Each year, AIA Pittsburgh hosts the Design Awards - a juried design competition open to AIA members and firms whose principal(s) are members of AIA Pittsburgh or any chapter across the country who has a project in the 11 county area represented by AIA Pittsburgh. The mission of the awards is to recognize and honor architects and designers, and promote excellence, innovation, and achievement in the craft of architecture.
