About the Project
Throughout 2014, members of AIA Southern Arizona contributed to a series of essays called My Favorite Place in which they shared a building, space or other spot they love in Southern Arizona. The original series was the brainchild of Gillian Drummond of 3 Story Media and was published in the Arizona Daily Star. It then aired as a limited series on Arizona Illustrated.Share Your Own Favorites
