2017 Metal Construction News Building and Roofing Awards

Academic and museum buildings for the arts accounted for half the winners in the 2017 Metal Construction News Building and Roofing Awards. The winning projects are themselves artful expressions and exemplify the numerous ways metal can be leveraged in design and construction.
The judges admired Speed Art Museum’s contemporary expansion of a historic building in Louisville, Ky., and bestowed it the Grand Award. The museum features folded aluminum panels based on the original structure’s limestone. Other recipients included a zinc-clad visual arts building with an industrial aesthetic, art museum with stainless steel, hyperbolic forms and cultural center with metal roofs that divert water in a unique way. The winners are:
