The AIA Charlotte Design Awards seek to honor design excellence in Architecture, Interiors, and Urban Design. It also seeks to provide a forum for discussion within the profession and in the public realm regarding the value of quality architecture and the contribution of the architectural profession to the built environment.

The 2030 Challenge, an initiative begun at AIA Seattle in conjunction with Architecture 2030, focuses on the goal of carbon-neutral buildings by 2030. AIA Charlotte has chosen to pursue this goal through the AIA+2030 Professional Series, a 10-part series of intermediate-level professional development courses designed to provide specific ways to make the built environment more energy-efficient. AIA Charlotte looks forward to embracing this goal and furthering its mission of a sustainable-minded community, and hopes you will join us in the AIA+2030 Professional Series.
