The Copper Development Association and the Canadian Copper & Brass Development Association announced the winners of its joint 2009 North American Copper in Architecture Awards.

The Copper Development Association and the Canadian Copper & Brass Development Association announced the winners of its joint 2009 North American Copper in Architecture Awards.

Recipients were judged by a panel of experts on overall building design, integration of copper systems, installation, and excellence in innovation or historic restoration. Thirty-four entries were received.

“We continue to see copper being used in various building projects throughout North America because of its durability, longevity and lasting beauty,” said Andy Kireta Jr., the Copper Development Association’s vice president for building construction. “We received so many great entries that it made judging this year’s awards program a difficult task.  We’re proud that copper remains the metal of choice by architects in new building construction and renovation, in both interior and exterior applications.” 

The full list of winning projects, with photos, are available at theCDA or theCCBDA Web sites.
