CMACN is pleased to bring you the projects of the 2005 Design Awards Program. We would like to thank the AIA California Council for their assistance with the program and the Jury for their participation in the architectural judgment, the following position statement on sustainable design, and the process for evaluating the product in the context of the projects.
This year’s field is a cross section of public health, learning, sports and work environments. As usual, the choice of reinforced concrete masonry is predominately due to strength and durability. In addition to the attributes of structural concrete masonry, the producers feel they provide the canvas for the growing architectural designer’s creativity and are proud to honor great achievement in these efforts every year.
Along with facilitating the future framework for this awards program, the following review of sustainable design includes descriptive material collected from The Collaborative for High Performance Schools, along with project entrants in the category. CMACN is proud to represent a main structural material choice for these projects and always surprised and excited to see the originality of the entrant’s design. Thank you to all the participants in the program.

In recognition of the importance of the preservation of our
planet and the role of the building industry in this
endeavor, Concrete Masonry Association 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 thatsignificantly 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.
