2010 PEAPrize Winners Announced!

Congratulations to the winners of the 2010 Philadelphia Emerging Architecture Prize:

DIGSAU
Moto DesignShop, Inc.

These two firms were selected from all submitted portfolios based on the overall excellence and consistency of their unique architectural visions. They represent the best of recently established design firms in the Philadelphia region. While their production may at first appear dramatically different, DIGSAU and Moto DesignShop share a devotion to highly detailed and crafted modern design. This dedication has been applied to a vast array of project type, resulting in a rich diversity of both built and speculative work. We look forward to their continued success as they energize the evolution of architecture in Philadelphia.

The jury members for the 2010 PEAPrize were Brian Phillips, AIA, LEED AP of ISA and Jon Morrison, P.E. of CVM Construction.
