Experience Architecture 2019

The Chapter’s eighth annual Experience Architecture public outreach event is scheduled October 3-13, 2019. The event provides two tremendous weeks to celebrate architecture and provided opportunities for those both in, and outside, of the profession, to “experience” architecture and the built environment.

This year’s lineup includes the ever popular Tour d’Architecture bike ride, “Face of a Nation: What Happened to the Wold’s Fair” film screening, our biennial Design Awards Celebration, and more! Follow our Experience Architecture Facebook page to stay up-to-date.

All of our volunteer spots are now full – a huge thank you to all who signed up to help out!

Experience Architecture is a public-outreach event designed to facilitate greater transparency with the public in how architects create our built environment and how it impacts their daily lives; to create an ongoing dialogue to inform a distinct, regional, architectural identity; and to highlight existing relationships between the region and its architecture.
