This award is the most significant honor presented by the AIACC for service to the profession and is presented to an individual as recognition of outstanding contributions to the improvement of the built environment and contribution to the goals of the architectural profession. 

Mr. Scarpa’s record of accomplishments stretching some 30 years runs the gamut, from award-winning design, to outstanding firm leadership, to creative and innovative service.  His record of individual design awards is significant by itself, yet Mr. Scarpa has served on countless AIA National, AIACC and AIALA, boards, steering committees, editorial advisory boards, nominating committees, awards juries, etc., for nearly two decades.  He has also served on an equal number of significant advisory boards for the Federal, State and Local Governments and several other important and prominent national organizations.

Community Impact – A professor in architecture for more than two decades Scarpa is currently on the faculty at USC. He has pioneered new ways of delivering sustainable buildings and affordable housing. His work in this area has received international recognition. He has co-founded Livable Places, The Affordable Housing Design Leadership Institute and The A+D Museum, non-profit organizations that have positively impacted the built environment.  He has served on several prominent community boards and advisory groups including the US General Services Administration, US Department of State, MacArthur Foundation, Enterprise Community Partners and The Mayor’s Institute on City Design.
