Rudy Bruner Award

15 December 2008

Rudy Bruner AwardAt Right: 2001 Gold Medal Winner, Village of Arts and Humanities.

Applications for the Rudy Bruner Award now are available. The Rudy Bruner Award considers form only one aspect of urban excellence. An excellent urban place involves the interplay of process, place and values. Processes may be inclusive, innovative, or participatory. Places may be grandiose or modest, new or historic, but must be well designed. Values guide the inevitable tradeoffs involved in bringing a project to life. The Award recognizes that these relationships are not simple. It seeks to illuminate the complex process of urban placemaking, so that it may be strengthened to better reflect the balance between form and use; opportunity and cost; preservation and change. The Gold Medal is a $50,000 award, and the Silver medals are $10,000 each.

Deadline for applications is 15 December 2008. Visit the site to learn more.
