Celebrating the exemplary work of Colorado architects.
The AIA Colorado Annual Design Awards honor the most outstanding work of AIA Colorado members and their firms, reinforce the value of great architecture, and highlight members’ positive contributions to the community.
The AIA Colorado Honor Awards recognize the people and teams who are making a difference in the architecture profession and their communities. They’re committed to continually growing as architects, value creating a strong team and recognize the power of architecture in our daily lives.
The 2026 Design + Honor Awards Celebration is taking place Thursday, September 17th at Mile High Station.
CELEBRATION
The AIA Colorado Design + Honor Awards Celebration is more than an awards ceremony. It’s a celebration of Colorado’s architecture community and the people, ideas, and partnerships that continue to shape the built environment across our state.
Join colleagues, clients, collaborators, emerging professionals, and industry partners for an unforgettable evening at Mile High Station as we recognize the recipients of the 2026 Design + Honor Awards while celebrating the collective creativity, leadership, and impact of the architectural profession.
Throughout the evening, experience the reveal of this year’s award-winning projects, hear from leaders within our profession, and applaud the individuals and firms whose work is advancing design excellence throughout Colorado. Enjoy an exceptional culinary experience, craft curated cocktails, and a live performance by Extreme Strings, creating an energetic backdrop for reconnecting with old friends, making new connections, and celebrating together.
