Judging The American Institute of Architects "I Look Up Film Challenge"

I'm honored to be judging the American Institute of Architect's third annual I Look Up Film Challenge which invites architects and filmmakers to collaborate in bringing architectural stories to life. This year’s challenge calls for films that highlight projects and architects that are helping to change communities for the better. 

This year's campaign shines a light on the powerful social impact of architects and their work. In partnership with their clients and communities, architects plant the seeds that blossom into stronger neighborhoods, towns and cities. We invite you to share your story.
