HPAC and Garofalo awarded architectural honor!
Garofolo Architects and the Hyde Park Art Center were awarded second place by the Richard H. Driehaus Foundation in their Architectural Excellence in Community Design category. The award was created to “encourage development that respects and strengthens the city’s architectural heritage, especially in neighborhoods confronting economic and social challenge.” The Garofalo-designed Hyde Park Art Center was recognized for making a significant contribution to the social, visual, and cultural life of its neighborhood. Specifically, the building was commended for being “A perfect fit between form and function, the Center is a structure that satisfies user needs while becoming a genuine work of art in itself.”
All that and we got a shiny award!
