THE JEFF HARNAR AWARD FOR CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE was created by Garrett Thornburg in 2007 to honor the memory of Jeff Harnar and help continue his groundbreaking work in the area of contemporary design.
In 2018, the Jeff Harnar Award has been expanded to include THE JEFF HARNAR AWARD FOR UNBUILT WORK, in the categories of Architecture and Landscape Architecture.
By promoting contemporary design and encouraging the process of designing new forms while integrating them with nature, we can expand a dialogue about the progression of architectural thought and its contribution to a better built environment.
