Who we are

The Committee on Architecture for Education (CAE) is a Knowledge Community of the American Institute of Architects (AIA). We are a large and active group of over 10,000 architects and allied professionals concerned with the quality and design of all types of educational, cultural, and recreational facilities that promote lifelong learning in safe, welcoming and equitable environments. The CAE’s mission is to foster innovative and collaborative design of educational facilities and to heighten public awareness on the importance of learning environments.

Beauty: Lifting the Spirits and Delighting the Senses 

12-13-2021 12:00 PM

Exploring the concept of beauty from two perspectives in neuroscience and the natural and built environment. As the concept of beauty and aesthetics finds its way back into the AIA Framework for Design Excellence principles, it sets the stage for thought provoking questions such as:

  • How can architecture engage the senses and connect people to place?
  • What makes a project one that endures over time, one that people will unite around and preserve?
  • How might our designs benefit from key findings in neuroscience to enhance the human experience with a sense of delight, wonder, lingering, learning, and compassion.

As we strive to achieve in architecture - what is not yet fully known about the human capacity for beauty and neurodiversity - we can discover together as new possibilities for the future.
