Center for Architecture

The Center for Architecture conducts charitable and educational activities in the Greater Philadelphia Region that advance the knowledge of architecture and further the appreciation and improvement of our communities and the built environment. Activities include advancing the education of children about the built environment and providing interpretive materials and programs for the general public. Programs currently supported by the Center include Architecture in Education, Community Design Collaborative and Charter High School for Architecture + Design.

Current programs include:

• The Louis I. Kahn Memorial Lecture continues a 20-year lecture series to honor the memory of noted Philadelphia architect Louis I. Kahn.
• The Architecture in Education program provides enrichment services to children in the region's schools. The program is delivered through volunteer architects and students of architecture.
• The Architectural Guide to Philadelphia is produced by the Center for Architecture. The book is currently being revised.
