Architectural Record has named Dean and Paley Professor Marilyn Jordan Taylor a winner of the 2015 Women in Architecture Educator Award in recognition of her leadership in architectural education and her significant influence in architecture, urban design, and planning. In its second year, the Women in Architecture Awards celebrates five architects for their contributions to the field while highlighting the increasingly visible role women play in the profession.
Dean Taylor is delighted to receive the award in the company of four distinguished colleagues who will be honored this year as well, in the categories of design leader, new generation leader, innovator, and activist. They are:
Billie Tsie, founding partner of Tod Williams Billie Tsien, New York. Her practice is known for major institutional and cultural projects, such as the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia.
Meejin Yoon, principal and co-founder, Howeler + Yoon Architecture, Boston, and head of the department of architecture at M.I.T. Yoon’s work explores material and experience in architecture, at a variety of scales, most recently completing the Sean Collier Memorial at M.I.T.
Anna Dyson, professor of design, technology and theory at the School of Architecture at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and founding director of the Center for Architecture, Science and Ecology (CASE). Dyson is an innovator whose work centers on collaborative research among diverse disciplines to develop new systems for building and energy generation.
Pat Sapinsley, Managing Director of Cleartech Initiatives at New York University’s Urban Future Lab. Sapinsley’s work brings together green technology and entrepreneurship to create a stronger marketplace for sustainable solutions.
This year’s honorees were selected by an independent jury whose members included Rosalie Genevro, executive director, the Architectural League; critic Sarah Williams Goldhagen; Jill Lerner, principal, KPF; Mark Lamster, architecture critic, The Dallas Morning News; and Mark Regulinski, managing director, SOM.
“We aim to push the conversation about women in architecture forward with this forum,” says Cathleen McGuigan, editor-in-chief, Architectural Record, “to spotlight their accomplishments and encourage firms to promote women architects and their work.”
The forum and luncheon to honor winners will take place October 6, 2015, at the Time & Life Building in New York—the day before RECORD’s 2015 Innovation Conference.
