I'm super busy this weekend with work commitments, so I was happy to hear good news I can share for this week’s blog post: as reported by AIA Eugene, local firm Campfire Collaborative received the 2020 AIA Northwest & Pacific Region Emerging Firm Award! AIA NW+PR bestowed the award during its virtual 2020 Region Awards event this past Thursday evening.
Campfire co-owner Jenna Fribley, AIA likewise announced the selection on her firm’s Facebook page:
“We are so humbled, honored, and ecstatic to have received the AIA Northwest & Pacific Region Emerging Firms Award last night!!!! It’s still hard to believe that our little firm in Springfield was chosen for this award from a field of candidates across Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, Hawaii, and Guam/Micronesia.
“A lot of our work focuses on revitalization within our community, and while we have an awesome design team, our efforts wouldn’t be possible without the amazing partnerships and support from our clients, colleagues, the city, and local developers. We’re also lucky to be part of an amazing community of design professionals with at active AIA presence and the architecture program at the University of Oregon.
Thanks everyone!!!!”
As the AIANW+PR website states, the Emerging Firm Award seeks to recognize new practices that are challenging traditional perceptions and methods of architecture. For sure, Campfire Collaborative is increasingly making its mark on the local architectural scene, especially in Springfield, where the firm’s office is located.
Congratulations to Jenna, co-owner Kelsey Buzzell, and the entire Campfire Collaborative team!
