The American Institute of Architects has chosen not to award it’s annual Gold Medal for the 36th time in the 95-year history of the prize. The decision doesn’t necessarily mean that no new building was deserving of the honor, merely that 3/4 of the judges could not agree on a single winner. And since the list of nominees is kept confidential, we can all do our own speculation on whether 2001 architecture was a disappointment, or whether two or more worthy finalists managed to split the vote.
