The American Institute of Architects[1] (AIA) is recognizing 11 exceptional designs with its 2018 Small Project Awards. Complete details for each of the awarded projects can be reviewed on AIA’s website.[2]

Now in its 15th year, the AIA Small Project Awards program—established by The Small Project Practitioners (SPP)—recognizes small-project practitioners for the high quality of their work.
