Five buildings in Southwest Florida have completed the list of the Top 100 Buildings & Places in Florida, which was gathering by the Florida Chapter of the American Institute of Architects.
As part of the festivity of its 100th anniversary, AIA Florida has launched its “Florida Architecture: 100 Years. 100 Places.” opposition, which identifies 100 buildings and places diagonally the state that represent the best in architectural achievement, ranging from the Wentworth Museum in Pensacola to the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami.
And beginning Monday, AIA Florida is asking the public to rank the selected buildings and select the top building in Florida through online voting at aiafltop100.org. Write-in nominations will also be conventional. Members of the public can vote as often as they’d like from Monday through March 31.
“We are so satisfied these buildings in Southwest Florida have been documented,” said Joyce Owens AIA, The News-Press architectural columnist and state director of AIA Florida from the Florida Southwest section.
“Vote often, vote early! Let’s put Southwest Florida on the map for more than just great beaches and sunshine. Over the course of the voting period, we will cheer support for these outstanding architectural landmarks by highlighting them in the community and influence our friends and neighbors to vote for them.”
