Davis Museum Wins
2000 Harleston Parker Medal
|
|
From a
field of 50 candidates, the 2000 Harleston Parker
Committee of the Boston Society of Architects with
the AIA and the City of Boston recently
recommended the Davis Museum at Wellesley College
as the 2000 Harleston Parker Medal winner. The
building was design by Rafael Moneo and Payette
Associates Architects, and Richard White Sons was
the construction manager.
As
reported by the BSA, the Harleston Parker Medal
was established in 1921 by J. Harleston Parker to
recognize "the most beautiful piece of
architecture, building, monument, or structure".

Richard
White Sons was construction manager for two of the
three finalists from which Davis was chosen. The
other two finalists were Nicholas Athletic Center
at Buckingham Browne and Nichols School
and the
Deer Island MWRA Waste Water Treatment Facility.
This is
the second Harleston Parker Medal award for a
Richard White Sons-built project, the other being
the Corpus Christi Church, Auburndale, MA designed
by
Richard Shaw.
The jury
said, "The Davis Art Museum emerged as the clear
choice. The jury appreciated witnessing the "hand
of a master" at work in this building's high level
of
|
|
|
resolution and rigor, as well as its carefully
studied and executed simplicity."
