The George Matsumoto Prize
Recognizing Excellence in North Carolina Modernist Residential Design
The George Matsumoto Prize for North Carolina Modernist residential architecture
is a unique design competition featuring
$6,000 in awards, a blue-ribbon jury of internationally known architects,
and online public voting.
In the first year the Prize was offered, 2012, over 2,000 people voted
worldwide.
The Matsumoto Prize was created by TMH in honor of
George Matsumoto
FAIA. Matsumoto was one of the founding faculty members of the NCSU
School of Design and created some of the state's most well-known and
well-loved Modernist houses.
Architecture is art, but the general public hasn't caught on to that
in large numbers. The
Matsumoto Prize encourages the public to appreciate architecture as
an art form, and it encourages young architects to continue the
Modernist movement in houses so important to North Carolina and the
arts.
Most people don't realize, or even
suspect that North Carolina is the
third largest concentration of Modernist houses in America.
The Prize promotes new talent and provides a motivating incentive to
young architects to keep the Modernist movement alive and thriving.
The Prize contributes to wide public recognition of Modernism in all its forms
(architecture, art, furniture, and fashion) and recognizes the
significant economic and aesthetic impact of Modernist architecture
and architects across our state.
The Prize is unique.
It the only juried
architecture competition in North Carolina (and one of very few in
the country) that a) focuses on houses, b) focuses on Modernism, c)
provides financial awards, d) involves a national jury and public
voting, and e) connects to a major architectural archive.
The Prize is a powerful way to engage the public and
demonstrate the unique talent of outstanding Modernist architects
and houses in North Carolina and across America.
