The American Institute of Architects San Diego is pleased to announce the launch of two major initiatives. To further engage AIA San Diego’s members with the general public, these events will highlight the architecture and design community’s up-and-coming talent as well as recognize leading industry vendors. 2013 AIA San Diego Design Awards Since 1960, the AIA Chapter has recognized great design and talented designers in San Diego County. This year’s Design Awards are scheduled on Thursday, November 7 at the NOAA/Southwest Fisheries Science Center, a superb newly opened research center on La Jolla Shores Drive (a previous DA winner as a not-yet-built project). Among the innovations at this year’s event are two new special recognition awards; Patron of the Year and Outstanding Project – Metropolitan Tijuana.
