An article in today's San Diego Union-Tribune covers the 2005 San Diego AIA Awards program and quotes LA architect Lawrence Scarpa saying:
"I've served on a lot of (design awards) juries. I was shocked and pleasantly surprised to find this many quality projects.
"There's something going on in San Diego that's right."In addition to Lawrence Scarpa, the jurors were Michael Folonis of Michael W. Folonis, AIA and Associates and Ralph Johnson, FAIA, firm-wide design principal at Perkins+Will.
