For the third year in a row, Columbus Underground is celebrating the contemporary architectural and design talents represented in the myriad of new development proposals that have been announced over the course of the past 12 months. While other local architectural awards honor completed projects after construction has finished, ours awards takes a look at conceptual designs that have been formed only in renderings and on paper, and in some instances may not even be finalized or approved.
This week, we’re asking our design-savvy readers to rank the top 23 architectural projects that have been presented and proposed in the Columbus region in the past year. We’re asking readers to review them based on design aesthetic rather than form or function. No value should be assigned to personal preferences on building height, apartments pricing, or square footage of retail space. Instead, we’re looking for your opinions on how pleasing these designs are to the human eye.
Once you’re ready, you can CLICK HERE to cast your votes on the architectural designs in Columbus for 2017. Voting will remain open through Saturday, November 25th at 11:59pm. The winner(s) will be announced next week!
