2006 Award Winners for Excellence in Masonry Design

The Masonry Institute of Michigan and the AIA Michigan would like to thank all of the architects who participated in this year’s program. Your visions serve as a source of inspiration to those of us who occupy, utilize, and admire your finished works. It should also be noted that, without the direction and support of building owners, these projects could have remained in the minds of the architects and in the manufacturer’s kilns. We, therefore, express our gratitude for their confidence in selecting and using masonry.
