On September 23, Thursday, at 5 p.m. at the Pittsburgh Highline, Scenic Pittsburgh will present the Award for Scenic Conservation to Indovina Associates Architects. It’s our mission to protect, enhance, and promote the scenic beauty – both natural and built – of southwestern Pennsylvania, and part of that mission is recognizing scenic leaders.

Another part of our mission is to encourage people to make their community more scenic – and to spread the word that you don’t have to be an award-winning architectural firm to have a big impact on your surroundings.

Here are a five ways you can act today, where you are, to champion the unique scenic values of YOUR neighborhood.
