The AIA International Design Awards Program aims to share the importance of architecture and of the role of architects to design for people and planet, towards a future of health, inclusivity, and stewardship. Entries will be judged on how successfully the design addresses individual project program requirements, the successful integration of the solution within its context, and its worthiness for an award in design excellence. Every year has featured a specially assembled jury of three internationally renowned architects and designers to preside over the awards.
This year’s jury consist of:
· Marcio Kogan, Hon FAIA
· Britt A. Lindberg, FAIA
· Brian Girard, AIA RIBA
