DMF Design Awards 2025 Winner Clay Holden Architects featured on America ByDesign: Architecture

America ByDesign: Architecture, a livestreamed television series program on Saturday evenings on CBS, promotes American architectural innovation, ingenuity and design excellence.

Clay Holden of Clayton Holden Architects, who is a DMF Design Awards 2025 winner, was asked to discuss the design of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) headquarters and community center in Los Angeles (AIA|LA + ACLA Center for Communities).

The AIA|LA + ACLA Center for Communities serves as a hub fostering collaboration between professionals and the broader community on design solutions for a more sustainable and equitable future. Located within a historic 1927 neoclassical bank building, the project seamlessly integrates modern functionality while preserving the building’s original character.
