Stevenson Takes Home Prestigious Award
November 8 - At the annual awards ceremony for the Society for Building Planning and Design (SBPD) on November 5, architect Alejandro Stevenson was honored for his exceptional contributions to the field.
Stevenson has accomplished a great deal in his relatively short career. After completing a degree from Montgomery University in 2005 he was hired by Keenan & Lusk. During his tenure there, he further developed his craft under the direction of Scott Powell, who was instrumental in bringing Stevenson's talent to light. Five years ago, Stevenson left Keenan & Lusk and stopped working for medical reasons. However, he returned to the industry two years later and founded his own practice-Astev, Inc. His first two buildings, the Flynn Fashion Institute and the Terrell Finance Center, received critical acclaim. These achievements launched him into the public eye, and he was soon commissioned for what became his most remarkable work to date- the majestic Straford Opera Hall. Construction of the hall was completed on May 18 of this year, and the grand opening of the building was held on May 21.
Following the success of the Straford Opera Hall, Stevenson was asked by reporter Isaac Perkins, from the magazine, Beyond Design, how he was handling his rapid rise to fame. According to the article, he responded with his usual modesty. "The fame belongs to the buildings," he said. "I am merely the path through which they are brought to life."
Stevenson's next building project is yet to be determined, but he has announced plans for a book of photographs highlighting what he regards as the most inspirational and influential structures in the country.

To Whom It May Concern:
I saw your November 16 job posting on Artists Network for a lead photographer for Mr. Stevenson's upcoming book. Attached you will find my résumé and a collection of my best photographs. I think you will agree that I have an extensive technical background in this particular field as well as an ability to capture the essence of the building without any words.
I actually had the opportunity to meet Mr. Stevenson at the grand opening gala for the Straford Opera Hall. I was moved by his passion for his work, and it would be an honor to collaborate with him on this project. Thank you for your consideration.
