Architecture Week
Architecture Week celebrates the profession of architecture and invites everyone—especially K-12 students—to explore architecture and design. We all play key roles in educating and inspiring the next generation of architects. Let's build the pipeline together.
Thank you to our 2026 Architecture Week sponsors, The AIA College of Fellows and Committee on Architecture for Education.
During Architecture Week 2026, 1,300+ AIA members in 109 chapters and foundations across all 50 states engaged with 29,800+ students!
Virtual read-aloud participation
Over 2700 students engaged as listeners in our virtual read-alouds. Thank you to the authors for their participation! Come back next year for more read-aloud experiences.
