BOSTON— Women in Design (WiD), a Boston Society for Architecture Knowledge Community, announced the winners of the 25th annual WiD Award of Excellence. The 2024 winners are Aisha Densmore-Bey, DDES, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP, and Elizabeth Lowrey, FIIDA, RDI.
Presented by WiD and the Women Principals Group, the peer-nominated WiD Award of Excellence is presented in recognition of individuals who have built their life around design, whose work exemplifies the best of process and product, and who uses their position of achievement to give back to the world of design and to the community at large.
“Aisha and Elizabeth are both pillars of the New England design community and recognized nationally for their work. Their dedication to championing innovation in the built environment and lifting up those around them is unmatched,” said Mary McCarthy AIA, co-chair of Women in Design. “We could not be prouder to have them represent the 25th annual WiD Award of Excellence and join the ranks of the talented, dedicated and collaborative women that have come before them.”
Dr. Aisha Densmore-Bey has devoted her career to enhancing access to and visibility of the design professions. As a multi-hyphenate creative, she combines artistry with advocacy, actively creating change, making sure to bring others along.
Elizabeth Lowrey has devoted her life’s work to designing inspiring and beautiful interiors where people build community, create, and innovate. Rooted in her parents’ activism, her conviction that we are “better together” guides every project she leads.
Ms. Densmore-Bey and Ms. Lowrey will be celebrated at an awards ceremony on December 4, 2024 from 5:30pm to 8:00pm in the BSA Space at 290 Congress Street in Boston.
