The Colorado Component of The American Institute of Architects (AIA Colorado) has declared April “Colorado Architecture Month.” Colorado Architecture Month provides a series of free events, which are open to the public and are intended to celebrate the importance of architecture in people’s every day lives. Architecture impacts how we live, work, play and even eat.
In addition to AIA Colorado, the four local chapters of AIA in Colorado will host or sponsor events and programs ranging from educational seminars on how to work with an architect, to “Doors Open Denver,” to the ever-popular Box City Event, where children experience the design and construction industry firsthand by requesting permits, ordering materials, designing buildings and constructing those buildings into a cardboard city.
“Colorado has both a rich history of incredibly diverse architecture and some of the most celebrated and talented architects in the country,” said Sonia Riggs, executive director of AIA Colorado. “We decided to utilize those assets to provide free opportunities for people to experience architecture.”
A total of nine events are scheduled across the state, beginning on Tuesday, April 6, and ending on Saturday, April 24.
