Architecture provides structure to our lives. It gives form to the places where we live, work and play. Architects provide practical, cost-effective and eye-catching design solutions for public and private sector clients. From public structures like fire stations and libraries to the private development of retail spaces and housing, architects create safe and functional designs that are not only aesthetically pleasing but structurally sound.

National Architecture Week is celebrated each year during the birthday week of Thomas Jefferson, paying homage to Jefferson’s architectural background. This week, we’re honoring architects by showcasing how architects impact our surroundings.
