Winners of the fifth annual Patron of the Year awards were announced
on November 12 at a ceremony hosted at the University Club of Chicago.
Winning patrons and projects, selected through a rigorous jury process
from a roster of 27 nominees, represent outstanding architectural
projects in commercial, institutional and governmental categories.
The 2008 jury, led by Stanley Tigerman, FAIA, was comprised of prominent
members of Chicago’s architecture, philanthropic and business
communities and included Donna Robertson, Dean of Architecture at
the Illinois Institute
of Technology, Greg Gerber, President of the John Buck Foundation
and Michael McCaskey, President of the Chicago Bears Football Club
and past award recipient.
Unique among architecture awards, the Chicago Architecture Foundation’s
Patron of the Year awards honor business leaders who, by commissioning
and financing buildings, significantly contribute to Chicago’s
outstanding built environment. “It’s important to recognize
the client as a key participant on a project team,” McCaskey
said.
Initiated in 2004 with a leadership
gift from Stein, Ray and Harris LLP, the awards draw an increasing
list of impressive nominations. Nominations for the 2009 awards
will be accepted throughout the coming year.
