Goals of the AAA

To make architecture accessible the AAA is developing:

Black is the name and brand of the AAA Talks
Black is a series of talks about 21C architecture given in Australia by the world’s leading architects and presented by the Australian Architecture Association.

Black has been chosen as the name of the 21C talks series because it suggests a place crammed full of dense, interesting and enjoyable ideas – waiting to be discovered and relished by architects and non-architects who love architecture.

Black speakers include: Peter Zumthor, David Chipperfield, Ricardo Legorreta, Todd Williams and Billie Tsien, Alvaro Siza and Renzo Piano.

White is the name and brand of the AAA Tours
White is a programme of architecture tours that will open the world of architecture to everyone in the Australian community.

White has been chosen as the name of the architecture tours because it suggests a space waiting to be filled up with information about architecture and is considered the starting point of understanding for non-architects.

White tours include: a Sydney Harbour Architecture Cruise, the Sydney Walk, the Surry Hills Walk and a Glenn Murcutt tour of the Arthur and Yvonne Boyd Centre at Riversdale.

Chicago Architecture Foundation
To use the Chicago Architecture Foundation (CAF) as the model for the AAA. This goal is being developed in a number of ways, following the visit to Australia of the CAF President and CEO, Lynn Osmond last October, the CAF have now joined the AAA as a Founding Corporate Member.

Media Office
To assist all journalists, editors and producers, with architecture stories.

Think Tank
To produce opinion and comment on architecture.
