DESIGN PITTSBURGH 2008
CALL FOR ENTRIES!

THE DESIGN PITTSBURGH COMMITTEE invites your participation in the 2008 DESIGN AWARDS COMPETITION. Our mission is to recognize and promote excellence in the craft of architecture and landscape architecture, as created by the members of The American Institute of Architects and The American Society of Landscape Architects Western Section PA/DE Chapter. In keeping with that mission, we offer several categories that recognize excellence in different aspects of design. The Green Design Citation is a special award for Architectural and Interior Architecture Award Entries that excel in green design.


NEW THIS YEAR - DIGITAL SUBMISSIONS!
In a continued effort to streamline processes and cut down on waste, AIA Pittsburgh introduces digital submissions for 2008! You can now download the submission kit request directly from this page, as well as each category's submission criteria. To learn more about the digital submission process, read over the instructions on the main Design Pittsburgh webpage.

As in the past, every project submitted will be eligible for exhibition. Don’t miss the Design Pittsburgh Gala downtown in the Cultural District! The announcement of the winners of the Silver Medal, Honor Award(s), Certificate(s) of Merit, Green Design Citation(s), Award(s) of Excellence and the Landscape Architecture Awards will be made at the AIA Pittsburgh Design Awards Ceremony.

The Design Awards entries will not be judged in competition with each other, but rather by measuring the architect’s performance against each project’s potential. Thus, projects of ordinary program or modest budget can merit an award based on the architect or landscape architect's skill in optimizing the design opportunity. Architectural submissions and landscape architectural submissions will be judged in their own categories:
