As the 6th oldest chapter of the American Institute of Architects, AIA Baltimore celebrates its 150th birthday in 2021! Join us in celebrating this milestone with the architectural and design community at the 2021 AIA Baltimore & BAF Excellence in Design Awards. The Excellence in Design Awards promotes AIA Baltimore architects, as well as project contractors, consultants, and owners and recognizes Baltimore Architecture Foundation Golden Griffin and Roger Redden Award recipients who have contributed significantly to Baltimore’s built environment.
Enjoy networking with fellow professionals in the field and see the Baltimore Center for Architecture and Design, the new home of AIA Baltimore and The Baltimore Architecture Foundation, along with other professional design organizations. This event will feature delicious local fare and open bar highlighting the best of Baltimore’s culinary and craft beverages.
Tour of The Center: Starting at 5pm
Live Music: Enjoy LIVE music by our very own allied professional from APCO signage, Marie White, by her band REMEDY, specializing in classic rock covers from the 60’s-70’s.
A Special Cause: Join us in celebrating the life of late AIA Baltimore member and CANStruction advocate Ken Dill, by bringing canned foods for our Food Drive.
See The Center: This event gives attendees a unique opportunity to mingle and network while being one of the first to explore our recently opened Baltimore Center for Architecture and Design. The Center for Architecture and Design serves as a high-profile, visible space to showcase the important role of architectural practice and design, and as a dynamic hub to engage professionals, students, and the public. Shared exhibition and gallery spaces, and event spaces will offer engaging new programming on architecture, urban design, neighborhood history, historic architecture and new design projects, and the role of design in shaping the city’s future.
