Architects in Schools
by Architecture Foundation of Oregon

Architects in Schools delivers arts programming, environmental understanding, awareness of cultural links to history, understanding responsibility to the natural environment, career awareness and communication skills – all through the principles and practices of design while addressing required education standards. Teachers are paired with design professionals such as building architects, landscape architects and urban designers to present curricula specially prepared to integrate the design process and understanding of our role in the environment with what children are learning in school.
