Due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation, all Architecture Month events have been postponed or reformatted to webinars. Check below for new dates. Thank you for your understanding and we appreciate your continued engagement, support, and flexibility as we all work through this health challenge together.
Architecture Month is a citywide celebration of the buildings and spaces that shape our city, the creative minds who bring them to life, and the intriguing stories they tell.
Each April, in partnership with cultural institutions, design firms, organizations, and others, architecture enthusiasts and design professionals alike participate in guided tours, film screenings, lectures, open studios, presentations, and public events throughout Washington, DC. These programs inspire the community by shining a spotlight on the impact of architecture, design, and urbanism in our nation’s capital. Join us and reconnect with the city around you.
