A Conversation With the 2025 AIA Firm Award Winner
November 19 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Offered as part of AIA California’s Credit Cram
Non-members $25
Join AIA California for a lunchtime presentation of world-changing ideas with the 2025 AIA Architecture Firm Award winner: LPA Design Studios. Hosted online and moderated by AIA CA President Carina Mills, the panel will explore how LPA’s integrated teams are cutting carbon and advancing equity on every project, at every scale and budget. Through the lens of recent civic, education and healthcare work in the region, firm leaders will share what it takes to eliminate carbon emissions from buildings — and why an interdisciplinary, no-excuses approach is central to their practice. From net-zero buildings and carbon-sequestering landscapes to meeting the health challenges of underserved communities, LPA is helping shape what’s next in California. Come meet the people behind the work — and be part of the conversation.
