The time-honored union fosters sustainability and equity through content and education.
Zonda and the American Institute of Architects (AIA) today announced a three-year renewal of their strategic partnership, extending their historic 11-year collaboration. ARCHITECT magazine will continue to be identified as “The Journal of the American Institute of Architects.”
The partnership is founded upon the mutual core goals of sustainability and equity. AIA seeks to empower architects with education and information to assist in the development of energy-efficient communities and to advance inclusive, diverse, and sustainable policies. Similarly, ARCHITECT – the leading authority on the future of architecture and design – seeks to drive design solutions that will address and mitigate the effects of climate change; as well as foster equity and belonging within the industry through thoughtfully created content, design, and advocacy.
“We are excited to continue our 11-year relationship with the AIA for another three tremendous years,” said Jeff Meyers, CEO of Zonda. “We are honored to provide a platform and meaningful messaging to help impact our communities for positive change and growth within the realms of gender and racial equality, and environmental sustainability. Together, the AIA and ARCHITECT are paving the way for systematic and tangible change within the industry.”
“We look forward to continuing to leverage our partnership to communicate the critical work of the profession and the industry’s impact,” said AIA 2022 President Dan Hart, FAIA. “Together, we hope to further expand our digital reach to inspire our members and the public to do more to make the built environment more sustainable and equitable.”
