Your sponsorship will support the mission of the Architectural Foundation of Los Angeles in bringing you the Design Green Awards, Salon for New Voices Series, and other outstanding programming designed to educate, expand and inspire our community.

The Design Green Awards were created in 2008 by AFLA to support and recognize the metamorphosis of design as architecture explores a language of sustainability. In its fourth year, Design Green has established a tradition of jury reviews by renowned architects, engineers and educators: from San Francisco and New York to Copenhagen. This year’s winners will be featured again at the AIA|LA Design Awards, exhibited at the A+D Museum in Los Angeles, and presented at a new AFLA Gala in October (to be announced). In addition to recognizing these exceptional projects, Design Green seeks to share their stories through case studies available online and develop research projects in the future.

The Salon for New Voices series is a forum for conversations with thinkers and leaders in areas of social justice, education, and sustainability, and continues to honor AFLA’s tradition of community programming in Los Angeles. The first part of this year’s series focuses on why design matters in education and social innovation, and the second part on energy efficiency. All the Salon venues are either LEED certified projects or Design Green Award winners. At the conclusion of this series, it is our goal to partner with our presenters in producing a white paper to inform and persuade stakeholders on the efficacy of using design principles in education, as well as other projects benefiting the community.

Your sponsorship contributes to the sustainability and growth of AFLA programs and will facilitate scholarships to students and professionals in education and research related to sustainable practices. We are especially grateful to our Energy Efficiency Education Partner, Southern California Edison; and in addition, we thank our past sponsors: Louis Poulsen, Prudential Lighting, KEMA, The Japan External Trade Organization, Knoll, American Commissioning Group LLC, Environmental Contracting Corporation, InterfaceFlor, Pacific Solar Radiant, Sci-Arc, Minardos Group, Higgins Development, WareMalcomb, Zimmer Gunsul Frasca, Engineering Economics Inc. and Bentley Prince Street.
