SAY IT LOUD exhibition has been invited to feature work by Diverse Designers of Texas.

In line with our mission to elevate the contributions of diverse designers, we are inviting you to submit.

​

The SAY IT LOUD(er) - (wia) Texas physical exhibit will debut in October 2022

 

To date, SAY IT LOUD exhibitions have been viewed by an estimate total 55,000 visitors since January 2017. From inception, multiple online publications (such as Forbes, Curbed and The Architects Newspaper) with large subscription bases have helped promote the exhibitions further expanding its impact. One featured firm expressed an increase in business which they attributed to being featured in SAY IT LOUD.

​

The El Paso Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) is welcoming the Texas Society of Architects (TxA) back to El Paso this year for the first annual conference of our organization to be held in El Paso since 1977. 

The TxA Annual Conference and Design Expo will take place in El Paso on October 25th – 29th.  The event is TxA’s largest annual event that will attract over 3000 Architects, Design Professionals and Vendors to El Paso this year. The conference will occupy the entire campus of the El Paso Convention Center.

We strongly encourage submissions that reflect a broad and inclusive definition of design excellence. Each entry is judged for the success with which it has met its individual requirements. Submissions must exhibit design achievement that demonstrates exemplary skill and creativity in the resolution and integration of formal, functional, and technical requirements, including ecological stewardship and social responsibility. Submissions should also reflect a strong sense of place, history, and purpose.

​

Architecture is a profession in which design capability is prized and intellectual property is the most common proof of worth, in terms of talent and experience. Contemporary practice is by its nature collaborative. The more complex the project, or the more prolonged the design and construction process, the more individuals may lay valid claim to credit for some part of the work.
