AIA announces Small Project Award recipients

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.

Category 1 - Small project construction, an architectural object, work of environmental art or an architectural design element that costs up to $150,000 in construction.
Category 2 - Small project construction that could cost up to $1,500,000 in construction.
Category 3 - Small project construction, an architectural object, work of environmental art or an architectural design that is under 5,000 square feet.
