America ByDesign: Architecture, a six-part series on CBS

AIA continues to highlight and advance the work of architects. During conversations our new CEO had with members this year, many shared the importance of AIA promoting the value of architects to a larger audience.

We’re excited to share that we recently engaged with America ByDesign: Architecture, a six-part series on CBS promoting American architectural innovation, ingenuity, and design excellence. All architects highlighted in the shows are AIA members. We were pleased to participate in this opportunity through the power of partnership and collaboration without cost to AIA.

This is a series you will not want to miss, especially Episode 4, which was filmed at AIA National in Washington, D.C., where AIA Board leadership had the honor of sharing the insight and inspiration of AIA members and the impact you have on society.
