CAPA Architects Earn Top AIA Honors

Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects, the team behind Bennington's Center for the Advancement of Public Action (CAPA), has won the American Institute of Architects' 2013 Architecture Firm Award. The annual award recognizes a practice that has produced distinguished architecture for at least 10 years, and is considered the highest honor the AIA bestows on an architecture firm.

Notable projects by Williams and Tsien include the Long Island House in Wainscott, N.Y.; the C.V. Starr East Asian Library at the University of California-Berkeley; the David Rubenstein Atrium at Lincoln Center in New York City; and the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia. Bennington's Center for the Advancement of Public Action, a $20-million complex of three buildings clad in reclaimed Vermont marble, was completed in the summer of 2011.
