The AIA has selected, Alexander Cooper, FAIA, Daniel Feil, FAIA, and Robert Peck, Hon. AIA, to receive the 2012 Thomas Jefferson Award for Public Architecture.

This year’s award recipients will be honored and receive their awards at the 2012 AIA National Convention and Design Exposition in Washington D.C.

The Thomas Jefferson Award recognizes excellence in architectural advocacy and achievement in three categories: Private-sector architects who have established a portfolio of accomplishment in the design of architecturally distinguished public facilities; public-sector architects who manage or produce quality design within their agencies; and public officials or other individuals who by their role of advocacy have furthered the public’s awareness and/or appreciation of design excellence.
