2003 FAITH & FORM
IFRAA RELIGIOUS ARTS & ARCHITECTURE AWARD

 

  In October 2004, Darryl, Peter and Craig went to New York City in to receive the 2003 Religious Art and Architecture Design Honor Award for Liturgical / Interior Design for the renovation of Trinity Episcopal Church in Toledo, Ohio. The award program is sponsored by Faith & Form magazine and the Interfaith Forum on Religion, Art and Architecture. IFRAA is a professional interest area of the American Institute of Architects. Out of 222 submissions for this international awards program, a total of twenty four projects were selected for awards in six categories including New Facilities, Renovation, Restoration, Liturgical/Interior Design, Visual Arts and Liturgical Furnishings.

Originally constructed in 1863, this is the fifth renovation of historic Trinity Episcopal Church in downtown Toledo, Ohio. The project is a combination of restoration, preservation and new construction that relies on roots in the past as well as on the diversity of current experience. The result is a worship space for the 21 st century, firmly rooted in the history of its ancestors, yet poised to accommodate today's assembly.

The project was exhibited at the 2004 National Convention of the American Institute of Architects in Chicago, and was published in the Spring 2004 Awards Issue of Faith & Form magazine.
