Design quality is becoming an increasingly valuable commodity. Design not only makes products, spaces, and cities more attractive, but it also improves functionality, both of which add real value.

The key to understanding our world is understanding how design operates as a practice and how it forms the world humans inhabit. Better objects and better places make better, safer, healthier and more productive communities.
VISION To create a vehicle through which the practitioners of Architecture and Design can engage a broadly collaborative audience and create a culture that becomes energized about Architecture and Design. MISSION The Architecture & Design Center exists to create an alliance of organizations and individuals that celebrate the value and influence of Architecture and Design. OBJECTIVE To increase the number, quality, and exposure of programs dedicated to Architecture and Design in all its forms.
