    Architects talking about architecture: AIA Shaping of America Webisodes

    The Shaping of America

    The buildings that we live in and use are rich in history and significance — monuments to our communities‘ and nation‘s image and innovation. More than mere buildings, America‘s most recognizable structures and those not so well known in our communities, influence our lives and inspire us to dream. They are the Shape of America. To mark The American Institute of Architects 150th anniversary in 2007, Americans from coast to coast engaged in a conversation about these structures, voting for their favorite buildings, bridges, monuments and memorials. Now the AIA is continuing the national dialogue through a stimulating series of videos, in which AIA architects share their personal stories, opinions and insights about these works of architecture.

    All in all the webisodes that I have seen offer a fine, quick glimpse at projects that may be considered as major examples of architectural design in American. At the very least a fun journey to broaden your horizons.

    Best of all, its free.
