In 2002, the <a href="https://archinect.com/aialosangeles" target="_blank">AIA Los Angeles</a> and a group of LA-based architects, architecture faculty, and design collaborators launched the first <em><a href="https://archinect.com/features/tag/1648893/2x8-exhibition" target="_blank">2x8 Exhibition</a> </em>at the A+D Museum in the Bradbury building. Fast forward 19 years later, the 2x8 Exhibition has become the foremost student-focused architecture exhibition and scholarship event in Los Angeles.&nbsp;</p> <p>Archinect has been a frequent supporter and media sponsor of the 2x8 Exhibition and Student Awards Program. While last year's exhibition and awards ceremony was conducted virtually, the current iteration, <em>2x8:Assemblies</em>, features a collection of outstanding student works, enthusiastic exhibition designers, and a community of supportive architects, design professionals, and visitors.&nbsp;</p>
