2007 marks two major milestones for the American Institute of Architects: the 150th Anniversary of the Institute and the 100th Anniversary of the AIA Gold Medal program.
Architecture: Celebrating the Past, Designing the Future is a beautiful book that describes and illustrates the rich history, social responsibility, and tremendous
contributions that the AIA, its members, and architecture have brought to the built environment over the last 150 years. This four-color book features over 350 photographs, illustrations,
and sketches, in addition to chapter contributions by architecture experts and profiles of many of the 63 Gold Medalists and active groups within the AIA.
Besides being a beautifully crafted book, Architecture features lengthy discussions on many different aspects of the architecture community such as education, public outreach,
practice, design and technique, history, innovative strategies, as well as a photo gallery of featured structures throughout the last 150 years.
