Framework for Design Excellence
In response to AIA's commitment to climate action, the Maryland chapters have included the Framework for Design Excellence for all awards entries. While your responses are optional, entries are encouraged to address those measures that are relevant to the project. You may enter "N/A" when not applicable or, explain why this measure is not relevant to the project. Our goal is to inspire sustainable, resilient and inclusive design and to support AIA's commitment to climate action. Read more on the Framework HERE.
