Awards Beyond the Norm
The A+D Museum Design Awards break away from the traditional award program structure to recognize the work on contemporary design space fringes. Through the jury and categories, the awards are designed to acknowledge the cross-disciplinary and multi-experiential reality of the architecture and design community. They are a moment of recognition for those designers and architects who do not fit the mold, who can be appreciated not only by experts in the field but also by those outside. These are awards for those who venture beyond the confines of traditional architecture and design.
The A+D Museum Design Awards are scheduled for the winter of 2020.

Opportunity
The A+D Design Awards are mission-critical for the museum and our community. They are a platform for emerging architects and designers and those in between to be celebrate and receive invaluable critique on their work.
The funds raised will go to supporting the operations, programming, and outreach that allow us to serve as a center for exploration and education to a multitude of communities. This support will allow us to continue to support and foster innovative creativity.
A part of funds raised will also go to providing prizes for the deserving award winners.
Specifically, our future goals include a boost in both introductory and skill-building educational programs aimed at K-12 students, an array of events as part of our Bridging Realities series, our Inclusion and Community Committee’s foray into understanding Los Angeles’ homelessness challenge. Beyond this, we will boost partnerships with local and global institutions to bring a more comprehensive range of voices both to our exhibitions and our leadership. Despite the year’s challenges, we will continue to break beyond our walls through new mediums of public arts and design programming.
