Min | Day has been selected as one of 6 "New Practices" by the AIA San Francisco. New Practices San Francisco, the West Coast premiere of AIA New York’s annual portfolio competition and exhibition, is a platform for recognizing and promoting new and emerging architecture firms within San Francisco that have undertaken innovative strategies – both in projects and practice. Distinguishing this award from others given to new practices is the attention focused on how the winning firms are uniquely shaped to better facilitate the type of projects that they undertake. 

Our work will be exhibited at the Center for Architecture in New York (June 4 - September 19, 2009) and at the Center for Architecture + Design Gallery in San Francisco (November 12, 2009 - January 29, 2010). We will participate in a symposium at the Center in New York on June 5, 2009 and at other events to follow in San Francisco. Visit www.aiasf.org for more information on the program, our fellow winning firms and the jury.
