Architect Headquarters to be Redesigned to Address Climate Change, Equity, Collaboration
The American Institute of Architects’ (AIA) Board of Directors unveiled schematic design plans today to fully renovate its National headquarters to be a model of sustainability, equity, and collaboration.
“AIA’s headquarters should serve as an expression of the value architects provide and align with the values we uphold as a profession,” said AIA 2022 President Dan Hart, FAIA. “We have a responsibility to redesign this iconic building to the highest standards in sustainability, resilience, and equity. By demonstrating the powerful role design can play in improving our communities, we can show how to take the action that is needed to move the needle on climate action and to make the built environment healthier and safer for future generations. In order to effectively advocate for these changes, we must start by taking action ourselves.”
