In conjunction with the Tucker Design Awards, BSI recognized Peter Walker, FASLA, as its 2014 Bybee Prize winner. Given in honor of the late James Daniel Bybee, a respected and long-standing member of the Building Stone Institute, the accolade is awarded to an individual architect or landscape architect for a body of work executed over time.
