This award recognizes a firm that has consistently produced distinguished architecture over a period of at least ten years. His graphic designs and renderings have been displayed in more than a hundred exhibitions and have received over 65 awards of merit. He has delivered lectures to universities, museums, and special interest groups throughout the United States and, in l977, was honored with an appointment as Visiting Professor of Design at the School of Architecture at the University of Virginia.

Mr. Abbott's expertise has been expressed in a wealth of applications encompassing urban planning, landscape architecture, architecture, sculpture, and graphic arts. As a master of many medias, he has innovated techniques in the use and application of pastel, pencil, ink, watercolor, and mixed media. In l983, he was elected to the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects.
