    It's great to see mainstream media coverage of design excellence as defined by the 10 measures of the AIA Framework for Design Excellence and the metrics required by the AIA COTE Top Ten Awards, now in its 23rd year.

    Congratulations to the architects, the client/owners, the communities, and the engineers and other consultants who created these exemplary projects. They have many lessons to share.
