Celebrating 125 Years of Design Excellence & Advocacy for our Built Environment
AIA Pittsburgh is thrilled to be celebrating a momentous milestone this year – our 125th anniversary! This is an incredible testament to the legacy of our members and the vibrant architectural community we’ve cultivated over more than a century.
To celebrate, we will be hosting special events and programming at new venues (look for announcements on Build Pittsburgh & Design Pittsburgh!) and offering unique opportunities for networking, learning, and fun.
To contribute to our celebration, we invite the AIA Pittsburgh community to share stories, drawings, photos, and any other interesting tidbits that showcase the unique experiences and accomplishments of AIA Pittsburgh and our members.
Examples of content we’re seeking include:
- Old photos showcasing projects or events from years past
- Notable accomplishments achieved by our members beyond their daily practice
- Memorable anecdotes, fun facts, or personal reflections related to your experiences with our association
We plan to use this content by:
- Sharing highlights on our social media channels and in our COLUMNS publication
- Publishing more in-depth articles that delve into the history of our organization and its members
- Creating exhibits at Design Pittsburgh and incorporating content into Architecture Week
Additionally, we are seeking volunteers who are passionate about preserving our history and heritage to assist with:
- Researching historical data and archives related to our organization
- Writing articles for COLUMNS and other publications that explore various aspects of our architectural legacy
Your involvement is instrumental in making our 125th anniversary reflect the rich history of our community.
Submit your memories and ideas by filling out this form, sending us a message at info@aiapgh.org, or tagging @aiapgh and using #AIAPgh125 on social media!
We look forward to showcasing your memories and celebrating this anniversary all year long!
