The recipients of the 2009 award program were selected based on overall building design, integration of copper systems, craft of copper installation, and excellence in innovation or historic restoration.
“We continue to see copper being used in various building projects throughout North America because of its durability, longevity and lasting beauty,” says Andy Kireta Jr., CDA’s vice president for building construction. “We’re proud that copper remains the metal of choice by architects in new building construction and renovation, in both interior and exterior applications.”
