Best Historic Architecture
St. Barnabas Episcopal Church and The Christian Science Church
“Designed by T.S. Montgomery, both structures gracefully respond to site, climate, and the human scale of architecture on a functional level that has stood the test of time.”

Best New Architecture
Agave Library
“Will Bruder's new library has a poetic relationship to the context and yet a completely functional relationship as a library.”

Best "Off-the-Beaten-Path" Architecture
The 1966 IBEW Union Hall
“Al Beadle established a new language for Phoenix vernacular by reinventing modernism for the desert climate.”

Best Restaurants
The Parlor
“…for its ingenious use of a classic bries-soliel wall on the south elevation and fantastic food.”

Liberty Market Café
“The food is outstanding. The menu has enough variety to eat there often. And the restaurant is revitalizing a historic neighborhood.”

Best Museum
Phoenix Art Museum
“The museum [designed by Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects] has a quality of spatial choreography throughout the museum—definitely the best place in Phoenix to see great art!”
