“We invite San Diegans to join us for the 43rd Annual Awards Ceremony and find out which projects will take home an Orchid or an Onion!” said Rachel Morel, Orchids & Onions Communications Director and PGAL Senior Associate. “We could not do it without the support of our amazing sponsors, volunteers, jurors and the community.”

For 43 years, the San Diego Architectural Foundation has brought the community together to celebrate the importance of architecture in our daily lives and raise public awareness and appreciation for the important work industry professionals do to create inspired places and spaces.
