The light, the colors, the climate. It’s easy to find in Colorado on a summer day. And it gets even easier this June, when the AIA National Convention comes to Denver. There, you’ll find inspiration of a different kind. Over 200 programs to reignite your passion and creativity. The end results—refreshing ideas and a refreshed state of bliss.

AIA Colorado has arranged more than 40 educational tours that provide opportunities to explore the diverse architecture of the Mile High City and its surroundings. Tours earn Learning Units (LUs), with most meeting health, safety, and welfare (HSW) criteria too.

The city boasts significant works by notable architects, from the Denver Art Museum by Daniel Libeskind to the Museum of Contemporary Art by David Adjaye. In nearby Boulder, there is the National Center for Atmospheric Research by I.M. Pei, FAIA, and in Colorado Springs, the United States Air Force Academy, designed by Walter Nesch of Skidmore Owings and Merrill.

You'll have a rare chance to see these and other iconic works up close, with tours developed and led by local experts. Most tours are repeated; additional fees required.
