AIA San Diego Accepting Entries for 2005 Design AwardsThe American Institute of Architects San Diego Chapter will be accepting entries for the annual 2005 Design Awards between Jan. 28 and March 25.
AIA said the program not only acknowledges outstanding architecture, but also serves to elevate the standards of good design, as well as inspire, educate and influence the architectural community. The competition is open to any licensed architect, or their firms, located in San Diego County, regardless of project location. AIA membership is not a prerequisite.
Award categories include residential, commercial, un-built, interiors, institutional, historic preservation, mixed-use, urban solutions and a special category, the divine detail. This last category refers to isolated architectural details worthy of consideration all by themselves for their unique, ingenious and/or graceful elements. It is an opportunity for established or emerging architects to display their talent on a smaller scale.
The program, instituted in 1960 as the "Honor Awards Program," was initially held on a bi-annual basis and became an annual event in 1982 in response to increased participation, growing AIA visibility and heightened design awareness. In association with SDG&E's "Savings By Design" program, participants may also submit their projects for the Energy Efficiency Integration Award. This category
