Planning is underway for this year's National Architecture Week, which will be a series of virtual events taking place April 10-16. We'd like to include your voice in this observance. Across the country licensed architects just like you will have the opportunity to answer one simple question - What are you doing in design and why does design matter? Are you willing to share your thoughts with your colleagues? To do so requires you video recording your response, posting it online, and forwarding the link to us.
Responses can be as creative as you would like, but should be no longer than 3 minutes. After recording your answer, post the video to your YouTube or UStream channel and send me the link to the video via email (sbarnes@aia.org). I'd like to have your link no later than Monday, March 28. If you do not have a YouTube or UStream account, please use the links below to set up a free account in just a few minutes.
Each day of National Architecture Week, we'll post links to the video presentations on AIA National's Facebook fan page and invite our fans to join in a conversation about your response. So you might want to include a provocative or thought-provoking comment or query in your response. This is a great opportunity to get your voice heard and let the public know Why Design Matters.
*Please note that not all videos may be used. Any submission that is deemed inappropriate or expresses views and opinions in contradiction to AIA public policies may not be displayed.
