The American Institute of Architects (AIA) is recognizing exceptional designs with its 2021 Small Project Awards. Complete details for each of the awarded projects can be reviewed on AIA’s website.
Now in its 18th year, the AIA Small Project Awards program—established by the Small Project Design (SPD) Knowledge Community—recognizes small-project practitioners for the high quality of their work.
