The American Institute of Architects' Washington chapter recognized Seattle architect Walter Schacht with its Jennie Sue Brown Award for advocating on statewide issues that impact the practice of architecture.
This lifetime achievement award is the AIA Washington Council's highest honor.
In a press release, Mike Slater, the council's immediate past-president, called Schacht “a champion of legislative victories in Olympia.”
Schacht has practiced architecture for almost 30 years, focusing on cultural, educational and civic projects. He has been a principal in Seattle-based Schacht Aslani Architects since 1996. He is an American Institute of Architects fellow, was AIA Seattle president in 2006–07 and received its community service award this year.
Schacht has been on the state Capital Projects Advisory Review Board since 2011, and chairs the design build best practices committee. He is chair of the Washington Architects & Engineers Legislative Council and held positions on the AIA Washington Council.
