Experience Architecture 2022: Support this Annual Event!

by Cody Carpino, AIA, AIACV Secretary

As many of you know,  over the last 10 years, Experience Architecture has been the Chapter’s time to celebrate the profession, provide public outreach on how architects create the built environment and highlight Sacramento’s architectural identity within our communities.

In 2022, Experience Architecture will be held on the consecutive dates of October 7-16^th. The event takes months of planning and coordination, and will include a mix of in-person and virtual events centered around this year’s theme of education and the ‘The Why Behind Design.’

This important week would not be possible without the support of our generous and dedicated sponsors, many of whom have been with us since the very first Experience Architecture! Special props to our media sponsor, Comstock’s Magazine, who puts out a fantastic guide each year with details on each event as well as an opportunity to celebrate the various sponsors.

Here are four suggested ways to support this year’s event:

1. Sponsor an event
