8th Annual Larry Reich Award
| October 26, 2004 |
Klaus Philipsen, AIA was awarded the 8th Annual Larry Reich Award at Neighborhood Design Center's 36th Anniversary Gala.
The Larry Reich Award, co-sponsored by NDC and the Baltimore City Department of Planning, is given annually to an individual whose volunteer and professional work exemplifies a special commitment to community-based planning and design. The Award was established by colleagues of long-time Baltimore City Planning Director Larry Reich to commemmorate his pioneering concern for "bottom-up" inclusion of grassroots groups in neighborhood initiatives. Larry Reich was planning director from 1965-1990 and was a central figure in the City's Downtown Renaissance.
The award was presented by Mark Cameron, Executive Director of NDC, and Otis Rolley, current Baltimore City Planning Director. Past recipients are Ellen Janes, Shirl Byron, Karen Lewand, Carolyn Boitnott, Chris Ryer, Jelili Ogundele & Maria Johnson, and Charles Duff.
