The Ontario Association of Architects (OAA) has named the 20 Finalists for its 2024 Design Excellence Awards.

The finalists were selected from 100 eligible submissions and judged on criteria such as creativity, context, sustainability, good design/good business, and legacy, the OAA says in a statement.

Submissions also required disclosure of Energy Use Intensity (EUI) metrics, reflecting the OAA’s dedication to advance climate action in the public’s interest and ensuring sustainable, resilient design remains a critical aspect of every successful project.

The 10 winners will be announced in early April and honoured at the 2024 OAA Conference in Niagara Falls in May.

In addition to the Design Excellence Awards, the OAA will also announce the 2024 recipients of the biennial Best Emerging Practice, Medal of Service, and Lifetime Design Achievement Award, as well as the new inductees for the Honor Roll, which posthumously acknowledges the impact of members of the profession.
