2023 AIA Greenville Awards Now Open!
AIA Greenville has a long-standing tradition of recognizing individuals, organizations, and projects that exemplify the values of Greenville architects and improve the quality of life in the communities we serve. The Design Awards seeks to highlight the diverse range of project types produced by AIAG members to elevate the general quality of architectural practice, establish a standard of excellence against which all architects can measure performance, and inform the public of the importance of design. It is with this intent that we establish the following awards:
I. Design Awards - Professional
- New Construction Award Residential Award
- Adaptive Reuse/Historic Preservation Award
- Interior Architecture Award
- Unbuilt Project Award
- Small Project Award
- Humanitarian Impact Commendation
- People's Choice Commendation
II. Design Awards - Student
- Student Project Award
III. Service Awards
- James A. Neal Distinguished Service Award
- Community Patron Award
- Emerging Professional/Young Architect Award
Framework for Design Excellence
In response to AIA’s commitment to climate action, AIA Greenville has incorporated sustainability measures from the AIA COTE Top 10 Toolkit – now the Framework for Design Excellence – into the judging criteria for Professional Design Awards. Submissions are required to address one or more of the ten measures included in the Framework:
- Design for Integration
- Design for Equitable Communities
- Design for Ecosystems
- Design for Water
- Design for Economy
- Design for Energy
- Design for Well-being
- Design for Resources
- Design for Change
- Design for Discovery
On the submission form, you will see open-ended prompts to briefly describe how your design achieves outcomes for these measures. Please address at least one measure, but we encourage you to address any measures that are relevant to your project. The goal of including the Framework of Excellence is to promote the sustainable design work of our members and to support AIA’s Resolution for Urgent and Sustained Climate Action.
