Select Architects for New A.I.A. Headquarters
WASHINGTON, D. C. The Philadelphia architectural firm of Mitchell/Giurgola Associates has been selected in a year-long nationwide competition to design a new headquarters building for The American Institute of Architects here.
The Mitchell/Giurgola design concept blends contemporary architecture with the Georgian style of the historic Octagon House on the same site. It was picked from seven finalists in the competition originally including 221 submissions.
The AIA competition called for "a building of special architectural significance, establishing a symbol of the creative genius of our time, yet complimenting, protecting and preserving a cherished symbol of another time, the historic Octagon House."
Ehrman B. Mitchell, Jr., AIA, and Romaldo Giurgola, AIA, are the principals of the winning firm. They envision a five-story, red-brick structure featuring a semi-circular wall, with liberal use of glass, embracing the gardens and the Octagon House at the corner of New York Avenue and 18th Street. The structure will enclose approximately 50,000 square feet of usable floor space.
