SDAF
San Diego Architectural Foundation raises awareness about the value of excellence in our built environment.
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 industry and the public at large. We explore how the issues impact our growing region, like the design of our homes, workplaces, schools and communities, as well as our health and well-being. Our 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.
In 2021 the Board of Directors voted to make membership FREE with the goal of fully realizing our mission of promoting design to the entire Southern California region. In the five years since we have grown by over 2000 members and continue to add each month.
Design effects everything we do, every day.
