Assoc. Professor of Architecture Maurice Cox Serves on Jury for 2005 P/A Awards

Assoc. Professor of Architecture Maurice Cox is profiled in the January issue of Architecture magazine, focusing on his award selections as a juror for the 2005 P/A Awards. The P/A awards recognize unbuilt projects demonstrating overall design excellence and innovation in the fields of architecture and urban design.

In the article, Cox comments extensively on the jury’s unprecedented choice this year to grant the award to only one recipient. A single P/A award went to the UCLA Department of Architecture and Urban Design for, “L.A. Now: Volume 3,” an urban design research project encompassing 35,000 housing units in downtown Los Angeles. Cox believes his experience with emerging architecture, politics and design education had a profound influence on his jurorship of the competition.
