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.
On Thursday July 16th, the CAE Research ThinkTank hosted it's fifth virtual conversation, Changing the Conversation in Design: Re-Imagining School with Student Experts. The panel featured high school and college students from across the US speaking to their experiences and how vital student voices are in environments designed to educate them. The group discussed methods of increasing student feedback and the importance of making room for students in policies and administrative decisions, in an ongoing, meaningful way. The group was moderated by AIANY-Social Science and Architecture Committee Co-Chair and AIA-CAE Research ThinkTank member Evie Klein (CUNY/Pratt) with assistance from Dr. RJ Webber (@NoviAcademics), Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction for the Novi Community School District in Novi, Michigan.
