2020 Design Awards Planning

The AIA Oregon Board of Directors accepted the recommendations from the Design Awards Task Force at the July 17 meeting, and now the focus is on planning the 2020 events. Due to the pandemic, the events will be all virtual. This includes the Oregon Architecture Awards, formerly the Portland Architecture Awards, and local section People’s Choice Awards in the Eugene, Salem, and Southern Oregon Sections.

See the July 23rd Message From for more information about the Design Award Task Force. Members of the task force joined the 7/24 AIA Oregon VHH to discuss their recommendations, the 2020 programs, and the recommendations that are targeted for 2021.

The purpose of our design awards programs is to celebrate the value of good design.
