AIA North Carolina and the North Carolina Architectural Foundation

Kamphoefner Prize

Established by Henry and Mabel Kamphoefner, the Kamphoefner Prize encourages individuals and firms to pursue the fundamental principles of the modern movement in architecture. The $10,000 prize is awarded annually at the Summer Design Conference as funds permit.

Eligibility

A member or firm of the North Carolina Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, that can demonstrate a sustained dedication to architectural practice and the “Modern Movement in Architecture” for a period of at least ten years. This is best understood by reading the words written by Henry Kamphoefner for the award certificate:

“The selection committee for this award believes that the chosen architect has demonstrated a consistent integrity and devotion over an acceptable period of time to further the development of the modern movement in architecture without yielding to any of the undesirable current cliches, neomodernistic mannerisms or artless historicism that have flawed the building culture of today.” Henry Kamphoefner
