Reading Time: < 1 minute“Design Matters” is the theme of National Architecture Week, which runs from April 12th to 16th. One of the ways AIA-NJ is celebrating is with an architectural display at the NJ State House.
The display of architectural projects prepared by a number of AIA-NJ architecture firms will be featured in the State House outside of Café NJ in Gold Finch Square. The display is open to the public for view from 7:30 am to 5:00 pm Monday through Friday during Architecture Week.
If you will be visiting the area, stop by. The State House also offers guided tours, coordinate your visit to do both, so you can do both. Tours are normally each day from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm, every hour. However we recommend visitors contact the State House‘s Office of Public Information to verify tour times in advance.

Architects are creative professionals, educated, trained, and experienced in the art and science of building design, and licensed to practice architecture. Their designs respond to client needs, wants and vision, protect public safety, provide economic value, are innovative, inspire and contribute positively to the community and the environment.

What is this display? Who put it together? What firms are displaying work and how were they selected?
I do not personally know the answers to your questions, however will look into and reply to you shortly.
The AIA-NJ architectural firms participating in the display are:
LIMNARCHITECTS
HDR CUH2A
The Port Authority of NY & NJ
GRO Architects, PLLC
Faridy Veisz Fraytak PC
This is an admirable initiative by the AIA-NJ, and I am surprised that more firms haven’t taken advantage of this opportunity to display work and highlight the profession (disclosure: my firm is participating in the exhibition.) Not many people seem to be aware of National Architecture Week, so this is a fine way to celebrate it, and I hope that this event will be repeated next year, with greater participation.
