The 2024 AIA San Antonio People + Places Awards was a night to remember last week, celebrating the individuals and projects that shape the city's vibrant architectural landscape. I was honored to receive the AIA Trailblazer Award, recognizing local innovative contributions to the industry.
Lake|Flato also won three project awards for various project types: Higher Education, Hospitality (with Gensler), and Residential.
The event was here in San Antonio (the 7th largest city in the USA:)) and had a great turnout, as you can see in the photo below.
