2006 AIA Triangle Design Awards
AIA Triangle received 84 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 a new satellite campus for a local community college to a dog box for the Durham Beagle Rescue. 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 for the jury’s review. This year’s awards were presented to the winners at an Awards Reception held at Bay 7 of the renovated American Tobacco Complex in Durham on April 19, 2006.
AIA Triangle Design Awards Jury
The Jury for the 2006 AIA Triangle Design Awards was made up of a group of architects from the New Orleans area.

It protects historic properties by identifying, purchasing and reselling them through the award-winning Endangered Properties Program. Over the years, Preservation North Carolina has saved nearly 500 historic properties and maintains two of the state’s most important architectural landmarks as museums: the Bellamy Mansion in Wilmington and Ayr Mount in Hillsborough. Preservation North Carolina has won awards from the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Historic House Association of America and the National Parks Service.

He has been widely published and has made presentations on the work of Preservation NC in more than 30 states and 3 foreign countries. Myrick is involved both in the Triangle community and with preservation on a national level. Each year he teaches a graduate seminar on Historic Preservation Planning at the University of Chapel Hill.

He has received numerous awards and recognitions for his work in preservation and within the design community, including the 2003 Design Guild Award from the College of Design at NC State University.
Through the years, Myrick has formed an alliance of support and friendship with many Triangle architects. At a time when sustainability is becoming ever more important, the knowledge, dedication and sensitivity toward historic architecture that Myrick Howard and Preservation North Carolina bring to the Triangle, and to North Carolina, is truly invaluable.
