  Yes, It’s True: Small Is Beautiful
Presenting the AIA’s 2007 Small Projects Awards
AIA Small Project Practitioners chose eight projects to receive 2007 Small Projects Awards, which promote excellence in small-project design. The awards program, now in its third year, emphasizes the excellence of small-project design and strives to raise public awareness of the value and design excellence that architects bring to all projects, regardless of the size and scope. Each entry is judged for the success with which the project meets its individual intent and requirements. Entries are weighed individually, not in competition with each other.
