope from large institutional mental health campus to small house garden pavillion. As always, the range of styles vary - from ultra modern to more traditional - highlighting the diversity and talents of the architectural expressions that are created within our area. The one common thread throughout all the projects is the high quality of the work presented in this program.
AIA Triangle Design Awards Jury

2005 Isosceles Award
 It is with great pleasure that the AIA Triangle Design Awards Committee presents the 2005 Isosceles Award to Robert Paschal Burns, FAIA. Bob Burns has dedicated his life’s work to architecture and architectural education. After graduating from MIT with a Masters in Architecture, Professor Burns joined the Faculty of the School of Design at NC State in 1965. Since that time, he has served as a teacher and mentor to students of architecture and a leader within the school and community. During his 40 years with the School of Design, Professor Burns created several new courses to enrich the architecture curriculum and also established the Masters of Architecture program.
He has held many leadership positions during his time at the School of Design. He served as the Head of the Architecture Department for 15 years, as the Associate Dean of the School of Design from 1984 to 1990 and Director of the School for the 2001-2002 academic year. Professor Burns has made outstanding contributions to architecture not only in education, but in scholarly research and preservation as well. He directed a statewide study of North Carolina court facilities for the Administrative Office of the Courts called “100 Courthouses”, published in 1978. The study has helped guide the improvement of judicial facilities since that time and won an award from the Historic Preservation Society of North Carolina.
More recently, Professor Burns directed the renovation and addition to the Kamphoefner House in Raleigh, NC. This property was originally designed by Henry Kamphoefner and George Matsumoto. It is included on the National Register of Historic Places and is a significant example of modernist architecture in Raleigh. A devoted teacher, leader and scholar, Professor Burns is celebrated for his outstanding contributions to architecture and architectural education in North Carolina.
