"The Texas Society of Architects Studio Awards recognize unbuilt projects that demonstrate excellence in design. Real or theoretical projects that go beyond the boundaries of architecture to address current critical issues are encouraged. Submissions from students and practitioners are judged on equal footing, and projects of all types are considered together.

"Introducing the second Architect's Chair competition, an exciting opportunity for architects and designers to showcase their versatility and creativity by designing a signature piece of furniture. Inspired by the long-standing tradition of iconic architects creating custom furniture as an extension of their architectural work, this competition challenges participants to distill their design approach into its core components and represent their unique style in a single piece of furniture — the architect's chair."
