Boston, MA,– Residential Architect Magazine, a magazine of the American Institute of Architects, selected David Dixon, FAIA, Principal-in-Charge of Goody Clancy’s Planning and Urban Design Practice, for the publication’s highest individual honor, the Hall of Fame Award. The award recognizes Dixon’s contributions in planning and improving communities across the United States, and for his leadership role as an educator, author, volunteer and urban visionary.
Dixon’s work across the United States has won national acclaim including awards from the AIA, the American Planning Association (APA), the American Society of Landscape Architects, the Congress for the New Urbanism, the International Downtown Association and the Society for College and University Planning. The AIA awarded him the 2007 Thomas Jefferson Award for career-long achievements in “creating liveable neighborhoods, vibrant civic spaces, and vital downtowns.” Residential Architect’s editors cited Dixon’s role as chairman of the American Institute of Architect’s (AIA) Regional and Urban Design Committee, where he spearheaded the AIA’s response to Hurricane Katrina and led a broad effort to help rethink and rebuild New Orleans in its aftermath.
“This award means a lot to me,” said Dixon. “Residential Architects’ editors did not just recognize me, but also the value of community-based planning and urban design to create a new generation of diverse, livable, sustainable urban neighborhoods.”
