The categories for the 2017 Masonry Excellence Awards Program will follow the same format as last year, as part of our partnership with the AIA of Florida, we are awarding honors in three main categories:

Block and Stucco
Architectural Units

Each category is represented well in the construction industry in Florida, from traditional Mediterranean stucco and block, exposed ground face and split face architectural units to traditional brick and block cavity wall construction.

An overall winner from each of the main categories, as well as one Project of the Year will be featured in a supplemental publication going to all 4400 AIA Florida member architects in the state.

Deadline for entries is July 1, 2017. Please submit your entry online at: www.masonryawards.com

t took a team of IMI-led BAC masons to lend a hand in unraveling a centuries-old “Great Cathedral Mystery”, the title of a soon-to-be-aired edition of the PBS series, NOVA, on Wednesday, Feb. 12th. The show chronicles the efforts of five BAC bricklayers who traveled to Florence, Italy at the invitation of National Geographic to reconstruct a replica of the city's famed Duomo, the world's largest masonry dome. The objective: to shed light on how the original might have been constructed, a process that has baffled building professionals and enthusiasts since it was completed nearly 600 years ago.

The team, comprised of IMI national, regional, and local training staff including Bob Arnold (21 IL), Dave Wysocki (21 IL), Don Hunt (15 MO/KS), Tom Ward (2 MI), and National Job Corps Director Jonas Elmore (4 IN/KY), all traveled to Florence at the expense of National Geographic and Camera One Productions.
