Concrete Masonry Association of California and Nevada and its members are pleased to invite you to celebrate with us the winners of the 2006 CMACN Design Awards. Our thanks go to the American Institute of Architects California Council for their continued participation in this annual architectural design awards program. We thank AIACC for providing a nationally recognized, distinguished and thoughtful jury to sit in judgment of the work of their peers designing innovative, sustainable, and safe buildings in California and Nevada.

Unique to the CMACN program are awards for sustainable design. Take a moment and review a collection of design criteria set forth by the California Collaborative for High Performance Schools on the following pages. Concrete masonry is the construction material of choice for durable, sustainable buildings.

The 2006 CMACN Design Awards entrants include a varied cross-section of projects including: Educational, Public/Civic, Commercial, and Residential. Concrete masonry is showcased in all of these designs for its durability, longevity, fire resistance, strength, beauty, energy efficiency, flexibility, noise attenuation, and economy. Buildings constructed of concrete masonry will withstand the test of time.

Executive Director, CMACN

In recognition of the importance of the preservation of our planet and the role of the building industry in this endeavor, Concrete Masonry Association of California and Nevada believes that good design and sustainable practices are inseparable. The Association further believes that the application of masonry products can serve in a major role in assisting projects to meet greater expectations for the performance of buildings in the environment. Therefore, each applicant for the CMACN Awards Program is expected to complete a statement of sustainable design strategies that significantly impacted the design of the project submitted for award consideration and the related use of masonry products. The awards jury will include individuals who are recognized experts in sustainable design practices and they will be empowered to select exemplary projects demonstrating sustainable practices from the entire range of submittals.
