Excerpts from the story:
A total of 25 outstanding design projects created by west
Michigan architectural firms vied for an award at the American Institute of
Architects Grand Valley Chapter’s 2005 Honor Awards program.
Four projects earned recognition in the Building Design
category. The first award went to Progressive AE for its work on DeVos
Place.
The designing of the new convention center on a 13-acre
urban site was no easy task, especially considering the site had severe
subsurface geological conditions and is bordered by primary streets and a
river. The river and its rapids inspire the overall architectural form.
