The American Institute of Architects Los Angeles will honor PAR with the 2014 Presidential Emerging Practice Award stating "notable, innovative achievements in design and service to the profession". The awards ceremony will be held in Los Angeles on Wednesday, October 29, 2014. 

The AIA|LA Emerging Practice Award is the highest honor that the American Institute of Architects Los Angeles can bestow on an emerging architecture firm for consistently producing innovative architecture. Educators, civic leaders, media personalities, writers and of course, architects are some of the driving forces that push the architectural profession forward. The 2014 Board, sensitive to the evolution Los Angeles is undergoing, chose to recognize select individuals who take leadership roles in advancing the profession and thus, the City.
