Honoring innovation in craft
Congratulations to Andrew Clark, Architectural Designer, who received a Merit Award as well as the People’s Choice Award in the Student Project Category at the 2025 AIA Maine Design Awards! Andrew was recognized for his project Computational Craftsmanship, which he developed while completing his master’s degree at Syracuse University School of Architecture. The project envisions a future where computational designers and regional craftspeople work in tandem to advance both digital and traditional crafts—reviving nearly lost crafts and integrating them with emerging digital techniques.
