Architecture Week 2025 is April 13-19! This event is near and dear to my heart, as one of my AIA staff VP roles found me serving as the internal lead for the AIA’s sesquicentennial in 2007. Overall, AIA150 was an unprecedented effort to greatly enhance the public’s understanding of the power of architecture and, in so doing, create a lasting legacy for the American Institute of Architects. One of AIA150’s most significant initiatives, Architecture Week, launched April 8-14, 2007 as a weeklong public outreach celebration spotlighting the role of architects and the part of architecture in enhancing livability, elevating well-being, and enriching quality of life (my words). Architecture Week endures as one of those “lasting legacies” and has become increasingly impactful over the years, particularly through strong programming and community engagement by our state and local components. While the numbers would be difficult to track, imagine the hundreds of thousands of Americans who have learned more about our profession’s profound influence on the human experience through these hundreds of Architecture Week events. At the national level, Architecture Week has had many iterations over the years, but the AIA’s re-energized approach in 2024 was a huge success! Our professional society hopes to build on this momentum by continuing the focus on K-12 initiatives that support existing chapter programming while providing tools for anyone interested in sharing architecture with young people. The ArchWeek page on aia.org has a ton of great information about ways to get involved: https://lnkd.in/e6Fi-ci7 ! I cannot wait to see how Architecture Week unfolds in 2025! #ArchitectureWeek #NationalArchitectureWeek #AIA #BecomeAnArchitect Photo Credit: Times Square in 2014, The American Institute of Architects (AIA)
