The prestigious Architectural Digest magazine has announced that the City of Kerrville has won its 2010 award for Most Innovative Urban Structure for the Pavilion on The Boardwalk On The Guadalupe in downtown Kerrville.
“We didn’t even know it was submitted as an entry,” said a city staffer.
The judges cited the structure for its “feathery etherealness” that “captured the spirit of potential, unrealized fulfillment, and yearning for flight.”
“We have never seen a city be so bold with its downtown planning and vision,” the report said. “It looks almost unfinished.”
The award comes with a plaque designed to be displayed on the winning structure. The city has indicated it will delay displaying the plaque, as there is not enough actual structure to attach it to.
As a result of this award, city officials are considering entering the former hospital in next year’s competition.
