New Practices San Francisco is the 2009, West Coast premiere of AIA New York’s annual portfolio competition and exhibition. New Practices San Francisco is a platform for recognizing and promoting new and emerging architecture firms within San Francisco that have undertaken innovative strategies – both in projects and practice. Distinguishing this award from others given to new practices is the attention focused on how the winning firms are uniquely shaped to better facilitate the type of projects that they undertake.
Winning firms are featured in an exhibition at the Center for Architecture in New York, June 4 - September 19, 2009 and at the Center for Architecture + Design Gallery at AIA San Francisco November 5 - January 29, 2010.
