What an incredible weekend at . The energy, the conversations, and creativity all reminded us why this community is so special.

A deep appreciation to StructureCraft for providing us with such an iconic booth. Your craft, vision, and generosity made the space a true standout.

And a huge thank‑you to Tecture for creating the wave wall feature that showcased 10 years of design excellence in San Diego, and became the heart of the booth; a place where people gathered, connected, and reflected on captured moments. This, of course, also wouldn’t have been possible without the beautiful photo and image printing by Image Options.

We’re grateful for the many members, partners, and colleagues who stopped by to connect with us and take photos. We worked, learned and celebrated to feature our 900+ San Diego members to the 12,000+ conference attendees and 600+ exhibitors. Your conversations and enthusiasm made this year’s conference truly memorable.

And of course, to Lauren Liles and the incredible team at The American Institute of Architects, thank you for all of your hard work and energy in keeping things running smoothly and cultivating one of the best conferences yet! (we may be a little biased 😉) Hope you are all getting some well-deserved rest.

See you at AIA27 in Philadelphia!

Architecture has the power to shape moments of change.

As we conclude our lead‑up to the 2026 Lecture Series, we’re reflecting on the ideas that shape Jennifer Luce’s approach to design and the role architecture plays in moments of change.

Her work invites us to consider purpose, clarity, and the possibilities that emerge when our built environment responds thoughtfully to transition.

We look forward to welcoming you on May 21 at the Mingei International Museum for an evening centered on design, dialogue, and the future of our shared spaces.
