"Concepts" presents award-winning projects from the 2013 Washington UNBUILT Awards, an annual competition conducted by AIA|DC since 2009 which recognizes excellence in both theoretical projects and unbuilt commissioned projects. The program is open to registered architects, landscape architects, planners, interior designers, associate architects and students in the Washington metropolitan area.

The awards program is divided into two categories: theoretical projects refer to exploratory work without a client such as design competitions, hypothetical or research-oriented assignments, and student work; unbuilt commissioned projects refer to unexecuted work or work that not yet constructed in various project types including buildings, interiors, monuments and memorials, planning, public art, public space, transportation infrastructure, and urban design.
