Best Historic Architecture
Grady Gammage Memorial Auditorium
“Set amongst a network of broad pedestrian boulevards and within an arboretum, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Grady Gammage Memorial Auditorium is generally acknowledged as the jewel in the ASU crown.”
Mary Lou Fulton College of Education
“My favorite of the unsung heroes [also at ASU] is the Mary Lou Fulton College of Education, which is housed in the Farmer and Payne Halls designed by Phoenix architect Edward L. Varney. Elegantly proportioned and carefully composed, this is a quiet and unassuming building, but one that nevertheless has qualities and design strategies that environmentally responsible buildings today could well learn from.”
