Alumni News Guy Peterson | Office for Architecture was honored with three design awards in the AIA Florida/Caribbean Honor and Design Awards. The firm was awarded the Honor Award for Historic Preservation/Restoration for the Center for Architecture | UF CityLab Sarasota, the Merit Award for Unbuilt Design for the Treehouse and the Merit Award for Masonry in Design for the Ferguson Alley House. Guy W. Peterson, FAIA, M.Arch 1978, has released a monograph titled Naked: The Architecture of Guy Peterson that documents his architectural vision and sheds light into his unique process of creating authentic Florida architecture that maintains power in its simplicity. The work featured in his book will be exhibited at the Center for Architecture Sarasota starting September 1 with an accompanying book signing and lecture on September 10. Ivan R. Gomez, RA LEED AP, M.Arch 2004, project manager at Currie Sowards Aguila Architects, received the Juror's Favorite Award when his office submitted in this year's Canstruction Competition. The office built the character Anger from the movie "Inside Out" using Revit, which helped count how many cans the team used and helped build the sculpture more quickly. Raymond Estrella, BDes 2003, was also a part of the winning team. Have some news to share with fellow alumni? We want to hear from you!
