Professor of Architecture Dana Gulling’s most recent book, Custom Components in Architecture: Strategies for Customizing Repetitive Manufacturing, recently won the 2025 Building Technology Educators’ Society (BTES) Book Award. The BTES Book Award recognizes an outstanding new book on the topic of building technologies that significantly contributes to building technology education in architecture. Gulling will be recognized at the annual conference in Chicago this June.
Jurors consider submissions that clearly and effectively communicate building technology issues for architecture and engineering professionals, scholars, and students.
Custom Components in Architecture shares 36 case studies from around the globe that demonstrate the diversity of custom repetitive manufacturing in architecture. The book is organized by manufacturing process and covers the use of various types of glass, clay, plastic, metal, wood, plaster, and concrete. Gulling’s other book, Manufacturing Architecture: An Architect’s Guide to Custom Processes, Materials, and Applications, won the award in 2019.
As part of her award, Gulling will serve as a juror on next year’s award panel, and will receive a stipend and attendance to the BTES Conference in June 2025.
