The Albuquerque Chapter of the American Institute of Architects Awards Program recognizes achievements for a broad range of architectural activity to elevate the general quality of architecture practice, establish a standard of excellence against which all architects can measure performance and inform the public of the breadth and value of architecture practice. The AIA ABQ Design Awards Program recognizes excellence in the categories of: General Design, Historic Restoration, Remodel and Adaptive Reuse, Residential, Interior Architecture, Small Architectural Project, Urban Design/Master Planning, Unbuilt Project and 25/50-Year Architecture. The program not only demonstrates the value of good design, but also illustrates the wide variety of services performed by architects. It is conducted independently of other awards programs sponsored by the AIA National and other AIA components.

Note that additional consideration given to responses to the AIA's Framework for Design Excellence measures.  The purpose of the Framework is to highlight climate action as a critically urgent topic for society, and the role architects play as influencers for impactful change. The Framework will help facilitate conversations with clients and the communities we serve and set meaningful goals and targeted outcomes.
