Architecture Week—established in 2007 in conjunction with a congressional resolution and presidential proclamation marking the AIA’s 150th anniversary—will be observed this year from April 7–13. The celebration kicks off with a reception (you’re invited!) April 8 at the AIA national component headquarters in Washington, D.C., and includes the initial release of Architecture: Celebrating the Past, Designing the Future, the definitive book on the last 150 years of American architecture. Also debuting during Architecture Week is The Blueprint for America Mosaic, a Web resource for members, elected officials, and communities featuring efforts undertaken by local and state AIA components to create more livable, healthy, and sustainable communities. And, to raise public awareness of the value of architecture further, there’s the launch of the Shape of America, an Internet-based program offering short multi-media vignettes of cultural and historical significance, each focusing on an AIA 150 America’s Favorite Architecture.
