Design Pittsburgh is a signature program of AIA Pittsburgh – a Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, and a celebration of architecture and design, honoring those who create it.
Each year, AIA Pittsburgh hosts the Design Awards which are judged by an out of town jury and open to any member of AIA Pittsburgh, AIA Middle Pennsylvania or any member of any AIA chapter across the country who has a project in the 22-county area represented by AIA Pittsburgh and AIA Middle Pennsylvania. The mission of these awards is to recognize and promote excellence in the craft of architecture, as created by the members of AIA. This year, awards were given in five categories: Architectural Detail / Craftsmanship, Open Plan, Regional and Urban Design, Timeless, and Architecture.
