On January 20, 2021 AIAS and AIA Eugene hosted the annual Reverse Crit Professional Pin-Up - a yearly tradition where AIA firms showcase their current or recent projects to UO students. Pin-up style consists of working drawings and imagery, allowing students to get an ‘inside look’ into the professional workings and resolutions to architectural issues. There was good attendance, and active participation from the students, despite having to switch to a virtual format this year.

After the presentation, attending students voted for their favorite presentations according to AIAS Design Categories, and winning firms received specially crafted 2021 AIAS Awards.
