Dubin Family Young Architect Award

The Dubin Family Young Architect Award recognizes excellence in ability and exceptional contributions by a Chicago-area architect between the ages of 25 and 39.

This year's recipient is Matthew Dumich, AIA project manager at Valerio Dewalt Train Associates. Matt has 12 years of professional experience and has been extremely active and recognized in the industry. In 2009, Matt co-founded AIA Chicago's Bridge mentoring program which connects younger architects and AIA Fellows. "As a young architect I have been fortunate to be mentored by strong leaders who have taught me the value of hard work and committed service," said Dumich.
