Meet the 2027 Jury!

As a reminder, entry is prohibited by jury members and their employees. If any member of the 2027 jury, or members of their firm or organization, are or were part of a project's professional team or a participant in its implementation process, that project is ineligible for entry this year. Academic applications in which work was completed in a studio course taught or advised by a jury member are permitted, with such juror recusing him/herself from judging the application.

Jeremy Lake, Jury Chair

Principal at Union Studio Architecture and Community Design

Jeremy is a Principal at Union Studio Architecture and Community Design who brings over 20 years of experience working on a wide range of architecture and community design projects throughout the country. He is a registered architect, but his real specialty is working on neighborhood-scale projects, both designing new communities and helping revitalize existing ones. His passion is applying time-tested design principles to new projects to help them seamlessly connect to their existing surroundings while also fostering a sense of community between residents new and old. He designs and manages projects for both public entities and private developers and enjoys the challenge of finding simple design solutions that integrate a complex set of seemingly competing issues into a cohesive vision. Jeremy is known for bringing an open mind, sense of humor, and collaborative spirit to every project he works on. He is an active member of the Congress for the New Urbanism, including being a regular at their annual Congress and serving on the local host committee for CNU33 in Providence.
