As part of the annual Small Projects Program, the American Institute of Architects<\/a> has selected a new batch of recipients for their 2015 Small Projects Awards, from interior architecture to modern house designs, acknowledging design excellence in small-project practitioners and recognising the value of good design, regardless of the projects\u2019 size and budget. The program, now in its 12th year, serves as a platform for raising awareness of talents in small project construction, object, work of environmental art or architectural element design.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the challenges of working on small projects is that they may not have big budgets and high visibility,\u201d says SPP Chair Marika Snider<\/a>, AIA, \u201cMuch of the beauty of small projects comes in the details and connections\u2014things which often go unnoticed in larger projects. The SPP Awards not only helps promote designers who work at a small scale but also promotes design at a smaller scale. Additionally, the SPP Awards are a way for emerging professionals to showcase their work and help develop their careers and for winners receive national attention for highly local work.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe thorough jury selection each year upholds the rigorous standards of excellence amongst the SPP winners, with the jury chair in concert (this year, Marc Manack of SILO AR+D<\/a>) and the SPP Advisory Group heading the jury member nomination process. \u201cWe look for articulate architects with a reputation for design who are working in small firms or on small projects,\u201d elaborates Marika Snider about the jury member nominees, \u201cWe also look for diversity, not just in gender, race, and ethnicity, but also in geographical diversity, and architects who work on different kinds of projects. The nominations are then sent to the AIA who has final approval for all jury members.\u201d<\/p>\n
