Mission Statement
The Center for Architecture is a leading cultural venue for architecture and the built environment in New York City, informed by the complexity of the City’s urban fabric and in dialogue with the global community. Our mission is to educate a broad audience about the built environment and the value of architectural practice.
About This Cause
Through free informative exhibitions, timely pubic programs, and design education experiences for K-12 students and families, the Center for Architecture (CFA) reveals the transformative power of architecture The CFA presents 12 exhibitions, offers 1,000 public programs, and delivers hundreds of design education experiences to a visitorship of 70,000 each year. Our free exhibitions expose New Yorkers to a wide range of architectural topics and ideas through provocative and engaging exhibitions and related programs, positively impacting visitors of all socioeconomic backgrounds, and drawing a broad audience. Archtober, NYC’s Architecture and Design festival of activities, programs, and exhibitions, held every October, raises awareness of the important role of design in the built environment. Archtober’s calendar features more than 200 architecture and design events happening at CFA and collaborating institutions across NYC. The Center for Architecture’s K-12 education programs serve over 9,500 youth and adults annually at the CFA and in schools throughout the city. Our K-12 programs were launched in 1991 with the founding of AIANY’s Learning By Design committee, NYC’s first K-12 architectural education program. After partnering with New York City museums and arts education organizations, LBD:NY established its own K-12 classroom-based residency program in 1996, and in 1998 became a contracted NYC Department of Education vendor. With the opening of the Center for Architecture in 2003, we developed new youth, family and school programs to complement the in-school LBD:NY program, our longest-standing educational initiative. The Center for Architecture now hosts a robust slate of year-round architecture education programs including: Student Days, hands-on workshops at the CFA for visiting K-12 classes; summer, vacation, after-school, and weekend youth programs; weekend Family Day workshops; and Professional Development for educators. The Center for Architecture endeavors to expand the impact of our education, public, and exhibition programs to make architecture accessible to all.
