AIA Oregon Architecture Awards

Oregon's premiere annual architecture event, the Oregon Architecture Awards, celebrates outstanding design as a nationally renowned jury recognizes architects, their clients, industry partners and communities for achieving design excellence locally and globally.

Previously known as the Portland Architecture Awards, the name was changed after the Oregon chapters merged into one chapter to form the Oregon Architecture Awards. The Architecture Awards Committee emphasizes that all entrants have an equal chance for recognition, regardless of project scale, budget, type or location.
