The American Institute of Architects Sandcastle Competition will liven up some walks along the beach in August.
Forty-eight teams composed of architects, contractors and engineers who are affiliated with the American Institute of Architects will transform Galveston’s East Beach into an incredible, albeit somewhat temporary, exhibition space.
