The AICA USA award for best architecture or design show will be presented to Buckminster Fuller: Starting with the Universe, curated by K. Michael Hays and Dana Miller and appearing at the Whitney Museum of American Art last year. Second place goes to Design and the Elastic Mind, organized by Paola Antonelli (who participated in a panel discussion at last year’s Buckminster Fuller Challenge conferring ceremony at the Center for Architecture) at the Museum of Modern Art.
