Our very own in San Diego!

While we are busy drafting and designing back in New York, our architect Nell Taranto has been at the absolute epicenter of architectural innovation! From June 10 - 13, the San Diego Convention Center hosted the premier event of the year: The AIA Conference on Architecture & Design (AIA26).

From visionary keynotes and hundreds of continuing education sessions to the massive Expo floor, it’s been an incredible week of learning, networking, and exploring the future of our industry.

Nell is heading back to the office fully inspired and armed with the latest global design trends. Swipe left to catch a glimpse of the AIA26 atmosphere!

Architecture is about buildings.

Designing through play!

As part of Architecture Week 2026, Nell H. P. Taranto led an interactive Animal Dice Game with students - turning creativity into architecture.

Each group rolled the dice to discover their “client” (animal) and building type, then designed spaces based on real architectural thinking:

Who is the client?
What environment do they live in?
What spaces do they need?

From penguin gyms to monkey libraries, students explored imagination, problem-solving, and design in a fun and engaging way.

This is how future architects begin.

A simple story can shape a big dream.

During AIA Architecture Week, our Treasurer Nell H. P. Taranto spent time with Pre-K students reading Iggy Peck, Architect.

Laughter, curiosity, and imagination filled the room - reminding us that architecture begins with wonder.
