Promoting outstanding architecture, landscape, interior, and urban design to improve the quality of life for all San Diegans.

Founded in 1978, The San Diego Architectural Foundation (SDAF) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the education and promotion of outstanding architecture, landscape, interior, and urban design to improve the quality of life for all San Diegans. We do this by curating exceptional events throughout the year that are open to both the design community and the public at large.

SDAF explores the impact our developing region, like the design of our homes, workplaces, schools, and communities, and how they influences our health and well-being. Our primary goal is to inspire all San Diegans to discover the value of thoughtful design in the natural and built environment and the effect it has on the quality of our lives.

SDAF is a 501(c) 3 corporation.
