Celebrate National Architecture Week with AIABaltimore, the Baltimore Architecture Foundation (BAF), and partner organizations. We will be offering several events over the course of the week, most free of charge!
National Architecture Week is celebrated the week of Thomas Jefferson’s birthday. While not educated as an architect, Jefferson is the only U.S. president to be recognized for his architectural affinity.
