The Palladio Awards
Founded in 2002, the annual Palladio Awards honor outstanding achievement in traditional design. The event recognizes both individual designers and design teams whose work enhances the beauty and humane qualities of the built environment. Through creative interpretation or adaptation of design principles, we celebrate techniques developed through 2,500 years of Western architectural tradition.
The Palladio Awards, co-produced by TRADITIONAL BUILDING and the TRADITIONAL BUILDING CONFERENCE SERIES, is the first and only national awards program for residential and commercial/institutional projects which demonstrate excellence in traditional design.
