About
Design has the power to solve some of the biggest issues facing cities today. We believe these stories are among the most important stories we can tell. AIA Film Challenge is a film contest that amplifies the stories of architecture projects that are transforming communities through the power of design and collaboration.
Follow AIA on Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter, where we’ll announce winners and share winning films each Friday!
