AIA California recognizes firms and architecture students in 2023 Urban Design Awards

The AIA California continues to highlight work that promotes architectural excellence with projects that focus on progressive changes in urban design, sustainability, and architectural design. The organization announces recipients of the 2023 Urban Design Awards and AIA California's inaugural Student category announcement. Projects were awarded for their "excellence in the creation, improvement, and sustainability of the physical environment by architects and landscape architects as embodied in master planning, landscape architecture, and conceptual architectural design." The launch of the awards student category highlights three student winners. In total, 50 architecture students and recent graduates participated in the competition. AIA California President Scott Gaudineer commented on this year's student category stating, "The caliber of work by the awarded students demonstrates the validity and vitality of creating this category. These student-designed projects address contemporary urban design challenges with solutions offering the quality and complexity required to realize their thoughtful ideas,” continued Gaudineer. Gaudineer first joined the AIA as a student member and has continued his participation in the organization ever since."FIRM WINNERS - Honor AwardsSan Francisco Civic Center Public Realm Plan (San Francisco, California)By CMG Landscape Architects with Kennerly Architecture & PlanningRead the full post on Bustler
