THE JULIA MORGAN AWARDS
The JULIA MORGAN AWARD was first launched in 2014 by the Northern California Chapter of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art. Since then, the JMA has extended its scope to achieve a broader, more inclusive regional partnership with both the ICAA Northwest Chapter and the ICAA Southern California Chapter. Eligibility encompasses any work, regardless of location, completed within the past 10 years by members in good standing of the ICAA Northern California, ICAA Southern California and ICAA Northwest Chapter’s. Conversely, National ICAA members from any chapter in good standing are eligible to submit projects, as long as those projects are located in California, Oregon or Washington.
It is the goal of the Julia Morgan Awards program, that through continued exposure and recognition, these awards will laud Honorees for their work and education in forwarding values of excellence and the importance of building well in our civic environment. Celebrating architects and interior designers, artisans and builders, landscape architects and preservationists, students and patrons for their admirable work in the contemporary practice and support of classical and traditional design - substantiates the importance of an invaluable continuum - as classicism redefines itself for modern problems, promotes a revived culture of building and promises progress through enduringness of craft, quality and beauty.
Historical Recognition: JULIA MORGAN was the first woman to study at the world’s most prestigious architectural school, the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, in Paris. Thereafter, she built a remarkably diverse practice in San Francisco, designing at least 700 buildings that are prized by owners and revered by architectural historians. Julia Morgan was also the first woman to be (posthumously) awarded the prestigious AIA Gold Medal. She was notably an influential member of the Arts & Crafts movement, and her classical design aesthetics offer nonpareil precedent forwarding an important understanding of diverse regional expression in the classical language.
