T. David Fitz-Gibbon Virginia Architecture Firm Award to VIA design architects

Posted on by cguske

The T. David Fitz-Gibbon Virginia Architecture Firm Award is the highest honor bestowed by AIA Virginia to a Virginia-based architecture firm and is intended to recognize a firm that has consistently demonstrated outstanding and continuous contributions to the profession, to the community, and are known for the quality of their work. VIA design architects of Norfolk, Virginia will be honored with this award for 2024.

Founded in 1991 by visionary architect Donna Phaneuf, VIA has consistently remained ahead of the curve. As their vision statement states, “VIA isn’t just about designing spaces; it’s about shaping the future. We are guided by three core principles that define our approach: future-focused, client-centric design, and community-driven initiatives. These principles are embodied in every project we undertake, from innovative sustainable practices to nurturing the next generation of architects.”

As stated by their nominator for this award, “VIA design sees things that don’t exist and makes them happen. They always have. They created a woman-owned firm, embracing the change they wanted to see in architecture and in society… a diverse, equitable practice. They incorporated environmental stewardship in their projects even before it became the clarion call of a generation; and, they never stop learning… from their work, from their clients and from their colleagues… evolving from what they learn. VIA design exemplifies 21st Century practice, yet, their practice is very personal, a matter of the heart. Theirs is a strong culture of talented collaborators, working in a positive, respectful, and collegial environment, upholding the adage “excellent design matters.” And, they practice what they preach, developing the next generation of architects as the leaders who will create the future of the profession… and of the society we serve. VIA design elevates the profession… consistently producing distinguished architecture… and embodies the very principles of the T. David Fitz-Gibbon Architecture Firm Award.”

To celebrate their successful practice, leadership development, design excellence, and civic engagement, VIA design architects will be honored with The T. David Fitz-Gibbon Virginia Architecture Firm Award at the Visions for Architecture event on Thursday, Nov. 7, 2024, at the Richmond Downtown Marriott.
