1. The Buffalo Architecture Foundation
is pleased to announce that the
Architecture + Education program
has been named an honoree of the
American Institute of Architects (AIA)
Diversity Recognition Program.
The Diversity Recognition Program recognizes
architects, local AIA components, educational
institutions, and organizations that are
actively committed to increasing diversity and
inclusion within the architecture profession.
The honorees will be celebrated during the
2013 AIA National Convention and Design
Exhibition in June, in Denver, Colorado.
The Architecture + Education
Program brings over a decade
of momentum and successful
public outreach to students in
Buffalo Public Schools. The
program was founded to increase awareness
and appreciation of the built environment and
local communities, and to use architecture as
a multidisciplinary form of active learning. The
program brings local architects, Buffalo Public
School classroom teachers and University at
Buffalo architecture students together to teach
standard New York State curriculum through
architectural principles.
