The SAA Awards is a recurring academic event organized by the Department of Architecture at Parahyangan Catholic University and has been held every semester since 2003. The event aims to recognize outstanding design works produced by students participating in the SAA (Studio Akhir Arsitektur). In addition to awarding excellence, the program serves as a forum for critique, feedback, and systematic evaluation of studentsโ architectural design quality, particularly within the final studio stage. The event is supported by the national professional body, the Indonesian Institute of Architects (IAI), as an effort to strengthen and sustain the relationship between architectural education and professional practice. This event is sponsored by profession association, that is IAI (Ikatan Arsitek Indonesia) to maintain the continuity between academic world and the professional world.
