2x8: EVOLVE Student Exhibition Press Release
(Los Angeles, CA) – The American Institute of Architects Los Angeles Chapter (AIA|LA) announces the opening of
its annual 2x8 Student Exhibition entitled 2x8: EVOLVE which will occur in Spring 2014. This opening marks the
11th anniversary of the program’s founding.
2x8 is an annual exhibition sponsored by the AIA|LA showcasing exemplary student work from architecture and
design institutions throughout California. Each participating academic program selects two student projects that
exemplify its core vision. A noteworthy panel of architects and designers will judge the projects, announce the
winners at the exhibition opening, and convene in a forum to discuss the award-winning work.
A competition to design the exhibit for 2x8: EVOLVE was held earlier this year. The AIA|LA Academic Outreach
Committee selected Cellular Complexity as the winning entry, a project by UCLA lecturer Julia Körner in
collaboration with Marie Boltenstern and Kais Al-Rawi.
“This year’s winning scheme…presents a parametric pavilion of twisting planes that transitions in porosity
from one end to the other.” – The Architects Newspaper, June 2013
The 2x8: EVOLVE Student Exhibition and opening reception party will occur at Los Angeles-area exhibition
space beginning in the Spring 2014. For further information please visit:

2x8: EVOLVE Student Exhibition Sponsorship Invitation
Re:
AIA/LA Academic Outreach Committee
2x8: EVOLVE Student Exhibition
Dear Potential Sponsor:
The Academic Outreach Committee of the AIA|LA would like to invite you to become a sponsor for the
upcoming 2x8: EVOLVE Student Exhibition. The exhibition will open in Spring 2014 at a Los Angeles-area
exhibition space. The exhibition will highlight exemplary work of two students from each participating
California-based academic design program.
Your generous contribution will also help benefit the AIA|LA Annual Student Scholarship Program, an important
component to this exhibition, which recognizes local academic design students, including those featured in 2x8:
EVOLVE.
The AIA|LA believes that the 2x8 Student Exhibition and the scholarship fund are extremely important to the
community. While exposing the unequaled diversity of design talent that exists in our regional schools, these
two programs also forge an invaluable link between emerging talent and the professional world. We believe
that this link will give rise to collaborations and alliances vital to the improvement of our built environment.
The AIA|LA understands that many firms are challenged these days by the current economic situation. Therefore,
we are offering alternative and affordable levels of sponsor participation. We wish to make it easy for all firms to
be involved in the 2x8: EVOLVE scholarship fund-raiser. Attached is a form that may be used to make your
contribution. Every dollar counts!
This is a wonderful opportunity to support the 2x8: EVOLVE Student Exhibition and help build a scholarship
fund for our emerging design talent. Please join us as we honor our commitment to future generations.
Thank you very much for your consideration, and we look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
AIA|LA AOC 2x8 Committee
