AIA|LA Announces 2015 Design Award Winners!

AIA|LA Announces 2015 Design Award Winners!

Los Angeles, CA – October 30, 2015 – The American Institute of Architects Los Angeles (AIA|LA) announced the winners of its prestigious 2015 Design Awards program Thursday night, October 29, 2015, at an event celebrating recipients.

Selected by a jury of noted architects from across the United States, the AIA|LA Design Awards recognize design excellence in some of the most exemplary built work in the country at this time.

“The competition is tremendous which is exactly what we are looking for to raise the bar for the profession,” noted the 2015 AIA|LA Design Awards jury. “Los Angeles is raising the bar for the rest of the country.”

Winners of the competition’s counterpart, the AIA|LA Next LA awards, bestowed on as yet unbuilt commissions, were also announced. A jury of experts residing in Los Angeles, a city that is seeing its dream of true urban living realized, noted the many interesting strategies used to create more connection and engagement on an urban level in a number of winning submissions.

2015 AIA|LA Presidential Honorees as previously announced by the AIA|LA were also bestowed. Names of Presidential Honorees follow Design Award and Next LA award recipients in this story.

By setting the 2015 AIA|LA Design Awards Ceremony + Party in two downtown locations, the evening both honored and embodied a burgeoning focus on placemaking at the heart of Los Angeles. Well over six hundred attendees gathered at the Aratani Theatre in the Japanese American Cultural & Community Center in Little Tokyo for a pre-event reception and ceremony. Winners, Presidential Honorees, and Design Award attendees then moved to the A+D Museum, in the Arts District, for an après-party which included buffet dinner.

Design Award and Next LA awards are given in three classifications: Honor, Merit and Citation, with Honor being the highest category.

Completed projects, located anywhere, that are designed by AIA members from firms based in the LA area, and architecture constructed in Los Angeles by any AIA member, no matter their base of operations, are eligible for submission for Design Awards.
