18 REFLEXION | 2021-22 | AIA Utah In celebration of its 100th anniversary this year, the American Institute of Architects Utah Chapter conducted a poll in October to determine which Utah buildings respondents consider the best in the state. Through this poll, AIA seeks to remember the last 100 years of great architecture in Utah as we prepare to look forward to the next 100 years. Distributed entirely through electronic and social media, the poll was open to everyone who wanted to reply. Four hundred twenty-five people responded. The poll asked if the person participating “was studying architecture or was a member of the architectural industry.” Thirty-nine point one percent answered no, 60.9% answered yes. Phil Haderlie, AIA, current president of AIA Utah, was very pleased with the results, exclaiming, “The number of responses is pretty amazing, especially among people outside our profession, we are grateful for the interest in Utah’s great buildings and architects.” Based on input from the public and Utah’s Architectural community, AIA Utah’s “100 Buildings Taskforce,” led by Steven Cornell, categorized one hundred Utah buildings into 10 categories. The top vote-getters were: 1. Best Rural Building — Bryce Canyon Lodge; Designed by Gilbert Stanley Underwood. Built in 1924. 2. Best Residence — McCune Mansion; Architect: S.C. Dallas. Built in 1900. 100 Best Buildings in Utah
