- America's Favorite Architecture Announced in Washington, DC
America’s
Favorite Architecture is the result of an AIA and Harris Interactive
poll of 1,800 Americans naming their 150 favorite structures across
the nation based on nominations from AIA member architects. As we
negotiate rights and confirm facts, the AIA150 logo is used as a placeholder.
This remains a work in progress and you are encouraged to contribute.
A click on the "Comment or learn more" link brings you to a dedicated
page where you can learn more about the chosen subject and tell us
a personal story about it, argue its merits or faults, and read and
debate others’ comments. In the months ahead, we will continue
to engage the public in a discussion of the built environment as part
of a year-long celebration of The American Institute of Architects
150th anniversary, including 156 Blueprint for America community-service
projects at the local level.
