Didn't get into the official AIA tours at conference? No problem.
IDKC has put together a self-guided map of 11 faith-based architectural landmarks across San Diego - synagogues, Catholic churches, a mosque, a Methodist campus, and a temple designed by Paramahansa Yogananda himself. The collection spans a century of design, from Irving Gill's 1920 Sacred Heart Chapel in Coronado to Byzantine-Moorish domes, Spanish Colonial revival, and contemporary ecclesiastical work.
Not everything is walkable from the convention center, but every site is worth the trip.
Download the map, pick your route, and make a day of it. Here is the link:
