Led by the <a href="https://www.aialosangeles.org/" target="_blank">AIA|LA</a>, <a href="https://www.ac-la.org/" target="_blank">ARCHITECTURE FOR COMMUNITIES LOS ANGELES (ACLA)</a>, and the 2x8 Committee, this year's winning design is <em>PORO-City</em> by Chieh-Ting Chuang, Martha Kriley, Yushan Men, and Kyoung Eun Park. The project uses milk crates to function as a brick system that "is neither transparent nor solid, housing the exhibition without imposing a hard boundary," shares the design team.</p>
<p>As the official media partner of the Exhibition, Archinect and Bustler will be covering this year's event, projects, and student winners. What makes this particular exhibition design competition unique is its open call to design faculty, however this year the committee opened up the call to designers based in California.

As event teams transitioned to digital platforms, the amount of work and effort showcased provided a humbling reminder of how far visual representations of work could be taken.</p>
<p>In November, the AIA Los Angeles and the 2x8 Committee showcased their annual 2x8 Exhibition and Scholarship Award Ceremony. In previous years, this in-person event would attract students, faculty, visitors, and more than 20 California-based <a href="https://archinect.com/schools/list" target="_blank">schools</a> to witness an exhibition that celebrates the very best the state have to offer. </p>
