First BM&PIU Architectural Award
The Bricklayers, Masons & Plasterers International Union has presented its first Thomas Jefferson Award for Architecture to Ulrich Franzen, FAIA. The award was presented to the New York architect for "outstanding architectural design in keeping with the ideals of statesman-architect Thomas Jefferson."
Franzen accepted the award and its accompanying $5,000 prize at the BM&PIU's biennial convention held in Washington, D.C. in September. The award will be a regular feature of the union's future conventions.
The BM&PIU established the award to give evidence of its concern about the need to improve the American environment, and to recognize outstanding architects whose work has contributed importantly to that environment. "By naming the award for Jefferson," said BM&PIU President Thomas F. Murphy, "the Executive Board was not recognizing a particular type or style of architecture. As an architect, Jefferson was an innovator. He eagerly sought and used new ideas and methods. Therefore, the award named for him most appropriately will go to architects who advance the art and science of environmental design as he did."
Franzen described today's cities as being filled with "incredible monotony" and "technical clutter." They are, he said, settings "without choice, surrounded by man-made, junk-environment that is without scale and love." Modern architecture and planning, he added, "have not seen man and the quality of life as the central problem."

The building needs of the next 30 years, Franzen said, will create productivity demands "so staggering that entirely new concepts of working will be developed." Creation of an all-weather building site, he stated, is of "first priority." Also, he added, development of an on-site pre-fabrication of brick and block panels is another "urgent step forward."
A declaration of solidarity was posted on the notice board of a Hungarian factory. It said: "In time of need we will march forward to defend world socialism," and it was signed by the trade union committee.
Next morning another notice was pinned beneath it: "Goodbye and good luck. (Signed) The Workers."
