HOW DO YOU EXPERIENCE ARCHITECTURE?
In 2012, Maria Ogrydziak, AIA, American Institute of Architects Central Valley Chapter
president, had a vision to elevate the public’s understanding of regional architecture
and the value of AIA architects. What resulted was Experience Architecture, an inspiring
event celebrating architecture and providing access to design to the general public and
our community at-large. Now in its eighth year, this annual event is made up of a series
of events, developed and led by members of the AIA Central Valley Chapter, our allied
members, sustaining partners and local community organizations, spread over multiple
days each year in October. Experience Architecture brings the public and architects together
to tour, discuss, watch, learn and literally draw our built environment.
During Experience Architecture, tour innovative new buildings by bicycle at the popular
Tour d’Architecture Bike Ride; walk through projects and meet the architects who
designed them during the Design | Access Open Projects Tour; view the film “Face of a
Nation” and enjoy a discussion with its director Mina Chow, AIA; and bring your family
to the Kids Draw Architecture event — this year, kids and architects will draw the iconic
Crocker Art Museum together. These are just a few of the events we have planned. Check
out the full event schedule on page 9 for more.
If you’ve participated before, we welcome you back to your favorite event and encourage
you to try a new one — and bring a friend or neighbor and engage. For those who have
not attended before, make this the year that you join in.
We look forward to seeing you!
