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. |

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.
