The Columbus Center for Architecture and Design

The Columbus Center for Architecture and Design (Non-Profit Organization) promotes architecture and design to the public via programming and outreach. This initiative is essential in enriching our community and professions by demonstrating their diversity and connection. In the future, we envision a Columbus that is empathetic to the diversity and value of architecture and design. AIA Columbus established CFAD in 2010, inspired by similar centers in New York City and Philadelphia that bring design professionals and their communities together. CFAD was created to unite architects and designers with the broader public and those interested in design and the built environment. CFAD strives to bring more people into our community and make our programming accessible to all.
