The Copper Development Association (CDA)<\/a> has awarded eight copper building projects in the U.S. and Canada as part of its annual North American Copper in Architecture (NACIA) awards program. With a newfound consideration for healthy design in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, designers are turning to the metal for its sustainable and antimicrobial properties.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Launched in 2008, the NACIA awards program recognizes copper\u2019s versatile use in building construction and promotes its applications. Winning projects represent a variety of design styles and buildings including residential structures, government facilities, and museums \u2013 all of which were executed with detail, creativity, and craftsmanship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe future is bright for copper innovation,\u201d says Stephen Knapp, the director of the Strip, Sheet, & Plate Council for CDA. \u201cThe 2020 winners demonstrate the versatility and great natural beauty of copper, and showcase the skill and vision of their installers and specifiers in bringing these designs to fruition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The eight winning projects were selected by experts in the use of copper in architecture. Judges make their selections based on the presence and use of copper and technique throughout the project, the quality of copper installation and function, and when applicable, the significance of the project at hand \u2013 whether historic, modern, or otherwise. A complete list of winners can be found below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
