Each year, the stunning recipients of the AIA Architectural Photography Competition, sponsored by AIA St. Louis, make their public debut in large-scale format at the AIA national convention. This year, unfortunately, due to a shipping accident, the winners could not be displayed at the convention. But Las Vegas’ loss is AIArchitect’s gain, as AIA St. Louis has given us permission to show the winning photos. Thanks to AIA St. Louis Executive Director Michelle Swatek for all of her help.
