Dear fellow AIA-NJ members,
As Chairman of the NJ Architecture Week Committee, I’m pleased to announce our plans for 2024. Coinciding with National Architecture Week, we will host our April 14-20 celebration.
National AIA has set its theme on raising awareness of architects and architecture in the K-12 population. Please see https://www.aia.org/architecture-week. We encourage all members to participate individually, as a firm, or with your local AIA Section in the activities and events they propose and ask that you share your experiences with us via photographs, tagging #aianj #ArchitectureWeek and #NJArchWeek in your social media posts or other means.
Here in New Jersey, we have presented orchestrated content each mid-April in celebration of New Jersey architecture, our members, their work and their interests. Our format has focused on a particular region of the state daily, presenting corresponding architecture and member profiles across our social media outlets.
This year, the state organization will feature a particular project type daily.
We are accepting submissions of your work for publication. We ask that it be submitted to staceykliesch@gmail.com by April 7th, using the format provided above and here AIA-NS_Arch Week 2024_TEMPLATE. Email Stacey to request an editable PowerPoint template slide.
Secondly, we are holding a Photo Competition to be exhibited concurrently with the Week’s celebration. We are soliciting your photos to be judged by your peers for their artistic quality and insights. The photographs must be of NJ Architecture. Categories are Black and White and Color with prizes for the best in each, certificates for 2nd and 3rd place, and a single overall winner regardless of category. Entry forms and rules can be found here https://aia-nj.org/2024-architecture-week-photo-competition/.
In addition, the AIA New Jersey K-12 Committee, co-chaired by Joseph David, AIA, and John Fallon, AIA, is hosting a design competition for all NJ K-12 students. Information is available here: https://forms.gle/HxaWwtybGdveeBgN7. Please encourage your children, grandchildren, and schools to participate.
Your local AIA section may plan additional activities and promotions, so check in with them!
We look forward to your participation, as without it, there is no celebration.
Thank you,
Paul Tiajoloff, AIA
AIA NJ Architecture Week Chairman

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.
