The American Institute of Architects' Los Angeles chapter (AIALA) has announced that Platform for Architecture + Research will receive the highest honor they bestow on an emerging architecture firm for consistently producing innovative architecture.
PAR is the Los Angeles firm headed by Jennifer Marmon and Angus Goble; it was founded by Marmon in 2003. Recent projects that illustrate how they are "setup as a platform for exchange within a global context" include competition entries for Keelung Harbor and Taichung Cultural Center, both in Taiwan.
In a statement on PAR and the other 2014 Presidential Honorees, AIA|LA President Andrea Cohen Gehring, FAIA, stated: "Los Angeles never stops surprising; we have intelligent, edgy, and innovative people that push the boundaries of today’s architecture and design. I am very pleased to represent this year’s Board of Directors in bestowing these honors to this select group of people that represent the best of LA."
