The jury has spoken, and 10 projects across the country have won 2023 Innovative Design in Engineering and Architecture with Structural Steel (IDEAS²) Awards!

These awards, presented annually by AISC, are the industry’s most prestigious design honor, recognizing projects that illustrate the exciting possibilities of building with structural steel and highlight the many ways steel can help express architectural intent while harnessing its unique advantages for both simple and complex structural systems.

This year’s winners are an intriguing mix of adaptive reuse and brand-new structures.

PartILLATION: Visions in Steel is a traveling art exhibition celebrating steel in the built environment. It debuted in October at the Architecture Center Houston (ArCH) and will travel to other cities throughout the country. Keep an eye out for news of upcoming events at www.aisc.org.
