#ArchMadness2015 Round Three
The competition is heating up as #ArchMadness2015 enters its third round of eight finalists. The tournament began with 32 of the most recent AIA Twenty-Five Year Award winners—buildings 25 to 35 years old that are recognized for their architectural excellence. From Round One emerged a crop of 16 of the greatest award-winning projects that brought some interesting Round Two matchups, notably two Louis Kahn–designed art galleries (Yale Center for British Art vs. Kimbell Art Center) and some interesting residential architecture (Bruce Goff's Bavinger House vs. Moore Lyndon Turnbull Whitaker's Sea Ranch Condominium I). Voter turn out increased from 500+ to 800+ ballots from the first to second round. Here's a breakdown of the results:
