In celebration of #EarthDay, we're highlighting the 2024 Gold Medal + Sustainability Award-winning "Rosa Valdes STEM + Innovation Center" by Bohlin Cywinski Jackson. In this project, sustainability isn’t just taught—it’s lived. This project features exposed mass timber, abundant natural light, and visible energy-saving strategies that encourage students to learn with the environment, not just about it. A true model of sustainable design for education. 🌱🌍 #SustainableDesign #STEMEducation #Sustainability (photographer: Nic Lehoux)

From 259 students across 11 classrooms with 15 passionate volunteers—DesignPhiladelphia’s Design Education team, local AIA members, and volunteers brought design to life in a BIG way during #ArchitectureWeek. From exploring real-world climate solutions to navigating the architectural process from concept to construction, students engaged with a wide range of design topics—all made possible through the guidance and dedication of volunteers. When it comes to volunteerism, your time, your expertise, and your voice can truly inspire the next generation. What you do matters more than you know, and we are excited to see the continued impact that design professionals will make on the future leaders of our community.

Love seeing creativity and curiosity come together like this for Architecture Week 2025! 🏛️✏️ Check out all of the volunteers and how they engage with students throughout the week to celebrate and share design expertise. (The American Institute of Architects (AIA) #ArchWeek2025)
Join us in celebrating Architecture Week 2025! This week honors the field of architecture and invites everyone, especially K-12 students, to explore architecture and design. This year, DesignPhiladelphia’s Design Education Program partnered with AIA Philadelphia to bring architecture straight to the classrooms of The School District of Philadelphia. Through field trips, career pathway discussions, and hands-on activities, students engaged with real architects, explored what a career in design looks like, and discovered how their creativity can shape the world around them. Thank you to our Arch Week Volunteers: Uchenna Okere, Jennifer Grafton, AIA, ALEP, Tiffany Millner, Jeremy Avellino, AIA, CPHC, LEED-AP, Michael Spain, Assoc. AIA, NOMA, and Tyler Stull! They helped make all of this possible and shared their knowledge with the next generation of design!
