Joint Reception—Summer Exhibitions

Join us to celebrate not one but two summer exhibitions! Explore award-winning projects and marvel at the craft of model making. Mix, mingle, and toast over refreshments with exhibitions in both galleries.

 

2023 Awards Show

The 2023 Awards Show combines award-winning projects from two of AIA|DC’s largest competitions: Chapter Design Awards and Washingtonian Residential Design Awards. Each year, our competitions recognize practitioners who demonstrate excellence in design. Projects are selected by distinguished juries of design professionals based outside of the Washington metropolitan region.

 

Small Objects, Big Ideas: The Architect’s Model

Models play an important role in the creative and technical development of projects. They link design intent and building execution. Models are life-size buildings in miniature! This exhibition celebrates the architectural model as a tested instrument in the design process. From education to practice, these small informative objects offer big, exciting ideas.


Organized by AIA|DC and the Washington Architectural Foundation.
