Every year AIA Philadelphia presents a number of awards honoring the individuals that help shape our organization in addition to celebrating the esteemed firm winners of our annual Design Awards competition. These awards are about more than just a ceremony, they are a way for AIA Philadelphia to recognize the individuals and firms that create the legacy of excellence in design and toast the future of the architecture profession in Philadelphia.
This year we are excited to gather in person at The Fillmore on Thursday, December 8, 2022.
We hope you will join us in our annual celebration of design.
