Unbuilt Design Awards Call for Entries

AIA East Bay proudly announces its Call for Entries for Above & Beyond: 2009 Unbuilt Design Awards.

This program encourages submittals by students, recent graduates, and artists--in addition to architects and design professionals. It was developed in response to the 2009 economic climate to recognize work that is "on the boards" and highlight design excellence. In the spirit of the program's intent, registration fees are kept low.

The jury is impressive:

Under his leadership, the studio has produced an award-winning portfolio in campus master planning, new community planning, urban mixed-use development and urban revitalization here and in Asia . As evidence of their success, all of AC Martin's master plans have been approved by their respective communities and institutions and guide the architectural design that follows.
