Paying tribute to the integration of commissioned art with architecture, interiors, and landscapes has been the mission of the CODAawards ever since CODAworx<\/a>, a Wisconsin organization founded as the Collaboration of Design + Art, asked Interior Design<\/em> editor in chief Cindy Allen to serve on the inaugural jury. This year, she was joined by 18 other experts, including Interior Design<\/em> Hall of Fame members Jamie Drake<\/a> and Debra Lehman Smith<\/a>, Gensler<\/a> principal and design director Ed Wood<\/a>, Museum of Arts and Design<\/a> director Glenn Adamson<\/a>, and CODAworx senior adviser Ilene Shaw. The team reviewed 300-plus projects from 18 countries, across 10 categories: commercial, educational, health care, hospitality, institutional, landscape, liturgical, public space, residential, and transportation. Two People’s Choice awards, selected by an online public vote, rounded out the mix.
