2011 Design Awards ALERT!!

Just as many of you are adapting and retooling your practice as a result of the prolonged ‘Great Recession’ (which all agree is not really that great), so too is the San Diego Chapter of the AIA.

To best serve the mission of the organization and more importantly its membership, each and every single program and event is being examined to ensure resources and energy are being utilized to their greatest effect.  Acknowledging the dearth of built work in the past several years, this seemed like a good time to take a break from the Design Awards, as we know it, to explore fresh ideas for a reinvigorated program in 2012.  

While the “traditional” Design Awards are on hiatus, several of the specialty and sponsored awards will still be presented this year, such as the Savings By Design Energy Efficiency Award, HOTY (House of the Year) Award and a new Savings By Design Award.  Additionally, the chapter’s Urban Design Committee (UDC) will host an award. 

If you are interested in getting more info on this year's awards and programs, please email AIA San Diego’s Programs Department, at Programs@AIASanDiego.org and we will get back to you promptly!
