(From McClatchy-Tribune Regional News - The Salt Lake Tribune - Utah)
Byline: Tom Wharton
Judging a building's design is much like critiquing a piece of modern art. One person's masterpiece can be another's abomination.
And that's part of the fun in being an amateur judge for the Utah chapter of the American Institute of Architects' annual 'People's Choice Awards,' co-sponsored by The Salt Lake Tribune.
This year, readers can to chose from 32 buildings stretching from Blanding to Wellsville and ranging from a structure originally built in 1903 as a grocery store to a Roman Catholic church that hasn't been built.
The Utah AIA asks its members to submit entries for its annual Architecture Design Awards competition. Experts choose awards in a variety of categories in a juried competition.
But the public has its say as well. Those who want to participate can view four photos of each of the 32 entries on The Tribune Web site. The deadline to vote is Nov. 1. The People's Choice Awards will be announced Nov. 7 at the Utah Chapter's annual awards program in the rotunda of the Utah State Capitol. We'll report those winners -- and yours -- in a story in The Mix on Nov. 12.
