AIA San Fernando Valley: '26 Design Awards Gala

Join AIA San Fernando Valley for an evening celebrating the projects, people, and ideas shaping the built environment.

Hosted in partnership with Prudential Lighting, our Annual Design Awards Gala brings together 100+ architects, designers, allied professionals, industry partners, and community leaders to recognize exceptional design across the region.

From the way natural light transforms a space to the precision of a beautifully detailed fixture, light is an essential part of how we experience architecture. This year, we’re celebrating the ways thoughtful design, materiality, detail, and light come together to create spaces that are memorable, functional, and meaningful.

The evening will recognize outstanding projects across a range of categories—including residential, commercial, interiors, adaptive reuse, historic preservation, landscape, sustainable design, urban design, and more.

The Gala is more than an awards ceremony. It is an opportunity to come together with the people shaping architecture and design across the region, celebrate the work of our peers, meet industry partners, and recognize the ideas moving the profession forward.

Whether you're an architect, designer, student, emerging professional, consultant, manufacturer, or allied industry partner, join us for an evening of design, recognition, connection, and celebration.

Our Design Awards Gala would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors: PLP Socal, Current Lighting, DMF Lighting, Amrize, and Energy Code Ace!

Join more than 100 architects, designers, industry professionals, and community leaders for an evening celebrating exceptional architecture and design. Reserve your seat today—space is limited, and we expect the Gala to sell out!
