Aprašymas

The John Staub Awards, presented biennially by the Texas Chapter of the Institute for Classical Architecture & Art, honor architects, interior designers, landscape architects, and master artisans whose work exemplifies beauty, proportion, and enduring craftsmanship. Named for the influential Houston architect John F. Staub (1892–1981)—whose refined yet livable houses evolved the standard for gracious living in Texas and the Southwest—the awards celebrate contemporary practitioners who brilliantly advance this tradition of accomplishment in classical and regional design.

Honoring Excellence in Design: The John Staub Awards commemorates the twentieth anniversary of the Texas Chapter through a lavishly illustrated presentation of winning projects from 2011 to 2024, both in Texas and out of state.

Offering a visual feast of superb creativity, Honoring Excellence in Design reveals the extraordinary talent that abounds in the Lone Star State.

Professionals in architecture, design, and the decorative arts; connoisseurs of the visual environment; and readers who simply appreciate the highest standards of artistic style and function will find much to enjoy in Honoring Excellence in Design.
