Archimania is a collective of

FAIA,[1] and Barry Alan Yoakum, FAIA.[2]

Archimania was ranked 8th in design in the United States, according to Architect Magazine's annual Top 50 ranking in 2017.[3] They work to advance progressive architecture within and beyond their Southern region,[4] viewing each project as an opportunity to lead their community's understanding of the built environment and the value of thoughtful design.[5] They attribute much of their success in design to starting each project with a "visioning charrette" process that helps to begin the important partnership between client and architect.[6]

Honors and awards

The design collective has garnered more than 160 AIA awards, dominating recent local and statewide architecture awards' programs.[7][8][4] They won the architectural design competition[9] for Conservation Hall at the Tennessee Governor's Mansion,[10] and Architectural Digest recognized this project as one of "10 Amazing Examples of Subterranean Architecture."[11]

Archimania's design for Memphis Teacher Residency has received a Chicago Athenaeum, American Architecture Award,[12] an AIA/CAE Education Facility Design Award,[13] an Architizer A+ Special Mention,[14] and an Architect's Newspaper, 2017 Best of Interior - Workplace Design Award.[15] Other Archimania projects receiving Chicago Athenaeum, American Architecture Awards include Woodard Residence and Redeemer Presbyterian Church.[16] Archimania's design for Ballet Memphis also received an AIA/CAE Education Facility Design Award,[17] as well as a Metal Architecture Design Award for Natural Metals,[18] and was an Architizer A+ Awards Finalist.[19]

Two of Archimania's projects, Garden Chapel Pavilion and Redeemer Presbyterian Church, won International AIA Religious Art and Architecture Design Awards/IFRAA, with one being an Honor Award.[20] Garden Chapel Pavilion was recognized as a 2018 World Architecture News (WAN) award finalist; Hattiloo Theatre and Memphis Botanic Garden - Live at the Garden were recognized as 2016 World Architecture News award finalists.[21]

Leaders in sustainability

Archimania designed the state of Tennessee's first Net-Zero building, a $3.2 Million welcome centre that opened in July 2017.[22] The collective is designing a net-zero office by retrofitting two mid-century office buildings. Construction has also begun on a net-zero case study house called civitas, which has been instrumental in allowing the Archimania team to demonstrate to clients their knowledge about net-zero, and its viability in Memphis.[23]

Archimania designed the first
