We will be offering a student design award.

Our jurors this year are Christopher Hawthorne, Chief Design Officer of the City of Los Angeles, John Margolis, AIA of Appleton Partners, and Margot McDonald professor at CalPoly and Architecture Department Head.

We have invited the jurors to attend the Gala, and comment on the 24 winning projects.

The purpose of the Design Awards is to recognize and honor excellence in architecture within our local built environment and by AIA Santa Barbara architects beyond our region.

The AIA Santa Barbara Design Awards draws attention to the extraordinary legacy of great architecture in Santa Barbara and California, and the value of well-designed architecture to every member of our community.
